Facial image retrieval plays a significant role in forensic investigations where an untrained witness tries to identify a suspect from a massive pool of images. However, due to the difficulties in describing human facial appearances…
In product search, users tend to browse results on multiple search result pages (SERPs) (e.g., for queries on clothing and shoes) before deciding which item to purchase. Users' clicks can be considered as implicit feedback which indicates…
Interleaving is an online evaluation approach for information retrieval systems that compares the effectiveness of ranking functions in interpreting the users' implicit feedback. Previous work such as Hofmann et al (2011) has evaluated the…
The traditional image captioning task uses generic reference captions to provide textual information about images. Different user populations, however, will care about different visual aspects of images. In this paper, we propose a new…
Image captioning models often suffer from performance degradation when applied to novel datasets, as they are typically trained on domain-specific data. To enhance generalization in out-of-domain scenarios, retrieval-augmented approaches…
Images account for a significant part of user decisions in many application scenarios, such as product images in e-commerce, or user image posts in social networks. It is intuitive that user preferences on the visual patterns of image…
Real-world applications could benefit from the ability to automatically retarget an image to different aspect ratios and resolutions, while preserving its visually and semantically important content. However, not all images can be equally…
Opportunistic photo capture (e.g., slides, exhibits, or artifacts) is a common strategy for preserving information encountered in information-rich environments for later revisitation. While fast and minimally disruptive, such photo…
Retrieving user-specified objects from complex scenes remains a challenging task, especially when queries are ambiguous or involve multiple similar objects. Existing open-vocabulary detectors operate in a one-shot manner, lacking the…
While infographics have become a powerful medium for communicating data-driven stories, authoring them from scratch remains challenging, especially for novice users. Retrieving relevant exemplars from a large corpus can provide design…
Can we infer intentions from a person's actions? As an example problem, here we consider how to decipher what a person is searching for by decoding their eye movement behavior. We conducted two psychophysics experiments where we monitored…
Contextual retrieval is a critical technique for today's search engines in terms of facilitating queries and returning relevant information. This paper reports on the development and evaluation of a system designed to tackle some of the…
We present SWIM (See What I Mean), a novel training strategy that aligns vision and language representations to enable fine-grained object understanding solely from textual prompts. Unlike existing approaches that require explicit visual…
Generating natural sentences from images is a fundamental learning task for visual-semantic understanding in multimedia. In this paper, we propose to apply dual attention on pyramid image feature maps to fully explore the visual-semantic…
Generative image models have emerged as a promising technology to produce realistic images. Despite potential benefits, concerns grow about its misuse, particularly in generating deceptive images that could raise significant ethical, legal,…
Visual attention, derived from cognitive neuroscience, facilitates human perception on the most pertinent subset of the sensory data. Recently, significant efforts have been made to exploit attention schemes to advance computer vision…
Today, intelligent user interfaces on the web often come in form of recommendation services tailoring content to individual users. Recommendation of web content such as news articles often requires a certain amount of explicit ratings to…
Image-text matching (ITM) is a fundamental problem in computer vision. The key issue lies in jointly learning the visual and textual representation to estimate their similarity accurately. Most existing methods focus on feature enhancement…
Searching is an important tool of information gathering, if information is in the form of picture than it play a major role to take quick action and easy to memorize. This is a human tendency to retain more picture than text. The complexity…
This paper presents PointSSIM, a novel low-dimensional image-to-image comparison metric that is resolution invariant. Drawing inspiration from the structural similarity index measure and mathematical morphology, PointSSIM enables robust…
