Demonstrating and Reducing Shortcuts in Vision-Language Representation Learning

Maurits Bleeker, Mariya Hendriksen, Andrew Yates +1

Vision-language models (VLMs) mainly rely on contrastive training to learn general-purpose representations of images and captions. We focus on the situation when one image is assoc…

A Song of (Dis)agreement: Evaluating the Evaluation of Explainable Artificial Intelligence in Natural Language Processing

Michael Neely, Stefan F. Schouten, Maurits Bleeker +1

There has been significant debate in the NLP community about whether or not attention weights can be used as an explanation - a mechanism for interpreting how important each input…

Reducing Predictive Feature Suppression in Resource-Constrained Contrastive Image-Caption Retrieval

Maurits Bleeker, Andrew Yates, Maarten de Rijke

To train image-caption retrieval (ICR) methods, contrastive loss functions are a common choice for optimization functions. Unfortunately, contrastive ICR methods are vulnerable to…

Do Lessons from Metric Learning Generalize to Image-Caption Retrieval?

Maurits Bleeker, Maarten de Rijke

The triplet loss with semi-hard negatives has become the de facto choice for image-caption retrieval (ICR) methods that are optimized from scratch. Recent progress in metric learni…

Extending CLIP for Category-to-image Retrieval in E-commerce

Mariya Hendriksen, Maurits Bleeker, Svitlana Vakulenko +3

E-commerce provides rich multimodal data that is barely leveraged in practice. One aspect of this data is a category tree that is being used in search and recommendation. However,…

Reproducibility as a Mechanism for Teaching Fairness, Accountability, Confidentiality, and Transparency in Artificial Intelligence

Ana Lucic, Maurits Bleeker, Sami Jullien +2

In this work, we explain the setup for a technical, graduate-level course on Fairness, Accountability, Confidentiality, and Transparency in Artificial Intelligence (FACT-AI) at the…

Order in the Court: Explainable AI Methods Prone to Disagreement

Michael Neely, Stefan F. Schouten, Maurits J. R. Bleeker +1

By computing the rank correlation between attention weights and feature-additive explanation methods, previous analyses either invalidate or support the role of attention-based exp…

Conditional Image Generation and Manipulation for User-Specified Content

David Stap, Maurits Bleeker, Sarah Ibrahimi +1

In recent years, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have improved steadily towards generating increasingly impressive real-world images. It is useful to steer the image generat…

Bidirectional Scene Text Recognition with a Single Decoder

Maurits Bleeker, Maarten de Rijke

Scene Text Recognition (STR) is the problem of recognizing the correct word or character sequence in a cropped word image. To obtain more robust output sequences, the notion of bid…
