Within this, an evidence-based measure of an algorithm’s capacity to reason is also proposed that requires the VQA model to provide a bounding box of the predicted answer.

To facilitate a new text detection research, we introduce the Total-Text dataset that consists of 1555 images with more than 3 different text orientations, one of a kind. Extension of ICDAR 2017 (Oral, acceptance rate: 52/409 ~ 12.7%).

This paper introduces a compact image captioning model, and shows competitive results on MS-COCO and InstaPIC-1.1M datasets despite having an embedding vocabularly size that is 39x-99x smaller.

This work aims at shifting the focus of low-light enhancement research towards a more functional direction, that is enhancement that prioritizes feature retrieval. For this reasonm, this paper modeled low-light image enhancement as a distribution of localized enhancement functions using Gaussian Process trained at runtime with reference data generated from a CNN. Also, two new evaluation metrics - local features matching and intensity histogram similarity are also proposed.

This paper proposes for the first time a phrase-based hierarchical Long Short-Term Memory (phi-LSTM) model to generate image description. It encodes sentence as a sequence of combination of phrases and words, instead of a sequence of words alone as in classical solutions. Extension of ACCV 2016: phi-LSTM (acceptance rate: 143/590 ~ 24.2%).

ArtGAN: A series of new approaches to improve Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) for conditional image synthesis.

Extension of ICIP 2017: ArtGAN.
