Exploring Discrete Diffusion Models for Image Captioning
Zixin Zhu, Yixuan Wei, Jianfeng Wang +7
The image captioning task is typically realized by an auto-regressive method that decodes the text tokens one by one. We present a diffusion-based captioning model, dubbed the name…
GRiT: A Generative Region-to-text Transformer for Object Understanding
Jialian Wu, Jianfeng Wang, Zhengyuan Yang +4
This paper presents a Generative RegIon-to-Text transformer, GRiT, for object understanding. The spirit of GRiT is to formulate object understanding as <region, text> pairs, where…
ReCo: Region-Controlled Text-to-Image Generation
Zhengyuan Yang, Jianfeng Wang, Zhe Gan +8
Recently, large-scale text-to-image (T2I) models have shown impressive performance in generating high-fidelity images, but with limited controllability, e.g., precisely specifying…
Non-Contrastive Learning Meets Language-Image Pre-Training
Jinghao Zhou, Li Dong, Zhe Gan +2
Contrastive language-image pre-training (CLIP) serves as a de-facto standard to align images and texts. Nonetheless, the loose correlation between images and texts of web-crawled d…
Vision-Language Pre-training: Basics, Recent Advances, and Future Trends
Zhe Gan, Linjie Li, Chunyuan Li +3
This paper surveys vision-language pre-training (VLP) methods for multimodal intelligence that have been developed in the last few years. We group these approaches into three categ…
Simpler, Faster, Stronger: Breaking The log-K Curse On Contrastive Learners With FlatNCE
Junya Chen, Zhe Gan, Xuan Li +10
InfoNCE-based contrastive representation learners, such as SimCLR, have been tremendously successful in recent years. However, these contrastive schemes are notoriously resource de…
