… presents Pix2Seq, a simple and generic framework for object detection.

Unlike existing approaches that explicitly integrate prior knowledge about the task, we simply cast object detection as a language modeling task conditioned on the observed pixel inputs.

Object descriptions (e.g., bounding boxes and class labels) are expressed as sequences of discrete tokens, and we train a neural net to perceive the image and generate the desired sequence.

… based mainly on the intuition that if a neural net knows about where and what the objects are, we just need to teach it how to read them out.

Beyond the use of task-specific data augmentations, our approach makes minimal assumptions about the task,

yet it achieves competitive results on the challenging COCO dataset, compared to highly specialized and well optimized detection algorithms.
