• Title: COVE: COntext and VEracity prediction for out-of-context images
• Authors: Jonathan Tonglet, Gabriel Thiem, Iryna Gurevych,
• Abstract summary: We introduce COVE, a new method that predicts the true COntext of the image and then uses it to predict the VEracity of the caption. COVE beats the SOTA context prediction model on all context items, often by more than five percentage points. It is competitive with the best veracity prediction models on synthetic data and outperforms them on real-world data.

• Abstract: Images taken out of their context are the most prevalent form of multimodal misinformation. Debunking them requires (1) providing the true context of the image and (2) checking the veracity of the image's caption. However, existing automated fact-checking methods fail to tackle both objectives explicitly. In this work, we introduce COVE, a new method that predicts first the true COntext of the image and then uses it to predict the VEracity of the caption. COVE beats the SOTA context prediction model on all context items, often by more than five percentage points. It is competitive with the best veracity prediction models on synthetic data and outperforms them on real-world data, showing that it is beneficial to combine the two tasks sequentially. Finally, we conduct a human study that reveals that the predicted context is a reusable and interpretable artifact to verify new out-of-context captions for the same image. Our code and data are made available.

  We propose a novel framework called Image2Text2Image to evaluate image captioning models. A high similarity score suggests that the model has produced a faithful textual description, while a low score highlights discrepancies. Our framework does not rely on human-annotated captions reference, making it a valuable tool for assessing image captioning models.

  We introduce a pre-trained joint embedding (JE), named IMAGINATOR, trained on 21K distinct image objects level from 1M image+text pairs. IMAGINATOR encapsulates three individual representations: (i) object-object co-location, (ii) word-object co-location, and (iii) word-object correlation. We also evaluate pre-trained IMAGINATOR JEs on three downstream tasks: (i) image captioning, (ii) Image2Tweet, and (iii) text-based image retrieval.

  We study whether language supervision can result in vision models with more transferable representations than traditional image-only methods. We find that image-only methods do not match CLIP's transfer performance, even when they are trained with more image data. Motivated by our findings, we devise simple prescriptions to enable CLIP to better leverage the language information present in existing pre-training datasets.

  We present a new framework for dense prediction by implicitly and explicitly leveraging the pre-trained knowledge from CLIP. Specifically, we convert the original image-text matching problem in CLIP to a pixel-text matching problem and use the pixel-text score maps to guide the learning of dense prediction models. Our method is model-agnostic, which can be applied to arbitrary dense prediction systems and various pre-trained visual backbones.
