• Abstract: Securing a sufficient amount of paired data is important to train an image-text retrieval (ITR) model, but collecting paired data is very expensive. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose an active learning algorithm for ITR that can collect paired data cost-efficiently. Previous studies assume that image-text pairs are given and their category labels are asked to the annotator. However, in the recent ITR studies, the importance of category label is decreased since a retrieval model can be trained with only image-text pairs. For this reason, we set up an active learning scenario where unpaired images (or texts) are given and the annotator provides corresponding texts (or images) to make paired data. The key idea of the proposed AL algorithm is to select unpaired images (or texts) that can be hard negative samples for existing texts (or images). To this end, we introduce a novel scoring function to choose hard negative samples. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed method on Flickr30K and MS-COCO datasets.

• Leveraging Unpaired Data for Vision-Language Generative Models via Cycle Consistency [47.3163261953469]
  Current vision-language generative models rely on expansive corpora of paired image-text data to attain optimal performance and generalization capabilities. We introduce ITIT: an innovative training paradigm grounded in the concept of cycle consistency which allows vision-language training on unpaired image and text data. ITIT is comprised of a joint image-text encoder with disjoint image and text decoders that enable bidirectional image-to-text and text-to-image generation in a single framework.

  ASPIRE (Language-guided Data Augmentation for SPurIous correlation REmoval) is a solution for supplementing the training dataset with images without spurious features. It can generate non-spurious images without requiring any group labeling or existing non-spurious images in the training set. It improves the worst-group classification accuracy of prior methods by 1% - 38%.

  Text-based person search (TBPS) aims to retrieve the images of the target person from a large image gallery based on a given natural language description. Existing methods are dominated by training models with parallel image-text pairs, which are very costly to collect. In this paper, we make the first attempt to explore TBPS without parallel image-text data.

  Cross-modal retrieval methods are the preferred tool to search databases for the text that best matches a query image and vice versa. Image-text retrieval models commonly learn to spurious correlations in the training data, such as frequent object co-occurrence. We introduce ODmAP@k, an object decorrelation metric that measures a model's robustness to spurious correlations in the training data.

  We propose a non-invasive fine-tuning technique that capitalizes on the expressive potential of free-form text. Our method is fast compared to prior fine-tuning methods and does not require a collection of in-class images. We evaluate our method extensively, showing that the generated images are: (i) more accurate and of higher quality than standard diffusion models, (ii) can be used to augment training data in a low-resource setting, and (iii) reveal information about the data used to train the guiding classifier.
