FindIt - Referring Expression Detection: leaderboard
Metric: Average F1@0.5 (%) over referring expression detection on 1,000-query subsets of RefCOCO/+/g (averaged), RefL4, Flickr30k-Entities, D3, PhraseCut and SVG; each model scored with the box representation, text or JSON output and JSON key that a two-stage probe on Pascal VOC found best for it; boxes Hungarian-matched to the ground truth, a match counts at IoU 0.5 or more (with the right label for multi-label queries); unparseable outputs count as empty; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around 2029. 10 models tracked.
