• Abstract: Existing two-stream models, such as CLIP, encode images and text through independent representations, showing good performance while ensuring retrieval speed, have attracted attention from industry and academia. However, the single representation often struggles to capture complex content fully. Such models may ignore fine-grained information during matching, resulting in suboptimal retrieval results. To overcome this limitation and enhance the performance of two-stream models, we propose a Multi-view Attention Method (MVAM) for image-text matching. This approach leverages diverse attention heads with unique view codes to learn multiple representations for images and text, which are then concatenated for matching. We also incorporate a diversity objective to explicitly encourage attention heads to focus on distinct aspects of the input data, capturing complementary fine-grained details. This diversity enables the model to represent image-text pairs from multiple perspectives, ensuring a more comprehensive understanding and alignment of critical content. Our method allows models to encode images and text from different perspectives and focus on more critical details, leading to better matching performance. Our experiments on MSCOCO and Flickr30K demonstrate enhancements over existing models, and further case studies reveal that different attention heads can focus on distinct content, achieving more comprehensive representations.

  This paper advances contrastive language-image pre-training (CLIP) into one novel holistic paradigm.

  Text-to-image person re-identification (TIReID) retrieves pedestrian images of the same identity based on a query text. Existing methods for TIReID typically treat it as a one-to-one image-text matching problem, only focusing on the relationship between image-text pairs within a view. We propose a framework, called LCR$2$S, for modeling many-to-many correspondences of the same identity by learning representations for both modalities from a novel perspective.

  Multi-modal keyphrase generation aims to produce a set of keyphrases that represent the core points of the input text-image pair. The input text and image are often not perfectly matched, and thus the image may introduce noise into the model. We propose a novel multi-modal keyphrase generation model, which not only enriches the model input with external knowledge, but also effectively filters image noise.
