This paper considers a video caption generating network referred to as Semantic Grouping Network (SGN) that attempts (1) to group video frames with discriminating word phrases of partially decoded caption and then (2) to decode those…
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…
One of the recent trends in vision problems is to use natural language captions to describe the objects of interest. This approach can overcome some limitations of traditional methods that rely on bounding boxes or category annotations.…
We address the problem of grounding free-form textual phrases by using weak supervision from image-caption pairs. We propose a novel end-to-end model that uses caption-to-image retrieval as a `downstream' task to guide the process of phrase…
Video paragraph captioning is the task of automatically generating a coherent paragraph description of the actions in a video. Previous linguistic studies have demonstrated that coherence of a natural language text is reflected by its…
The task of video grounding, which temporally localizes a natural language description in a video, plays an important role in understanding videos. Existing studies have adopted strategies of sliding window over the entire video or…
Although existing image caption models can produce promising results using recurrent neural networks (RNNs), it is difficult to guarantee that an object we care about is contained in generated descriptions, for example in the case that the…
We explore the task of Video Object Grounding (VOG), which grounds objects in videos referred to in natural language descriptions. Previous methods apply image grounding based algorithms to address VOG, fail to explore the object relation…
Visual captioning aims to generate textual descriptions given images or videos. Traditionally, image captioning models are trained on human annotated datasets such as Flickr30k and MS-COCO, which are limited in size and diversity. This…
Automated audio captioning is a cross-modal translation task for describing the content of audio clips with natural language sentences. This task has attracted increasing attention and substantial progress has been made in recent years.…
We introduce a variety of models, trained on a supervised image captioning corpus to predict the image features for a given caption, to perform sentence representation grounding. We train a grounded sentence encoder that achieves good…
In this paper, we aim to establish an automatic, scalable pipeline for denoising the large-scale instructional dataset and construct a high-quality video-text dataset with multiple descriptive steps supervision, named HowToStep. We make the…
Generating captions for images is a task that has recently received considerable attention. In this work we focus on caption generation for abstract scenes, or object layouts where the only information provided is a set of objects and their…
In this paper, we investigate a novel and challenging task, namely controllable video captioning with an exemplar sentence. Formally, given a video and a syntactically valid exemplar sentence, the task aims to generate one caption which not…
Traditional video captioning requests a holistic description of the video, yet the detailed descriptions of the specific objects may not be available. Without associating the moving trajectories, these image-based data-driven methods cannot…
Generating automatic dense captions for videos that accurately describe their contents remains a challenging area of research. Most current models require processing the entire video at once. Instead, we propose an efficient, online…
Detecting meaningful events in an untrimmed video is essential for dense video captioning. In this work, we propose a novel and simple model for event sequence generation and explore temporal relationships of the event sequence in the…
Video grounding aims to locate the timestamps best matching the query description within an untrimmed video. Prevalent methods can be divided into moment-level and clip-level frameworks. Moment-level approaches directly predict the…
A vast amount of audio-visual data is available on the Internet thanks to video streaming services, to which users upload their content. However, there are difficulties in exploiting available data for supervised statistical models due to…
Learning text-video embeddings usually requires a dataset of video clips with manually provided captions. However, such datasets are expensive and time consuming to create and therefore difficult to obtain on a large scale. In this work, we…
