Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and non-transitory computer storage media for parsing a given input referring expression into a parse structure and generating a semantic computation graph to identify semantic relationships among and between objects. At a high level, when embodiments of the preset invention receive a referring expression, a parse tree is created and mapped into a hierarchical subject, predicate, object graph structure that labeled noun objects in the referring expression, the attributes of the labeled noun objects, and predicate relationships (e.g., verb actions or spatial propositions) between the labeled objects. Embodiments of the present invention then transform the subject, predicate, object graph structure into a semantic computation graph that may be recursively traversed and interpreted to determine how noun objects, their attributes and modifiers, and interrelationships are provided to downstream image editing, searching, or caption indexing tasks.

Methods and systems for generating a semantic computation graph for understanding and grounding referring expressions

This disclosure describes one or more implementations of systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that extract multiple attributes from an object portrayed in a digital image utilizing a multi-attribute contrastive classification neural network. For example, the disclosed systems utilize a multi-attribute contrastive classification neural network that includes an embedding neural network, a localizer neural network, a multi-attention neural network, and a classifier neural network. In some cases, the disclosed systems train the multi-attribute contrastive classification neural network utilizing a multi-attribute, supervised-contrastive loss. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate negative attribute training labels for labeled digital images utilizing positive attribute labels that correspond to the labeled digital images.

Extracting attributes from arbitrary digital images utilizing a multi-attribute contrastive classification neural network

The present disclosure relates to an object selection system that automatically detects and selects objects in a digital image based on natural language-based inputs. For instance, the object selection system can utilize natural language processing tools to detect objects and their corresponding relationships within natural language object selection queries. For example, the object selection system can determine alternative object terms for unrecognized objects in a natural language object selection query. As another example, the object selection system can determine multiple types of relationships between objects in a natural language object selection query and utilize different object relationship models to select the requested query object.

Utilizing natural language processing automatically select objects in images

The present disclosure relates to an object selection system that automatically detects and selects objects in a digital image utilizing a large-scale object detector. For instance, in response to receiving a request to automatically select a query object with an unknown object class in a digital image, the object selection system can utilize a large-scale object detector to detect potential objects in the image, filter out one or more potential objects, and label the remaining potential objects in the image to detect the query object. In some implementations, the large-scale object detector utilizes a region proposal model, a concept mask model, and an auto tagging model to automatically detect objects in the digital image.
