Geometry Attention Transformer with Position-aware LSTMs for Image Captioning

In recent years, transformer structures have been widely applied in image captioning with impressive performance. For good captioning results, the geometry and position relations of different visual objects are often thought of as crucial information. Aiming to further promote image captioning by transformers, this paper proposes an improved Geometry Attention Transformer (GAT) model. In order to further leverage geometric information, two novel geometry-aware architectures are designed respectively for the encoder and decoder in our GAT. Besides, this model includes the two work modules: 1) a geometry gate-controlled self-attention refiner, for explicitly incorporating relative spatial information into image region representations in encoding steps, and 2) a group of position-LSTMs, for precisely informing the decoder of relative word position in generating caption texts. The experiment comparisons on the datasets MS COCO and Flickr30K show that our GAT is efficient, and it could often outperform current state-of-the-art image captioning models.

Multi-view Subspace Clustering via Partition Fusion

Multi-view clustering is an important approach to analyze multi-view data in an unsupervised way. Among various methods, the multi-view subspace clustering approach has gained increasing attention due to its encouraging performance. Basically, it integrates multi-view information into graphs, which are then fed into spectral clustering algorithm for final result. However, its performance may degrade due to noises existing in each individual view or inconsistency between heterogeneous features. Orthogonal to current work, we propose to fuse multi-view information in a partition space, which enhances the robustness of Multi-view clustering. Specifically, we generate multiple partitions and integrate them to find the shared partition. The proposed model unifies graph learning, generation of basic partitions, and view weight learning. These three components co-evolve towards better quality outputs. We have conducted comprehensive experiments on benchmark datasets and our empirical results verify the effectiveness and robustness of our approach.
