Image reconstruction from noisy sensor measurements is challenging and many methods have been proposed for it. Yet, most approaches focus on learning robust natural image priors while modeling the scene's noise statistics. In extremely…
Most current image captioning systems focus on describing general image content, and lack background knowledge to deeply understand the image, such as exact named entities or concrete events. In this work, we focus on the entity-aware news…
Training Large Multimodality Models (LMMs) relies on descriptive image caption that connects image and language. Existing methods for generating such captions often rely on distilling the captions from pretrained LMMs, constructing them…
Various methods have been proposed to detect objects while reducing the cost of data annotation. For instance, weakly supervised object detection (WSOD) methods rely only on image-level annotations during training. Unfortunately, data…
When describing images with natural language, the descriptions can be made more informative if tuned using downstream tasks. This is often achieved by training two networks: a "speaker network" that generates sentences given an image, and a…
The ability to integrate context, including perceptual and temporal cues, plays a pivotal role in grounding the meaning of a linguistic utterance. In order to measure to what extent current vision-and-language models master this ability, we…
Image captioning models tend to describe images in an object-centric way, emphasising visible objects. But image descriptions can also abstract away from objects and describe the type of scene depicted. In this paper, we explore the…
