Visual-Semantic Embedding (VSE) networks can help search engines better understand the meaning behind visual content and associate it with relevant textual information, leading to more accurate search results. VSE networks can be used in…
The use of local detectors and descriptors in typical computer vision pipelines work well until variations in viewpoint and appearance change become extreme. Past research in this area has typically focused on one of two approaches to this…
What is a good visual representation for autonomous agents? We address this question in the context of semantic visual navigation, which is the problem of a robot finding its way through a complex environment to a target object, e.g. go to…
Multimodal embedding is a crucial research topic for cross-modal understanding, data mining, and translation. Many studies have attempted to extract representations from given entities and align them in a shared embedding space. However,…
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) highly depends on a good semantic embedding to connect the seen and unseen classes. Recently, distributed word embeddings (DWE) pre-trained from large text corpus have become a popular choice to draw such a…
