1. ReferItGame: Referring to Objects in Photographs of Natural Scenes (2014 · 1,317 citations)
   The paper studies referring expression generation (REG), which means producing phrases that single out one object in an image.
2. Modeling Context in Referring Expressions (2016 · 1,203 citations)
   The paper studies referring expressions: phrases that pick out one specific object in a photo, such as one giraffe among several.
3. TVQA: Localized, Compositional Video Question Answering (2018 · 687 citations)
   Video question answering has trailed image QA mainly for lack of suitable data. Earlier video QA sets leaned on either the visuals or the plot text, used cartoons or games, or relied on templates. The authors build TVQA from six long-running TV series in three genres: sitcoms, medical dramas and crime. Crowd workers…
4. TreeTalk: Composition and Compression of Trees for Image Descriptions (2014 · 290 citations)
   The paper addresses automatic image captioning. Instead of limiting descriptions to what vision detectors can recognize, it draws on the expressive language people write about photos online. Given a query image, the system retrieves visually similar photos from the collection of captioned images assembled by Ordonez…
