| Zusammenfassung: | Scene Graph Generation (SGG) aims to detect visual relationships in an image. However, due to long-tailed bias, SGG is far from practical. Most methods depend heavily on the assistance of statistics co-occurrence to generate a balanced dataset, so they are dataset-specific and easily affected by noises. The fundamental cause is that SGG is simplified as a classification task instead of a reasoning task, thus the ability capturing the fine-grained details is limited and the difficulty in handling ambiguity is increased. By imitating the way of dual process in cognitive psychology, a Visual-Textual Semantics Consistency Network (VTSCN) is proposed to model the SGG task as a reasoning process, and relieve the long-tailed bias significantly. In VTSCN, as the rapid autonomous process (Type1 process), we design a Hybrid Union Representation (HUR) module, which is divided into two steps for spatial awareness and working memories modeling. In addition, as the higher order reasoning process (Type2 process), a Global Textual Semantics Modeling (GTS) module is designed to individually model the textual contexts with the word embeddings of pairwise objects. As the final associative process of cognition, a Heterogeneous Semantics Consistency (HSC) module is designed to balance the type1 process and the type2 process. Lastly, our VTSCN raises a new way for SGG model design by fully considering human cognitive process. Experiments on Visual Genome, GQA and PSG datasets show our method is superior to state-of-the-art methods, and ablation studies validate the effectiveness of our VTSCN |
