Several multi-modality representation learning approaches such as LXMERT and ViLBERT have been proposed recently. Such approaches can achieve superior performance due to the high-level semantic information captured during large-scale multimodal pretraining. However, as ViLBERT and LXMERT adopt visual region regression and classification loss, they often suffer from domain gap and noisy label problems, based on the visual features having been pretrained on the Visual Genome dataset. To overcome these issues, we propose unbiased Contrastive Visual-Linguistic Pretraining (CVLP), which constructs a visual self-supervised loss built upon contrastive learning. We evaluate CVLP on several down-stream tasks, including VQA, GQA and NLVR2 to validate the superiority of contrastive learning on multi-modality representation learning. Our code is available at: https://github.com/ArcherYunDong/CVLP-.

Numerous recent works have proposed pretraining generic visio-linguistic representations and then finetuning them for downstream vision and language tasks. While architecture and objective function design choices have received attention, the choice o
f pretraining datasets has received little attention. In this work, we question some of the default choices made in literature. For instance, we systematically study how varying similarity between the pretraining dataset domain (textual and visual) and the downstream domain affects performance. Surprisingly, we show that automatically generated data in a domain closer to the downstream task (e.g., VQA v2) is a better choice for pretraining than natural data but of a slightly different domain (e.g., Conceptual Captions). On the other hand, some seemingly reasonable choices of pretraining datasets were found to be entirely ineffective for some downstream tasks. This suggests that despite the numerous recent efforts, vision & language pretraining does not quite work out of the box yet. Overall, as a by-product of our study, we find that simple design choices in pretraining can help us achieve close to state-of-art results on downstream tasks without any architectural changes.
GuessWhat?! is a two-player visual dialog guessing game where player A asks a sequence of yes/no questions (Questioner) and makes a final guess (Guesser) about a target object in an image, based on answers from player B (Oracle). Based on this dialog
history between the Questioner and the Oracle, a Guesser makes a final guess of the target object. Previous baseline Oracle model encodes no visual information in the model, and it cannot fully understand complex questions about color, shape, relationships and so on. Most existing work for Guesser encode the dialog history as a whole and train the Guesser models from scratch on the GuessWhat?! dataset. This is problematic since language encoder tend to forget long-term history and the GuessWhat?! data is sparse in terms of learning visual grounding of objects. Previous work for Questioner introduces state tracking mechanism into the model, but it is learned as a soft intermediates without any prior vision-linguistic insights. To bridge these gaps, in this paper we propose Vilbert-based Oracle, Guesser and Questioner, which are all built on top of pretrained vision-linguistic model, Vilbert. We introduce two-way background/target fusion mechanism into Vilbert-Oracle to account for both intra and inter-object questions. We propose a unified framework for Vilbert-Guesser and Vilbert-Questioner, where state-estimator is introduced to best utilize Vilberts power on single-turn referring expression comprehension. Experimental results show that our proposed models outperform state-of-the-art models significantly by 7%, 10%, 12% for Oracle, Guesser and End-to-End Questioner respectively.
Visual relationship detection aims to reason over relationships among salient objects in images, which has drawn increasing attention over the past few years. Inspired by human reasoning mechanisms, it is believed that external visual commonsense kno
wledge is beneficial for reasoning visual relationships of objects in images, which is however rarely considered in existing methods. In this paper, we propose a novel approach named Relational Visual-Linguistic Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (RVL-BERT), which performs relational reasoning with both visual and language commonsense knowledge learned via self-supervised pre-training with multimodal representations. RVL-BERT also uses an effective spatial module and a novel mask attention module to explicitly capture spatial information among the objects. Moreover, our model decouples object detection from visual relationship recognition by taking in object names directly, enabling it to be used on top of any object detection system. We show through quantitative and qualitative experiments that, with the transferred knowledge and novel modules, RVL-BERT achieves competitive results on two challenging visual relationship detection datasets.

In this paper we propose a fully-supervised pretraining scheme based on contrastive learning particularly tailored to dense classification tasks. The proposed Context-Self Contrastive Loss (CSCL) learns an embedding space that makes semantic boundari
es pop-up by use of a similarity metric between every location in an training sample and its local context. For crop type semantic segmentation from satellite images we find performance at parcel boundaries to be a critical bottleneck and explain how CSCL tackles the underlying cause of that problem, improving the state-of-the-art performance in this task. Additionally, using images from the Sentinel-2 (S2) satellite missions we compile the largest, to our knowledge, dataset of satellite image timeseries densely annotated by crop type and parcel identities, which we make publicly available together with the data generation pipeline. Using that data we find CSCL, even with minimal pretraining, to improve all respective baselines and present a process for semantic segmentation at super-resolution for obtaining crop classes at a more granular level. The proposed method is further validated on the task of semantic segmentation on 2D and 3D volumetric images showing consistent performance improvements upon competitive baselines.
Image-level contrastive representation learning has proven to be highly effective as a generic model for transfer learning. Such generality for transfer learning, however, sacrifices specificity if we are interested in a certain downstream task. We a
rgue that this could be sub-optimal and thus advocate a design principle which encourages alignment between the self-supervised pretext task and the downstream task. In this paper, we follow this principle with a pretraining method specifically designed for the task of object detection. We attain alignment in the following three aspects: 1) object-level representations are introduced via selective search bounding boxes as object proposals; 2) the pretraining network architecture incorporates the same dedicated modules used in the detection pipeline (e.g. FPN); 3) the pretraining is equipped with object detection properties such as object-level translation invariance and scale invariance. Our method, called Selective Object COntrastive learning (SoCo), achieves state-of-the-art results for transfer performance on COCO detection using a Mask R-CNN framework. Code and models will be made available.
