Classroom AI is rapidly expanding from low-level perception toward higher-level judgments about engagement, confusion, collaboration, and instructional quality. Yet classrooms are among the hardest real-world settings for multimodal vision:…
Generalized Referring expressions can describe one object, several related objects, or none at all. Existing generalized referring segmentation (GRES) models treat all cases alike, predicting a single binary mask and ignoring how linguistic…
Exploiting visual groundings for language understanding has recently been drawing much attention. In this work, we study visually grounded grammar induction and learn a constituency parser from both unlabeled text and its visual groundings.…
Referenceless metrics (e.g., CLIPScore) use pretrained vision--language models to assess image descriptions directly without costly ground-truth reference texts. Such methods can facilitate rapid progress, but only if they truly align with…
