Abstract
A computer-implemented method for fine-grained referring expression comprehension is provided. The computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a processor, a textual expression and an image as inputs and executing, at the processor, fine-grained referring expression comprehension. The executing includes decomposing the textual expression into different textual modules, extracting visual regional proposals from the image, using language-guided graph neural networks to mine fine-grained object relations from the visual regional proposals and aggregating different matching similarities between the different textual modules and the fine-grained object relations.
