Title: ML-ViG: Multi-Label Image Recognition with Vision Graph Convolutional Network. Abstract: Multi-Label Image Recognition (MLIR) aims to predict multiple object labels in a single image. Graph representations have been used to model label correlation or visual relationships separately. However, the representations of label embeddings and visual features are not well aligned, which hinders effective representation learning and leads to inferior performance. In this work, we propose the first fully graph convolutional model, termed Multi-Label Vision Graph Convolutional Network (ML-ViG), for the task of MLIR. ML-ViG unifies the representation of visual features and label embeddings, enabling the graph structures to capture the (1) spatial relationship among visual region features, (2) semantic relationship among object labels, and (3) cross-level relationship between labels and regions. In order to effectively pass messages between visual features and labels, Multi-Label Graph Convolutional Network (MLG) module is proposed. 
ML-ViG achieves state-of-the-art performance with significantly lower computational costs on MS-COCO, VOC2007, and VG-500 datasets. Codes and models will be released.
