Multimodal intent recognition (MIR) aims to perceive the human intent polarity via language visual and acoustic modalities. The inherent intent ambiguity makes it challenging to recognize in multimodal scenarios. Existing MIR methods tend to model the individual video independently ignoring global contextual information across videos. This learning manner inevitably introduces perception biases exacerbated by the inconsistencies of the multimodal representation amplifying the intent uncertainty. This challenge motivates us to explore effective global context modeling. Thus we propose a context-augmented global contrast (CAGC) method to capture rich global context features by mining both intra-and cross-video context interactions for MIR. Concretely we design a context-augmented transformer module to extract global context dependencies across videos. To further alleviate error accumulation and interference we develop a cross-video bank that retrieves effective video sources by considering both intentional tendency and video similarity. Furthermore we introduce a global context-guided contrastive learning scheme designed to mitigate inconsistencies arising from global context and individual modalities in different feature spaces. This scheme incorporates global cues as the supervision to capture robust the multimodal intent representation. Experiments demonstrate CAGC obtains superior performance than state-of-the-art MIR methods. We also generalize our approach to a closely related task multimodal sentiment analysis achieving the comparable performance.

Composed video retrieval (CoVR) is a challenging prob- lem in computer vision which has recently highlighted the in- tegration of modification text with visual queries for more so- phisticated video search in large databases. Existing works predominantly rely on visual queries combined with modi- fication text to distinguish relevant videos. However such a strategy struggles to fully preserve the rich query-specific context in retrieved target videos and only represents the target video using visual embedding. We introduce a novel CoVR framework that leverages detailed language descrip- tions to explicitly encode query-specific contextual informa- tion and learns discriminative embeddings of vision only text only and vision-text for better alignment to accurately retrieve matched target videos. Our proposed framework can be flexibly employed for both composed video (CoVR) and image (CoIR) retrieval tasks. Experiments on three datasets show that our approach obtains state-of-the-art per- formance for both CovR and zero-shot CoIR tasks achiev- ing gains as high as around 7% in terms of recall@K=1 score. Our code detailed language descriptions for WebViD- CoVR dataset are available at https://github.com/ OmkarThawakar/composed-video-retrieval.

The rapidly growing scale of data in practice poses demands on the efficiency of retrieval models. However for fine-grained image retrieval task there are inherent contradictions in the design of hashing based efficient models. Firstly the limited information embedding capacity of low-dimensional binary hash codes coupled with the detailed information required to describe fine-grained categories results in a contradiction in feature learning. Secondly there is also a contradiction between the complexity of fine-grained feature extraction models and retrieval efficiency. To address these issues in this paper we propose the characteristics matching based hash codes generation method. Coupled with the cross-layer semantic information transfer module and the multi-region feature embedding module the proposed method can generate hash codes that effectively capture fine-grained differences among samples while ensuring efficient inference. Extensive experiments on widely used datasets demonstrate that our method can significantly outperform state-of-the-art methods.

While Multi-modal Language Models (MLMs) demon strate impressive multimodal ability they still struggle on providing factual and precise responses for tasks like vi sual question answering (VQA). In this paper we address this challenge from the perspective of contextual informa tion. We propose Causal Context Generation Causal-CoG which is a prompting strategy that engages contextual infor mation to enhance precise VQA during inference. Specifi cally we prompt MLMs to generate contexts i.e text de scription of an image and engage the generated contexts for question answering. Moreover we investigate the ad vantage of contexts on VQA from a causality perspective introducing causality filtering to select samples for which contextual information is helpful. To show the effective ness of Causal-CoG we run extensive experiments on 10 multimodal benchmarks and showconsistent improvements e.g. +6.30% on POPE +13.69% on Vizwiz and +6.43% on VQAv2 compared to direct decoding surpassing exist ing methods. We hope Casual-CoG inspires explorations of context knowledge in multimodal models and serves as a plug-and-play strategy for MLM decoding.

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is emerging as a flexible and robust technique to adapt models to private users data without training to handle credit attribution and to allow efficient machine unlearning at scale. However RAG techniques for image generation may lead to parts of the retrieved samples being copied in the model's output. To reduce risks of leaking private information contained in the retrieved set we introduce Copy-Protected generation with Retrieval (CPR) a new method for RAG with strong copyright protection guarantees in a mixed-private setting for diffusion models. CPR allows to condition the output of diffusion models on a set of retrieved images while also guaranteeing that unique identifiable information about those example is not exposed in the generated outputs. In particular it does so by sampling from a mixture of public (safe) distribution and private (user) distribution by merging their diffusion scores at inference. We prove that CPR satisfies Near Access Freeness (NAF) which bounds the amount of information an attacker may be able to extract from the generated images. We provide two algorithms for copyright protection CPR-KL and CPR-Choose. Unlike previously proposed rejection-sampling-based NAF methods our methods enable efficient copyright-protected sampling with a single run of backward diffusion. We show that our method can be applied to any pre-trained conditional diffusion model such as Stable Diffusion or unCLIP. In particular we empirically show that applying CPR on top of un- CLIP improves quality and text-to-image alignment of the generated results (81.4 to 83.17 on TIFA benchmark) while enabling credit attribution copy-right protection and deterministic constant time unlearning.

In various domains such as surveillance and smart retail pedestrian retrieval centering on person re-identification (Re-ID) plays a pivotal role. Existing Re-ID methodologies often overlook subtle internal attribute variations which are crucial for accurately identifying individuals with changing appearances. In response our paper introduces the Attribute-Guided Pedestrian Retrieval (AGPR) task focusing on integrating specified attributes with query images to refine retrieval results. Although there has been progress in attribute-driven image retrieval there remains a notable gap in effectively blending robust Re-ID models with intra-class attribute variations. To bridge this gap we present the Attribute-Guided Transformer-based Pedestrian Retrieval (ATPR) framework. ATPR adeptly merges global ID recognition with local attribute learning ensuring a cohesive linkage between the two. Furthermore to effectively handle the complexity of attribute interconnectivity ATPR organizes attributes into distinct groups and applies both inter-group correlation and intra-group decorrelation regularizations. Our extensive experiments on a newly established benchmark using the RAP dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of ATPR within the AGPR paradigm.

Editable 3D-aware generation which supports user-interacted editing has witnessed rapid development recently. However existing editable 3D GANs either fail to achieve high-accuracy local editing or suffer from huge computational costs. We propose AttriHuman-3D an editable 3D human generation model which address the aforementioned problems with attribute decomposition and indexing. The core idea of the proposed model is to generate all attributes (e.g. human body hair clothes and so on) in an overall attribute space with six feature planes which are then decomposed and manipulated with different attribute indexes. To precisely extract features of different attributes from the generated feature planes we propose a novel attribute indexing method as well as an orthogonal projection regularization to enhance the disentanglement. We also introduce a hyper-latent training strategy and an attribute-specific sampling strategy to avoid style entanglement and misleading punishment from the discriminator. Our method allows users to interactively edit selected attributes in the generated 3D human avatars while keeping others fixed. Both qualitative and quantitative experiments demonstrate that our model provides a strong disentanglement between different attributes allows fine-grained image editing and generates high-quality 3D human avatars.

Unsupervised fine-grained image hashing aims to learn compact binary hash codes in unsupervised settings addressing challenges posed by large-scale datasets and dependence on supervision. In this paper we first identify a granularity gap between generic and fine-grained datasets for unsupervised hashing methods highlighting the inadequacy of conventional self-supervised learning for fine-grained visual objects. To bridge this gap we propose the Asymmetric Augmented Self-Supervised Learning (A^2-SSL) method comprising three modules. The asymmetric augmented SSL module employs suitable augmentation strategies for positive/negative views preventing fine-grained category confusion inherent in conventional SSL. Part-oriented dense contrastive learning utilizes the Fisher Vector framework to capture and model fine-grained object parts enhancing unsupervised representations through part-level dense contrastive learning. Self-consistent hash code learning introduces a reconstruction task aligned with the self-consistency principle guiding the model to emphasize comprehensive features particularly fine-grained patterns. Experimental results on five benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of A^2-SSL over existing methods affirming its efficacy in unsupervised fine-grained image hashing.
