RelateAnything: Real-Time Open-Vocabulary Relation Prediction From Any Inputs
Summary
RelateAnything is a 53 M‑parameter model that predicts arbitrary textual relations between any supplied image regions, using a text‑embedding bank instead of a fixed classifier. Trained on a new 4.3 M‑relation dataset, it outperforms prior open‑vocab methods by 2.3‑3.5× mean recall while running in ~20 ms per frame.
- Model accepts region proposals from any source (detector, human, etc.) and a predicate list supplied at inference as raw strings.
- Predicate vocabulary is encoded with a contrastive text encoder; antonyms are separated at cosine similarity ≥ 0.95.
- Training uses positive‑unlabeled supervision over 19 k predicates, leveraging the RA‑4M dataset (474 k images, 4.3 M relations).
- OV‑SGG‑Bench evaluates on six axes across multiple datasets, revealing that in‑domain scores can overstate transfer gains by ~5×.
Vision‑language engineers who need flexible, real‑time relation extraction across arbitrary vocabularies will benefit from the model’s low latency and dataset‑driven approach.
