我们解决了用草图和文本查询检索图像的问题。我们提出任务形成器（文本和草图变压器），这是一种可使用文本说明和草图作为输入的端到端训练模型。我们认为，两种输入方式都以一种单独的方式无法轻易实现的方式相互补充。任务形成器遵循延迟融合双编码方法，类似于剪辑，该方法允许有效且可扩展的检索，因为检索集可以独立于查询而独立于索引。我们从经验上证明，与传统的基于文本的图像检索相比，除文本外，使用输入草图（甚至是绘制的草图）大大增加了检索召回。为了评估我们的方法，我们在可可数据集的测试集中收集了5,000个手绘草图。收集的草图可获得https://janesjanes.github.io/tsbir/。

我们使用徒手场景草图FS-Coco的第一个数据集将草图研究推向了场景。考虑到实用的应用，我们收集的草图很好地传达了场景内容，但可以在几分钟之内由具有素描技巧的人勾勒出来。我们的数据集包含10,000个徒手场景向量素描，每点时空信息由100个非专家个人提供，提供对象和场景级抽象。每个草图都用文本描述增强。使用我们的数据集，我们首次研究了徒手场景草图和草图标题的细粒度图像检索问题。我们了解以下内容：（i）使用笔触的时间顺序在草图中编码的场景显着性； （ii）从场景草图和图像标题中进行图像检索的性能比较； （iii）素描和图像标题中信息的互补性，以及结合两种方式的潜在优势。此外，我们扩展了一个流行的矢量草图基于LSTM的编码器，以处理比以前的工作所支持的更复杂性的草图。也就是说，我们提出了一个层次草图解码器，我们将其在特定于草图的“预文本”任务中利用。我们的数据集可以首次研究徒手场景素描理解及其实际应用。

State-of-the-art computer vision systems are trained to predict a fixed set of predetermined object categories. This restricted form of supervision limits their generality and usability since additional labeled data is needed to specify any other visual concept. Learning directly from raw text about images is a promising alternative which leverages a much broader source of supervision. We demonstrate that the simple pre-training task of predicting which caption goes with which image is an efficient and scalable way to learn SOTA image representations from scratch on a dataset of 400 million (image, text) pairs collected from the internet. After pre-training, natural language is used to reference learned visual concepts (or describe new ones) enabling zero-shot transfer of the model to downstream tasks. We study the performance of this approach by benchmarking on over 30 different existing computer vision datasets, spanning tasks such as OCR, action recognition in videos, geo-localization, and many types of fine-grained object classification. The model transfers non-trivially to most tasks and is often competitive with a fully supervised baseline without the need for any dataset specific training. For instance, we match the accuracy of the original ResNet-50 on ImageNet zero-shot without needing to use any of the 1.28 million training examples it was trained on. We release our code and pre-trained model weights at https://github.com/OpenAI/CLIP.

Most existing text-video retrieval methods focus on cross-modal matching between the visual content of offline videos and textual query sentences. However, in real scenarios, online videos are frequently accompanied by relevant text information such as titles, tags, and even subtitles, which can be utilized to match textual queries. This inspires us to generate associated captions from offline videos to help with existing text-video retrieval methods. To do so, we propose to use the zero-shot video captioner with knowledge of pre-trained web-scale models (e.g., CLIP and GPT-2) to generate captions for offline videos without any training. Given the captions, one question naturally arises: what can auxiliary captions do for text-video retrieval? In this paper, we present a novel framework Cap4Video, which makes use of captions from three aspects: i) Input data: The video and captions can form new video-caption pairs as data augmentation for training. ii) Feature interaction: We perform feature interaction between video and caption to yield enhanced video representations. iii) Output score: The Query-Caption matching branch can be complementary to the original Query-Video matching branch for text-video retrieval. We conduct thorough ablation studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Without any post-processing, our Cap4Video achieves state-of-the-art performance on MSR-VTT (51.4%), VATEX (66.6%), MSVD (51.8%), and DiDeMo (52.0%).

Many high-level skills that are required for computer vision tasks, such as parsing questions, comparing and contrasting semantics, and writing descriptions, are also required in other domains such as natural language processing. In this paper, we ask whether this makes it possible to learn those skills from text data and then use them to complete vision tasks without ever training on visual training data. Key to our approach is exploiting the joint embedding space of contrastively trained vision and language encoders. In practice, there can be systematic differences between embedding spaces for different modalities in contrastive models, and we analyze how these differences affect our approach and study a variety of strategies to mitigate this concern. We produce models using only text training data on three tasks: image captioning, visual entailment and visual question answering, and evaluate them on standard benchmarks using images. We find that this kind of transfer is possible and results in only a small drop in performance relative to models trained on images. We also showcase a variety of stylistic image captioning models that were trained using no image data and no human-curated language data, but instead text data from books, the web, or language models.

远见和语言预测已成为解决多模式下游任务的普遍方法。当前的趋势是朝着更大的模型和预处理数据集迈进。从长远来看，这一计算头急促似乎是不合理的，而是朝着可持续的解决方案迈进，事实上，排除了资源有限的学术实验室。在这项工作中，我们提出了一个称为VICHA的新框架，该框架有效利用输入数据以通过以下方式提高学习，以： ，（c）利用图像级注释，称为视觉概念，使用现有基础模型（例如剪辑）获得，以提高图像编码器的性能。尽管对数据的预估计少了四倍，但我们的VICHA策略在下游任务（例如图像文本检索，VQA，视觉推理，视觉上和视觉接地）上的其他方法优于其他方法。该代码将在此处公开提供：https：//github.com/mshukor/vicha

潜在文本表示展示了几何规律，如着名的类比：女王是王的女人是男人。在图像表示上没有证明这种结构化语义关系。最近的作品，旨在将该语义差距缩短嵌入图像和文本到多峰空间，使传送文本定义的变换传输到图像模态。我们介绍SIMAT数据集以评估文本驱动图像变换的任务。 SIMAT包含6K图像和18K“转换查询”，其瞄准替换场景元素或更改其成对关系。目标是检索与（源图像，转换）查询一致的图像。我们使用匹配Oracle（OSCAR）的图像/文本来评估图像转换是否成功。 SIMAT DataSet将被公开可用。我们使用SIMAT来表明Vanilla Clip MultimoDal Embeddings不太适合文本驱动的图像转换，但Coco DataSet上的简单FineTuning可以带来戏剧性的改进。我们还研究利用普雷雷普雷普明的通用句子编码器（FastText，Lable和Labse）的几何特性是有益的。

连接视觉和语言在生成智能中起着重要作用。因此，已经致力于图像标题的大型研究工作，即用句法和语义有意义的句子描述图像。从2015年开始，该任务通常通过由Visual Encoder组成的管道和文本生成的语言模型来解决任务。在这些年来，两种组件通过对象区域，属性，介绍多模态连接，完全关注方法和伯特早期融合策略的利用而显着发展。但是，无论令人印象深刻的结果，图像标题的研究还没有达到结论性答案。这项工作旨在提供图像标题方法的全面概述，从视觉编码和文本生成到培训策略，数据集和评估度量。在这方面，我们量化地比较了许多相关的最先进的方法来确定架构和培训策略中最有影响力的技术创新。此外，讨论了问题的许多变体及其开放挑战。这项工作的最终目标是作为理解现有文献的工具，并突出显示计算机视觉和自然语言处理的研究领域的未来方向可以找到最佳的协同作用。

Large-scale cross-modal pre-training paradigms have recently shown ubiquitous success on a wide range of downstream tasks, e.g., zero-shot classification, retrieval and image captioning. However, their successes highly rely on the scale and quality of web-crawled data that naturally contain incomplete and noisy information (e.g., wrong or irrelevant content). Existing works either design manual rules to clean data or generate pseudo-targets as auxiliary signals for reducing noise impact, which do not explicitly tackle both the incorrect and incomplete challenges simultaneously. In this paper, to automatically mitigate the impact of noise by solely mining over existing data, we propose a principled Noise-robust Language-Image Pre-training framework (NLIP) to stabilize pre-training via two schemes: noise-harmonization and noise-completion. First, in noise-harmonization scheme, NLIP estimates the noise probability of each pair according to the memorization effect of cross-modal transformers, then adopts noise-adaptive regularization to harmonize the cross-modal alignments with varying degrees. Second, in noise-completion scheme, to enrich the missing object information of text, NLIP injects a concept-conditioned cross-modal decoder to obtain semantic-consistent synthetic captions to complete noisy ones, which uses the retrieved visual concepts (i.e., objects' names) for the corresponding image to guide captioning generation. By collaboratively optimizing noise-harmonization and noise-completion schemes, our NLIP can alleviate the common noise effects during image-text pre-training in a more efficient way. Extensive experiments show the significant performance improvements of our NLIP using only 26M data over existing pre-trained models (e.g., CLIP, FILIP and BLIP) on 12 zero-shot classification datasets, MSCOCO image captioning and zero-shot image-text retrieval tasks.

虽然标题模型已经获得了引人注目的结果，但在描述自然图像时，它们仍然不会涵盖现实世界概念的整个长尾分布。在本文中，我们通过在Web级自动收集的数据集上培训来解决与野外概念生成人类描述的任务。为此，我们提出了一种模型，该模型可以利用嘈杂的图像标题对，同时维持像Coco这样的传统人类注释数据集的描述性风格。我们的模型通过使用关键字和风格标记将内容从风格分开，使用单一目标是提示语言建模和比其他最近提出的更简单。在实验上，我们的模型在零拍摄设置中始终如一地占据了说明性质量和能力的现有方法。根据苹果酒公制，我们在使用外部数据时在Coco和Nocaps上获得新的最新状态。

Image captioning is one of the straightforward tasks that can take advantage of large-scale web-crawled data which provides rich knowledge about the visual world for a captioning model. However, since web-crawled data contains image-text pairs that are aligned at different levels, the inherent noises (e.g., misaligned pairs) make it difficult to learn a precise captioning model. While the filtering strategy can effectively remove noisy data, however, it leads to a decrease in learnable knowledge and sometimes brings about a new problem of data deficiency. To take the best of both worlds, we propose a noise-aware learning framework, which learns rich knowledge from the whole web-crawled data while being less affected by the noises. This is achieved by the proposed quality controllable model, which is learned using alignment levels of the image-text pairs as an additional control signal during training. The alignment-conditioned training allows the model to generate high-quality captions of well-aligned by simply setting the control signal to desired alignment level at inference time. Through in-depth analysis, we show that our controllable captioning model is effective in handling noise. In addition, with two tasks of zero-shot captioning and text-to-image retrieval using generated captions (i.e., self-retrieval), we also demonstrate our model can produce high-quality captions in terms of descriptiveness and distinctiveness.

在Web规模数据上预测的大型视觉和语言模型提供了对许多V＆L问题无价的表示。但是，目前尚不清楚如何将它们用于以非结构化语言为特定于用户特定的视觉概念。这个问题来自多个域，从个性化图像检索到与智能设备的个性化交互。我们介绍了一个新的学习设置，称为个性化视觉和语言（PERVL），并使用两个新的基准数据集来检索和细分用户特定的“个性化”概念“野外”。在PERVL中，应该独立于下游任务（2）允许经过审慎的模型以免费语言来推论它们，并且（3）不需要个性化的负面示例。我们提出了一个用于解决PERVL的体系结构，该体系结构通过扩展了一个预审计模型的输入词汇，并用新单词嵌入新的个性化概念。然后，模型可以通过简单地在句子中使用它们来推理它们。我们证明我们的方法从几个示例中学习了个性化的视觉概念，并且可以使用丰富的文本查询有效地将它们应用于图像检索和语义细分中。

Consider a scenario in one-shot query-guided object localization where neither an image of the object nor the object category name is available as a query. In such a scenario, a hand-drawn sketch of the object could be a choice for a query. However, hand-drawn crude sketches alone, when used as queries, might be ambiguous for object localization, e.g., a sketch of a laptop could be confused for a sofa. On the other hand, a linguistic definition of the category, e.g., a small portable computer small enough to use in your lap" along with the sketch query, gives better visual and semantic cues for object localization. In this work, we present a multimodal query-guided object localization approach under the challenging open-set setting. In particular, we use queries from two modalities, namely, hand-drawn sketch and description of the object (also known as gloss), to perform object localization. Multimodal query-guided object localization is a challenging task, especially when a large domain gap exists between the queries and the natural images, as well as due to the challenge of combining the complementary and minimal information present across the queries. For example, hand-drawn crude sketches contain abstract shape information of an object, while the text descriptions often capture partial semantic information about a given object category. To address the aforementioned challenges, we present a novel cross-modal attention scheme that guides the region proposal network to generate object proposals relevant to the input queries and a novel orthogonal projection-based proposal scoring technique that scores each proposal with respect to the queries, thereby yielding the final localization results. ...

图像文本匹配（ITM）是评估视觉和语言（VL）模型的常见任务。但是，现有的ITM基准有一个重大限制。他们有许多缺失的信件，源自数据构建过程本身。例如，标题仅与一个图像匹配，尽管标题可以与其他类似图像匹配，反之亦然。为了纠正大规模的虚假负面因素，我们通过提供与机器和人类注释者的缺失关联来构建扩展的可可验证（ECCV）标题数据集。我们在注释过程中采用五个具有不同属性的最先进的ITM模型。与原始的MS-Coco相比，我们的数据集提供了X3.6的X3.6积极图像到支撑关联和X8.5字幕到图像关联。我们还建议使用基于等级的公制映射@r，而不是流行的召回@k（r@k）。我们在现有和拟议的基准测试中重新评估了现有的25个VL模型。我们的发现是现有的基准测试，例如可可1K r@k，可可5k r@k，cxc r@1彼此高度相关，而当我们转移到eccv map@r时，排名会改变。最后，我们深入研究机器注释者选择引入的偏差的效果。源代码和数据集可从https://github.com/naver-ai/eccv-caption获得

我们介绍了自回归文本到图像（Parti）模型的途径，该模型生成高保真的影像图像并支持涉及复杂组成和世界知识的内容丰富的合成。 Parti将文本对图像生成视为类似于机器翻译的序列到序列建模问题，图像令牌的序列是目标输出，而不是其他语言的文本令牌。这种策略自然可以利用大型语言模型的先前工作，通过扩展数据和模型尺寸，能力和性能的持续进展。我们的方法很简单：首先，Parti使用基于变压器的图像令牌VIT-VQGAN将图像编码为离散令牌的序列。其次，我们通过将编码器二次变压器模型缩放到20B参数来实现一致的质量改进，其新的最新零弹药FID得分为7.23，而MS-Coco的FIDED得分为3.22。我们对本地化叙述以及党的详细分析（P2），这是1600多个英语提示的新的整体基准，证明了Parti在各种类别和难度方面的有效性。我们还探索并突出了我们的模型的局限性，以定义和体现关注重点领域以进一步改进。有关高分辨率图像，请参见https://parti.research.google/。

图像字幕模型通常是根据人体注释的地面真实字幕训练的，该字幕可能会产生准确但通用的字幕。为了提高字幕模型的独特性，我们首先提出了一系列使用大规模视觉语言预训练模型剪辑来评估标题的独特性。然后，我们提出了一种简单有效的训练策略，该策略通过在相似图像组中进行比较来训练模型。我们对各种现有模型进行了广泛的实验，以证明我们的策略的广泛适用性以及基于公制的结果与人类评估的一致性。通过将最佳模型的性能与现有的最新模型进行比较，我们声称我们的模型实现了针对独特性目标的新最先进的。

最近的文本到图像匹配模型对大型图像和句子的大公司进行了对比学习。虽然这些模型可以提供用于匹配和随后的零拍任务的强大分数，但它们不能给出给定图像的标题。在这项工作中，我们重新利用这些模型来生成在推理时间的图像时生成描述性文本，而无需进一步的训练或调整步骤。这是通过将具有大语言模型的视觉语义模型组合，从两种网络级模型中的知识中获益。由受监督标题方法获得的标题的限制性较小。此外，作为零射击学习方法，它非常灵活，我们展示了执行图像算法的能力，其中输入可以是图像或文本，输出是句子。这使得新颖的高级视觉能力，例如比较两个图像或解决视觉类比测试。

素描是一种常用于创新过程的自然和有效的视觉通信介质。深度学习模型的最新发展急剧改善了理解和生成视觉内容的机器能力。令人兴奋的发展领域探讨了用于模拟人类草图的深度学习方法，开设创造性应用的机会。本章介绍了开发深受学习驱动的创造性支持工具的三个基本步骤，这些步骤消耗和生成草图：1）在草图和移动用户界面之间生成新配对数据集的数据收集工作; 2）基于草图的用户界面检索系统，适用于最先进的计算机视觉技术; 3）一个对话的草图系统，支持基于自然语言的草图/批判创作过程的新颖互动。在本章中，我们在深度学习和人机互动社区中进行了对相关的事先工作，详细记录了数据收集过程和系统的架构，目前提供了定性和定量结果，并绘制了几个未来研究的景观在这个令人兴奋的地区的方向。

我们在这项研究中的目标是研究一个更现实的环境，在这种环境中，我们可以为细粒度的产品类别进行弱监督的多模式实例级产品检索。我们首先贡献了product1m数据集，并定义了两个实际实例级检索任务，以实现价格比较和个性化建议的评估。对于两个实例级任务，如何准确地指出视觉语言数据中提到的产品目标并有效地降低了无关紧要的内容的影响非常具有挑战性。为了解决这个问题，我们利用训练一个更有效的跨模式与模型，该模型能够自适应地能够通过使用一个实体图，其节点和边缘分别表示实体和相似性，从而可以从多模式数据中合并来自多模式数据的关键概念信息。实体。具体而言，为实例级别的商品检索提出了一种新型的实体图增强的跨模式预处理（EGE-CMP）模型，该模型明确地将基于节点的基于节点的基于节点和子图的方式显式地注入实体知识。自我监管的混合流变压器可以减少不同对象内容之间的混淆，从而有效地指导网络专注于具有真实语义的实体。实验结果很好地验证了我们的EGE-CMP的功效和概括性，表现优于几个SOTA跨模式基线，例如夹子，Uniter和Capture。

Pre-trained representations are becoming crucial for many NLP and perception tasks. While representation learning in NLP has transitioned to training on raw text without human annotations, visual and vision-language representations still rely heavily on curated training datasets that are expensive or require expert knowledge. For vision applications, representations are mostly learned using datasets with explicit class labels such as Ima-geNet or OpenImages. For vision-language, popular datasets like Conceptual Captions, MSCOCO, or CLIP all involve a non-trivial data collection (and cleaning) process. This costly curation process limits the size of datasets and hence hinders the scaling of trained models. In this paper, we leverage a noisy dataset of over one billion image alt-text pairs, obtained without expensive filtering or post-processing steps in the Conceptual Captions dataset. A simple dual-encoder architecture learns to align visual and language representations of the image and text pairs using a contrastive loss. We show that the scale of our corpus can make up for its noise and leads to state-of-the-art representations even with such a simple learning scheme. Our visual representation achieves strong performance when transferred to classification tasks such as ImageNet and VTAB. The aligned visual and language representations enables zero-shot image classification and also set new state-of-the-art results on Flickr30K and MSCOCO image-text retrieval benchmarks, even when compared with more sophisticated crossattention models. The representations also enable cross-modality search with complex text and text + image queries.
