Customized Visual Storytelling with Unified Multimodal LLMs
Wei-Hua Li, Cheng Sun, Chu-Song Chen
Multimodal story customization aims to generate coherent story flows conditioned on textual descriptions, reference identity images, and shot types. While recent progress in story…
MotiF: Making Text Count in Image Animation with Motion Focal Loss
Shijie Wang, Samaneh Azadi, Rohit Girdhar +3
Text-Image-to-Video (TI2V) generation aims to generate a video from an image following a text description, which is also referred to as text-guided image animation. Most existing m…
Pre-trained Vision-Language Models Learn Discoverable Visual Concepts
Yuan Zang, Tian Yun, Hao Tan +2
Do vision-language models (VLMs) pre-trained to caption an image of a "durian" learn visual concepts such as "brown" (color) and "spiky" (texture) at the same time? We aim to answe…
Do Pre-trained Vision-Language Models Encode Object States?
Kaleb Newman, Shijie Wang, Yuan Zang +2
For a vision-language model (VLM) to understand the physical world, such as cause and effect, a first step is to capture the temporal dynamics of the visual world, for example how…
Learning Visual Grounding from Generative Vision and Language Model
Shijie Wang, Dahun Kim, Ali Taalimi +2
Visual grounding tasks aim to localize image regions based on natural language references. In this work, we explore whether generative VLMs predominantly trained on image-text data…
Vamos: Versatile Action Models for Video Understanding
Shijie Wang, Qi Zhao, Minh Quan Do +3
What makes good representations for video understanding, such as anticipating future activities, or answering video-conditioned questions? While earlier approaches focus on end-to-…
