Detecting visual relationships, i.e. triplets, is a challenging Scene Understanding task approached in the past via linguistic priors or spatial information in a single feature branch. We introduce a new deeply supervised two-branch architecture, the Multimodal Attentional Translation Embeddings, where the visual features of each branch are driven by a multimodal attentional mechanism that exploits spatio-linguistic similarities in a lowdimensional space. We present a variety of experiments comparing against all related approaches in the literature, as well as by reimplementing and fine-tuning several of them. Results on the commonly employed VRD dataset [1] show that the proposed method clearly outperforms all others, while we also justify our claims both quantitatively and qualitatively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
