The Image Captioning (IC) technique is widely used to describe images in natural language. Recently, some IC system testing methods have been proposed. However, these methods still rely on pre-annotated information and hence cannot really…
Change captioning is to describe the semantic change between a pair of similar images in natural language. It is more challenging than general image captioning, because it requires capturing fine-grained change information while being…
Visual recognition in a low-data regime is challenging and often prone to overfitting. To mitigate this issue, several data augmentation strategies have been proposed. However, standard transformations, e.g., rotation, cropping, and…
