DESCRIPTION:<b>Abstract</b><p>We will present efficient and scalable train
 ing framework that incorporates large-scale image-text pairs to achieve op
 en-vocabulary object detection (OVD). Unlike previous OVD frameworks that 
 typically rely on a pre-trained vision-language model (e.g.\, CLIP) or exp
 loit image-text pairs via a pseudo labelling process\, DetCLIP directly le
 arns the fine-grained word-region alignment from massive image-text pairs 
 in an end-to-end manner. We employ a maximum word-region similarity betwee
 n region proposals and textual words to guide the contrastive objective. T
 o enable the model to gain localization capability while learning broad co
 ncepts\, DetCLIP is trained with a hybrid supervision from detection\, gro
 unding and image-text pair data under a unified data formulation. By joint
 ly training with an alternating scheme and adopting low-resolution input f
 or image-text pairs\, DetCLIP exploits image-text pair data efficiently an
 d effectively.\n</p>\n<b>Biography</b><br>\n<p>Dr Wei ZHang joined Huawei

 iversity of Hong Kong (CUHK). He received his Ph.D. degree in computer sci
 ence from CUHK in 2010\, his MS degree from Tsinghua University in 2005 an
 d his B.S. from Nankai University in 2002. Co-organizer of the “Self-sup
 ervised Learning for Next-Generation Industry-level Autonomous Driving” 
 workshop at ECCV 2022 and ICCV 2021.\n
