Translating information between text and image is a fundamental problem in artificial intelligence that connects natural language processing and computer vision. In the past few years, performance in image caption generation has seen…
Audio grounding, or speech-driven open-set object detection, aims to localize and identify objects directly from speech, enabling generalization beyond predefined categories. This task is crucial for applications like human-robot…
Existing methods for vision-and-language learning typically require designing task-specific architectures and objectives for each task. For example, a multi-label answer classifier for visual question answering, a region scorer for…
In-context image generation models such as FLUX.2 take a text prompt and an optional reference image as visual conditioning for the output. Internally, all three inputs -- text, reference image, and the noise tokens -- are concatenated and…
Grounding language in vision is an active field of research seeking to construct cognitively plausible word and sentence representations by incorporating perceptual knowledge from vision into text-based representations. Despite many…
