Towards Robust Referring Image Segmentation

Understand

Referring Image Segmentation (RIS) is a fundamental vision-language task that outputs object masks based on text descriptions.

• Many works have achieved considerable progress for RIS, including different fusion method designs.
• In this work, we explore an essential question, ``What if the text description is wrong or misleading?'' For example, the described objects are not in the image.
• We term such a sentence as a negative sentence.
