PolyFormer is a unified framework for referring image segmentation (RIS) and referring expression comprehension (REC) by formulating them as a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) prediction problem. For more details, please refer to our paper:

We pre-train PolyFormer on the REC task using Visual Genome, RefCOCO, RefCOCO+, RefCOCOg, and Flickr30k-entities, and the finetune on REC + RIS task using RefCOCO, RefCOCO+,
and RefCOCOg.
