Generating unambiguous, natural and diverse referring expressions (2022)
Thesis
Panagiaris, N. Generating unambiguous, natural and diverse referring expressions. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University

Referring expression generation (REG) aims at generating natural language definite descriptions for objects within images called referring expressions (REs). Despite the substantial progress in recent years, REGmodels are still far frombeing perfect.... Read More about Generating unambiguous, natural and diverse referring expressions.

Improving the Naturalness and Diversity of Referring Expression Generation models using Minimum Risk Training (2020)

Panagiaris, N., Hart, E., & Gkatzia, D. (2020). Improving the Naturalness and Diversity of Referring Expression Generation models using Minimum Risk Training. In Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Natural Language Generation (41-51)

In this paper we consider the problem of optimizing neural Referring Expression Generation (REG) models with sequence level objectives. Recently reinforcement learning (RL) techniques have been adopted to train deep end-to-end systems to directly opt...

Neural Referring Expression Generation (REG) models have shown promising results in generating expressions which uniquely describe visual objects. However, current REG models still lack the ability to produce diverse and unambiguous referring express... Read More about Generating Unambiguous and Diverse Referring Expressions  .
