Each
node in the graph corresponds to a string sand its denotation:
Ifs(e.g. s="two dogs running" ) is the parent of
t (e.g. t="two dogs running in the grass" ) in the
denotation graph, sis more generic than t, and there is
one linguistic operation (here, the addition of the prepositional
phrase "in the grass") that turns sinto
t. Hence, any image that depicts t(two dogs running
in the grass) must also depict s(two dogs running),
and ⟦ t⟧ ⊆ ⟦ s⟧. Thus, the visual denotation of
a parent swill subsume the visual denotation of any of its
children t.
We provide below the data files that make up the denotation graph we have created from the Flickr 30k Dataset. The graph consists of a set of strings that define the nodes of the graph (dog, running, grass, etc...), the edges that connect those nodes (dog running can be created from running by adding the subject dog, and can be created from dog by adding the verb running), and the images that depict each string in the graph.
Additionally, we have computed two different kinds of denotational similarity metrics computed on the nodes in the graph: (normalized) pointwise mutual information, PMI(s, t), and conditional probabilities, P(s | t ). Our paper shows that these similarity metrics are at least as beneficial as distributional similarities for two tasks that require semantic inference. For example:
| s | PMI(s, play baseball) | P(play baseball | s) |
| tag him | 0.673 | 0.600 |
| hold bat | 0.627 | 0.368 |
| try to tag | 0.616 | 0.517 |
| slide into base | 0.569 | 0.278 |
| hold bat | 0.627 | 0.368 |
| pitch | 0.561 | 0.200 |
The approximate textual entailment task generates textual entailment items using the Flickr 30k Dataset and our denotation graph. We use captions from the Flickr 30k Dataset as premises, and try to determine if they entail strings from the denotation graph.
| Premises: | A woman with dark hair in bending, open mouthed, towards the back of a dark headed toddler's head. |
| A dark-haired woman has her mouth open and is hugging a little girl while sitting on a red blanket. | |
| A grown lady is snuggling on the couch with a young girl and the lady has a frightened look. | |
| A mom holding her child on a red sofa while they are both having fun. | |
| Hypothesis: | make face |
