Objects are the secret key to revealing the world between vision and language
| Chunyuan Li, Lei Zhang, and Jianfeng Gao
Humans perceive the world through many channels, such as images viewed by the eyes or voices heard by the ears. Though any individual channel might be incomplete or noisy, humans can naturally align and fuse the information collected from multiple…
A deep generative model trifecta: Three advances that work towards harnessing large-scale power
| Chunyuan Li and Jianfeng Gao
One of the core aspirations in artificial intelligence is to develop algorithms and techniques that endow computers with an ability to synthesize the observed data in our world. Every time researchers build a model to imitate this ability, this model…

Towards universal language embeddings
| Jianfeng Gao
Language embedding is a process of mapping symbolic natural language text (for example, words, phrases and sentences) to semantic vector representations. This is fundamental to deep learning approaches to natural language understanding (NLU). It is highly desirable to learn language…
