• Abstract summary: grounded situation recognition (GSR) requires the model to detect all semantic roles that participate in the action. This complex task usually involves three steps: verb recognition, semantic role grounding, and noun recognition. We introduce a new approach for zero-shot GSR via Language EXplainer (LEX)

• Abstract: Benefiting from strong generalization ability, pre-trained vision language models (VLMs), e.g., CLIP, have been widely utilized in zero-shot scene understanding. Unlike simple recognition tasks, grounded situation recognition (GSR) requires the model not only to classify salient activity (verb) in the image, but also to detect all semantic roles that participate in the action. This complex task usually involves three steps: verb recognition, semantic role grounding, and noun recognition. Directly employing class-based prompts with VLMs and grounding models for this task suffers from several limitations, e.g., it struggles to distinguish ambiguous verb concepts, accurately localize roles with fixed verb-centric template1 input, and achieve context-aware noun predictions. In this paper, we argue that these limitations stem from the mode's poor understanding of verb/noun classes. To this end, we introduce a new approach for zero-shot GSR via Language EXplainer (LEX), which significantly boosts the model's comprehensive capabilities through three explainers: 1) verb explainer, which generates general verb-centric descriptions to enhance the discriminability of different verb classes; 2) grounding explainer, which rephrases verb-centric templates for clearer understanding, thereby enhancing precise semantic role localization; and 3) noun explainer, which creates scene-specific noun descriptions to ensure context-aware noun recognition. By equipping each step of the GSR process with an auxiliary explainer, LEX facilitates complex scene understanding in real-world scenarios. Our extensive validations on the SWiG dataset demonstrate LEX's effectiveness and interoperability in zero-shot GSR.

  Computer Vision (CV) has yet to fully achieve the zero-shot task generalization observed in Natural Language Processing (NLP) In this paper, we explore the idea that CV adopts discrete and terminological task definitions, which may be a key barrier to zero-shot task generalization. Our hypothesis is that without truly understanding previously-seen tasks--due to these terminological definitions--deep models struggle to generalize to novel tasks.

  Grounded Situation Recognition (GSR) aims to generate structured semantic summaries of images for human-like'' event understanding.

We propose a novel two-stage framework that focuses on utilizing such bidirectional relations within verbs and roles.

  Large language models (LMs) are able to in-context learn by conditioning on a few input-label pairs (demonstrations) and making predictions for new inputs. We show that ground truth demonstrations are in fact not required -- randomly replacing labels in the demonstrations barely hurts performance. We find that other aspects of the demonstrations are the key drivers of end task performance.

We propose a novel SituFormer for GSR which consists of a Coarse-to-Fine Verb Model (CFVM) and a Transformer-based Noun Model (TNM)
