Automatically generating descriptive captions for images is a well-researched area in computer vision. However, existing evaluation approaches focus on measuring the similarity between two sentences disregarding fine-grained semantics of…
Diffusion models have emerged as the de facto paradigm for video generation. However, their reliance on web-scale data of varied quality often yields results that are visually unappealing and misaligned with the textual prompts. To tackle…
Highlight detection models are typically trained to identify cues that make visual content appealing or interesting for the general public, with the objective of reducing a video to such moments. However, the "interestingness" of a video…
Most reward models for visual generation reduce rich human judgments to a single unexplained score, discarding the reasoning that underlies preference. We show that teaching reward models to produce explicit, multi-dimensional critiques…
Interactive documents help readers engage with complex ideas through dynamic visualization, interactive animations, and exploratory interfaces. However, creating such documents remains costly, as it requires both domain expertise and web…
Skilled human interviewers can extract valuable information from experts. This raises a fundamental question: what makes some questions more effective than others? To address this, a quantitative evaluation of question-generation models is…
Automatic article commenting is helpful in encouraging user engagement and interaction on online news platforms. However, the news documents are usually too long for traditional encoder-decoder based models, which often results in general…
Incorporating human feedback has been shown to be crucial to align text generated by large language models to human preferences. We hypothesize that state-of-the-art instructional image editing models, where outputs are generated based on…
The scope of a lucrative career promoted by Google through its video distribution platform YouTube has attracted a large number of users to become content creators. An important aspect of this line of work is the feedback received in the…
This paper reports our solution for ACM Multimedia ViCo 2022 Conversational Head Generation Challenge, which aims to generate vivid face-to-face conversation videos based on audio and reference images. Our solution focuses on training a…
Bridging robot action sequences and their natural language captions is an important task to increase explainability of human assisting robots in their recently evolving field. In this paper, we propose a system for generating natural…
The Internet has significantly affected the increase of social media users. Nowadays, informative content is presented along with entertainment on the web. Highlighting environmental issues on social networks is crucial, given their…
An important aspect of human conversation difficult for machines is conversing with empathy, which is to understand the user's emotion and respond appropriately. Recent neural conversation models that attempted to generate empathetic…
Social comparison$\unicode{x2014}$the process of evaluating one's rewards relative to others$\unicode{x2014}$is an essential feature of social emotions such as envy and plays a fundamental role in primate social cognition. However, it…
Automatically generating stories is a challenging problem that requires producing causally related and logical sequences of events about a topic. Previous approaches in this domain have focused largely on one-shot generation, where a…
We propose EnDex, the first human-reaction based model to evaluate dialogue engagingness. EnDex is trained on 80k Reddit-based Engagement Dataset (RED) curated using a novel distant-supervision framework. Engagingness is a key measure that…
Video captioning, the task of describing the content of a video, has seen some promising improvements in recent years with sequence-to-sequence models, but accurately learning the temporal and logical dynamics involved in the task still…
Context: Open source software development has become more social and collaborative, especially with the rise of social coding platforms like GitHub. Since 2016, GitHub started to support more informal methods such as emoji reactions, with…
Audience feedback is crucial for refining video content, yet it typically comes after publication, limiting creators' ability to make timely adjustments. To bridge this gap, we introduce SimTube, a generative AI system designed to simulate…
The task of video captioning, that is, the automatic generation of sentences describing a sequence of actions in a video, has attracted an increasing attention recently. The complex and high-dimensional representation of video data makes it…
