This paper describes our approach to the multi-modal fact verification (FACTIFY) challenge at AAAI2023. In recent years, with the widespread use of social media, fake news can spread rapidly and negatively impact social security. Automatic claim verification becomes more and more crucial to combat fake news. In fact verification involving multiple modal data, there should be a structural coherence between claim and document. Therefore, we proposed a structure coherence-based multi-modal fact verification scheme to classify fake news. Our structure coherence includes the following four aspects: sentence length, vocabulary similarity, semantic similarity, and image similarity. Specifically, CLIP and Sentence BERT are combined to extract text features, and ResNet50 is used to extract image features. In addition, we also extract the length of the text as well as the lexical similarity. Then the features were concatenated and passed through the random forest classifier. Finally, our weighted average F1 score has reached 0.8079, achieving 2nd place in FACTIFY2.
How to effectively explore the colors of reference exemplars and propagate them to colorize each frame is vital for exemplar-based video colorization. In this paper, we present an effective BiSTNet to explore colors of reference exemplars and utilize them to help video colorization by a bidirectional temporal feature fusion with the guidance of semantic image prior. We first establish the semantic correspondence between each frame and the reference exemplars in deep feature space to explore color information from reference exemplars. Then, to better propagate the colors of reference exemplars into each frame and avoid the inaccurate matches colors from exemplars we develop a simple yet effective bidirectional temporal feature fusion module to better colorize each frame. We note that there usually exist color-bleeding artifacts around the boundaries of the important objects in videos. To overcome this problem, we further develop a mixed expert block to extract semantic information for modeling the object boundaries of frames so that the semantic image prior can better guide the colorization process for better performance. In addition, we develop a multi-scale recurrent block to progressively colorize frames in a coarse-to-fine manner. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed BiSTNet performs favorably against state-of-the-art methods on the benchmark datasets.
