Zero-shot image captioning (IC) without well-paired image-text data can be divided into two categories, training-free and text-only-training. Generally, these two types of methods realize zero-shot IC by integrating pretrained…
Existing video captioning methods struggle to balance visual fidelity and redundancy: holistic captions are compact but lose fine-grained evidence, whereas segment-wise captions improve coverage but introduce heavy redundancy. We propose…
3D dense captioning requires a model to translate its understanding of an input 3D scene into several captions associated with different object regions. Existing methods adopt a sophisticated "detect-then-describe" pipeline, which builds…
