Incremental Scene Synthesis
Benjamin Planche, Xuejian Rong, Ziyan Wu, Srikrishna Karanam, Harald Kosch, Yingli Tian, and Jan Ernst
arXiv preprint arXiv:1811.12297, Under Review
To incrementally generates complete and consistent 2D or 3D scenes with learned scene priors, while real observations of an actual scene can be incorporated, and unobserved parts of the scene can be hallucinated.
Applications include autonomous agent exploration and few-shot learning.

Unambiguous Text Localization and Retrieval for Cluttered Scenes
Xuejian Rong, Chucai Yi, Yingli Tian
IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2017   (Spotlight)
code / dataset
To utilize text instances for understanding natural scenes,
we have proposed a framework that combines image-based
text localization with language-based context description
for text instances.
Specifically, we explore the task of unambiguous text localization and retrieval, to accurately localize a specific targeted text instance in a cluttered image given a natural language description that refers to it.
