We propose Localized Narratives, a new form of multimodal image annotations connecting vision and language. We ask annotators to describe an image with their voice while simultaneously hovering their mouse over the region they are describing. Since the voice and the mouse pointer are synchronized, we can localize every single word in the description. This dense visual grounding takes the form of a mouse trace segment per word and is unique to our data. We annotated 849k images with Localized Narratives: the whole COCO, Flickr30k, and ADE20K datasets, and 671k images of Open Images, all of which we make publicly available. We provide an extensive analysis of these annotations showing they are diverse, accurate, and efficient to produce. We also demonstrate their utility on the application of controlled image captioning.

PhotoChat, the first dataset that casts light on the photo sharing behavior in online messaging. PhotoChat contains 12k dialogues, each of which is paired with a user photo that is shared during the conversation. Based on this dataset, we propose two tasks to facilitate research on image-text modeling: a photo-sharing intent prediction task that predicts whether one intends to share a photo in the next conversation turn, and a photo retrieval task that retrieves the most relevant photo according to the dialogue context.

CIRCO (Composed Image Retrieval on Common Objects in context) is an open-domain benchmarking dataset for Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) based on real-world images from COCO 2017 unlabeled set. It is the first CIR dataset with multiple ground truths and aims to address the problem of false negatives in existing datasets. CIRCO comprises a total of 1020 queries, randomly divided into 220 and 800 for the validation and test set, respectively, with an average of 4.53 ground truths per query.

In this project, we formally present the task of Open-domain Visual Entity recognitioN (OVEN), where a model need to link an image onto a Wikipedia entity with respect to a text query. We construct OVEN-Wiki by re-purposing 14 existing datasets with all labels grounded onto one single label space: Wikipedia entities. OVEN challenges models to select among six million possible Wikipedia entities, making it a general visual recognition benchmark with the largest number of labels.

Given 10 minimally contrastive (highly similar) images and a complex description for one of them, the task is to retrieve the correct image. The source of most images are videos and descriptions as well as retrievals come from human.

A fundamental characteristic common to both human vision and natural language is their compositional nature. Yet, despite the performance gains contributed by large vision and language pretraining, we find that—across 7 architectures trained with 4 algorithms on massive datasets—they struggle at compositionality. To arrive at this conclusion, we introduce a new compositionality evaluation benchmark, CREPE, which measures two important aspects of compositionality identified by cognitive science literature: systematicity and productivity. To measure systematicity, CREPE consists of a test dataset containing over 370K image-text pairs and three different seen-unseen splits. The three splits are designed to test models trained on three popular training datasets: CC-12M, YFCC-15M, and LAION-400M. We also generate 325K, 316K, and 309K hard negative captions for a subset of the pairs. To test productivity, CREPE contains 17K image-text pairs with nine different complexities plus 183K hard neg

The appearance of the world varies dramatically not only from place to place but also from hour to hour and month to month. Every day billions of images capture this complex relationship, many of which are associated with precise time and location metadata. We propose to use these images to construct a global-scale, dynamic map of visual appearance attributes. Such a map enables fine-grained understanding of the expected appearance at any geographic location and time. Our approach integrates dense overhead imagery with location and time metadata into a general framework capable of mapping a wide variety of visual attributes. A key feature of our approach is that it requires no manual data annotation. We demonstrate how this approach can support various applications, including image-driven mapping, image geolocalization, and metadata verification.
Large Scale Composed Image Retrieval (LaSCo) is a new dataset for Composed Image Retrieval (CoIR), x10 times larger than current ones.
ConQA is a dataset created using the intersection between VisualGenome and MS-COCO. The goal of this dataset is to provide a new benchmark for text to image retrieval using short and less descriptive queries than the commonly use captions from MS-COCO or Flicker. ConQA consists of 80 queries divided into 50 conceptual and 30 descriptive queries. A descriptive query mentions some of the objects in the image, for instance, people chopping vegetables. While, a conceptual query does not mention objects or only refers to objects in a general context, e.g., working class life.

The standard evaluation protocol of Cross-View Time dataset allows for certain cameras to be shared between training and testing sets. This protocol can emulate scenarios in which we need to verify the authenticity of images from a particular set of devices and locations. Considering the ubiquity of surveillance systems (CCTV) nowadays, this is a common scenario, especially for big cities and high visibility events (e.g., protests, musical concerts, terrorist attempts, sports events). In such cases, we can leverage the availability of historical photographs of that device and collect additional images from previous days, months, and years. This would allow the model to better capture the particularities of how time influences the appearance of that specific place, probably leading to a better verification accuracy. However, there might be cases in which data is originated from heterogeneous sources, such as social media. In this sense, it is essential that models are optimized on camer

The image collection of the IAPR TC-12 Benchmark consists of 20,000 still natural images taken from locations around the world and comprising an assorted cross-section of still natural images. This includes pictures of different sports and actions, photographs of people, animals, cities, landscapes, and many other aspects of contemporary life. Each image is associated with a text caption in up to three different languages (English, German and Spanish).
The IAW dataset contains 420 Ikea furniture pieces from 14 common categories e.g. sofa, bed, wardrobe, table, etc. Each piece of furniture comes with one or more user instruction manuals, which are first divided into pages and then further divided into independent steps cropped from each page (some pages contain more than one step and some pages do not contain instructions). There are 8568 pages and 8263 steps overall, on average 20.4 pages and 19.7 steps for each piece of furniture. We crawled YouTube to find videos corresponding to these instruction manuals and as such the conditions in the videos are diverse on many aspects e.g. duration, resolution, first- or third-person view, camera pose, background environment, number of assemblers, etc. The IAW dataset contains 1005 raw videos with a length of around 183 hours in total. Among them, approximately 114 hours of content are labeled as 15649 actions to match the corresponding step in the corresponding manual.
