Language-guided visual retrieval by He, Su

“…In this thesis we study two popular sub-tasks of LGVR, one is Visual Grounding (VG) which aims to locate an object in the image, and the other is Natural Language Video Localization (NLVL) which aims to locate a targeted video clip from a long video span. For VG, we propose a novel modular network learning to match both the object’s symbolic feature and visual feature extracted by CNN with the linguistic information to achieve a better cross-modality alignment. …”
