The challenge of object categorization in images is largely due to arbitrary translations and scales of the foreground objects. To attack this difficulty, we propose a new approach called collaborative receptive field learning to extract…
Open-vocabulary video visual relationship detection aims to detect objects and their relationships in videos without being restricted by predefined object or relationship categories. Existing methods leverage the rich semantic knowledge of…
Digital interaction with everyday objects has become popular since the proliferation of camera-based systems that detect and augment objects "just-in-time". Common systems use a vision-based approach to detect objects and display their…
Visual object tracking is an important task in computer vision, which has many real-world applications, e.g., video surveillance, visual navigation. Visual object tracking also has many challenges, e.g., object occlusion and deformation. To…
Egocentric vision is an emerging field of computer vision that is characterized by the acquisition of images and video from the first person perspective. In this paper we address the challenge of egocentric human action recognition by…
Most of computer vision focuses on what is in an image. We propose to train a standalone object-centric context representation to perform the opposite task: seeing what is not there. Given an image, our context model can predict where…
In order to answer semantically-complicated questions about an image, a Visual Question Answering (VQA) model needs to fully understand the visual scene in the image, especially the interactive dynamics between different objects. We propose…

In this work, we study the challenging problem of identifying the irregular status of objects from images in an "open world" setting, that is, distinguishing the irregular status of an object category from its regular status as well as…
Video activity recognition by deep neural networks is impressive for many classes. However, it falls short of human performance, especially for challenging to discriminate activities. Humans differentiate these complex activities by…
Recognizing the identities of people in everyday photos is still a very challenging problem for machine vision, due to non-frontal faces, changes in clothing, location, lighting and similar. Recent studies have shown that rich relational…
