Abstract

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 information and suffer from limited generalization. Here, we investigate the role of object relations in VOG and propose a novel framework VOGNet to encode multi-modal object relations via self-attention with relative position encoding. To evaluate VOGNet, we propose novel contrasting sampling methods to generate more challenging grounding input samples, and construct a new dataset called ActivityNet-SRL (ASRL) based on existing caption and grounding datasets. Experiments on ASRL validate the need of encoding object relations in VOG, and our VOGNet outperforms competitive baselines by a significant margin.

  • A large amount of image-language pretraining Transformer models are pretrained on large-scale image-text pairs.

    “For instance, large amount of imagelanguage pretraining Transformer models are pretrained on large-scale image-text pairs, e.g., VisualBERT [104], VL-BERT [105], ViLBERT [102], LXMERT [103], UNITER [106].”

  • Common early fusion based MML Transformer models are also known as one-stream architecture, allowing adoption of the merits of BERT due to minimal architectural modification.

  • An intuitive strategy for MML is to leverage semantic parts (e.g., objects) pre-extracted by an off-the-shelf detector.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
