Abstract

Implementations improve object classification/detection by leveraging visual attributes. An image depicting instance(s) of object class(es) is obtained with a textual snippet that includes: noun(s) identifying target object class(es); and adjective(s) describing target visual attribute(s). The textual snippet may be encoded as text embedding(s) that represent target object class(es) and visual attribute(s) in a shared embedding space. The image may be processed using an image encoder to generate image encoder output tokens (IEOTs) that are used to generate object visual embedding(s) in the shared embedding space. The text embedding(s) and the object visual embeddings may be used to classify the IEOTs as depicting an instance of the target object class(es) having target visual attribute(s). The IEOTs may also be processed using a localization head to predict annotation(s) for the digital image.
