DViN: Dynamic Visual Routing Network for Weakly Supervised Referring Expression Comprehension

In this paper, we focus on weakly supervised referring expression comprehension (REC), and identify that the lack of fine-grained visual capability greatly limits the upper performance bound of existing methods. To address this issue, we propose a novel framework for weakly supervised REC, namely Dynamic Visual routing Network (DViN), which overcomes the visual shortcomings from the perspective of feature combination and alignment. In particular, DViN is equipped with a novel sparse routing mechanism to efficiently combine features of multiple visual encoders in a dynamic manner, thus improving the visual descriptive power. Besides, we further propose an innovative weakly supervised objective, namely Routing-based Feature Alignment (RFA), which facilitates the visual understanding of routed features through the intra-modal and inter-modal alignment. To validate DViN, we conduct extensive experiments on four REC benchmark datasets. Experiments demonstrate that DViN achieves state-of-the-art results on four benchmarks while maintaining competitive inference efficiency. Besides, the strong generalization ability of DViN is also validated on weakly supervised referring expression segmentation.
