In this paper we propose a model to learn multimodal multilingual representations for matching images and sentences in different languages, with the aim of advancing multilingual versions of image search and image understanding. Our model…
Recent advances in language and vision push forward the research of captioning a single image to describing visual differences between image pairs. Suppose there are two images, I_1 and I_2, and the task is to generate a description W_{1,2}…
This paper introduces a large-scale multimodal and multilingual dataset that aims to facilitate research on grounding words to images in their contextual usage in language. The dataset consists of images selected to unambiguously illustrate…
We tackle the task of automatically discriminating between human and machine translations. As opposed to most previous work, we perform experiments in a multilingual setting, considering multiple languages and multilingual pretrained…
In computational psycholinguistics, various language models have been evaluated against human reading behavior (e.g., eye movement) to build human-like computational models. However, most previous efforts have focused almost exclusively on…
This short position paper provides a manually curated list of non-English image captioning datasets (as of May 2024). Through this list, we can observe the dearth of datasets in different languages: only 23 different languages are…
We compare the machine readability of pictograms found on Austrian and German traffic signs. To that end, we train classification models on synthetic data sets and evaluate their classification accuracy in a controlled setting. In…
We analyze two Natural Language Inference data sets with respect to their linguistic features. The goal is to identify those syntactic and semantic properties that are particularly hard to comprehend for a machine learning model. To this…
We describe our two new datasets with images described by humans. Both the datasets were collected using Amazon Mechanical Turk, a crowdsourcing platform. The two datasets contain significantly more descriptions per image than other…
Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used to make visual content accessible via text-based descriptions. In current systems, however, description specificity is often conflated with their length. We argue that these two concepts…
One of the latest applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to generate images from natural language descriptions. These generators are now becoming available and achieve impressive results that have been used for example in the front…
Interactive machine learning (IML) allows users to build their custom machine learning models without expert knowledge. While most existing IML systems are designed with classification algorithms, they sometimes oversimplify the…
Image captioning, a.k.a. "image-to-text," which generates descriptive text from given images, has been rapidly developing throughout the era of deep learning. To what extent is the information in the original image preserved in the…
The cross-depiction problem is that of recognising visual objects regardless of whether they are photographed, painted, drawn, etc. It is a potentially significant yet under-researched problem. Emulating the remarkable human ability to…
Research in question answering datasets and models has gained a lot of attention in the research community. Many of them release their own question answering datasets as well as the models. There is tremendous progress that we have seen in…
Massive web-crawled image-text datasets lay the foundation for recent progress in multimodal learning. These datasets are designed with the goal of training a model to do well on standard computer vision benchmarks, many of which, however,…
Cross-lingual representation learning is an important step in making NLP scale to all the world's languages. Recent work on bilingual lexicon induction suggests that it is possible to learn cross-lingual representations of words based on…
Recent studies have demonstrated how to assess the stereotypical bias in pre-trained English language models. In this work, we extend this branch of research in multiple different dimensions by systematically investigating (a) mono- and…
Machine translation between many languages at once is highly challenging, since training with ground truth requires supervision between all language pairs, which is difficult to obtain. Our key insight is that, while languages may vary…
Advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP) have revolutionized the way researchers and practitioners address crucial societal problems. Large language models are now the standard to develop state-of-the-art solutions for text detection…
