Auto-TLDR; Semi-supervised Video Object Segmentation using U-shape Convolution and ConvLSTM

Slides Poster Similar

Semi-supervised video object segmentation aims at segmenting the target of interest throughout a video sequence when only the annotated mask of the first frame is given. A feasible method for segmentation is to capture the spatial-temporal coherence between frames. However, it may suffer from mask drift when the spatial-temporal coherence is unreliable. To relieve this problem, we propose an encoder-decoder-recurrent model for semi-supervised video object segmentation. The model adopts a U-shape architecture that combines atrous convolution and ConvLSTM to establish the coherence in both the spatial and temporal domains. Furthermore, the weight ratio for each block is also reconstructed to make the model more suitable for the VOS task. We evaluate our method on two benchmarks, DAVIS-2017 and Youtube-VOS, where state-of-the-art segmentation accuracy with a real-time inference speed of 21.3 frames per second on a Tesla P100 is obtained.

Auto-TLDR; Integrating Historical States and Co-attention for Visual Dialog

Visual dialog is a typical multi-modal task which involves both vision and language. Nowadays, it faces two major difficulties. In this paper, we propose Integrating Historical States and Co-attention (HSCA) for visual dialog to solve them. It includes two main modules, Co-ATT and MATCH. Specifically, the main purpose of the Co-ATT module is to guide the image with questions and answers in the early stage to get more specific objects. It tackles the temporal sequence issue in historical information which may influence the precise answer for multi-round questions. The MATCH module is, based on a question with pronouns, to retrieve the best matching historical information block. It overcomes the visual reference problem which requires to solve pronouns referring to unknowns in the text message and then to locate the objects in the given image. We quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate our model on VisDial v1.0, at the same time, ablation studies are carried out. The experimental results demonstrate that HSCA outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in many aspects.
