We introduce an inference technique to produce discriminative context-aware image captions (captions that describe differences between images or visual concepts) using only generic context-agnostic training data (captions that describe a…
As an important component of multimedia analysis tasks, audio classification aims to discriminate between different audio signal types and has received intensive attention due to its wide applications. Generally speaking, the raw signal can…
Distinctive Image Captioning (DIC) -- generating distinctive captions that describe the unique details of a target image -- has received considerable attention over the last few years. A recent DIC work proposes to generate distinctive…
