1. Grounding Action Descriptions in Videos (2013 · 535 citations)
   Text-only distributional models describe word meaning incompletely, and earlier multimodal work grounded semantics only in still images.
2. Visual Writing Prompts: Character-Grounded Story Generation with Curated Image Sequences (2023 · 47 citations)
   Visual story generation models are often trained on image sequences such as VIST's Flickr albums. These sequences tend to lack a real plot, and the people in them change from picture to picture, so the stories written for them are weak training data. The authors introduce the notion of "visual tellability": a good…
