Data augmentation is a necessity to enhance data efficiency in deep learning. For vision-language pre-training, data is only augmented either for images or for text in previous works. In this paper, we present MixGen: a joint data augmentation for vision-language representation learning to further improve data efficiency. It generates new imagetext pairs with semantic relationships preserved by interpolating

2023Semantic matching is an important component of a product search pipeline. Its goal is to capture the semantic intent of the search query as opposed to the syntactic matching performed by a lexical matching system. A semantic matching model captures relationships like synonyms, and also captures common behavioral patterns to retrieve relevant results by generalizing from purchase data. Semantic matching

Conversational agents like chat bots and voice assistants are trained to understand and respond to user intents. On encountering an utterance with an intent different from the ones they have been trained on, these agents are expected to classify the intent as “unknown” or “out of domain”. This problem is known as out of domain (OOD) intent detection. Podolskiy et al. (2021), showed that Mahalanobis distance

Video quality assessment (VQA) has sparked a lot of interest in the computer vision community, as it plays a critical role in services that provide customers with high quality video content. Due to the lack of high quality reference videos and the difficulties in collecting subjective evaluations, assessing video quality is a challenging and still unsolved problem. Moreover, most of the public research
