Hard Negative Mining for Metric Learning Based Zero-Shot Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Zero-Shot learning has been shown to be an efficient strategy for domain adaptation. In this context, this paper builds on the recent work of Bucher et al. [1], which proposed an approach to solve ZeroShot classification problems (ZSC) by introducing a novel metric learning based objective function. This objective function allows to learn an optimal embedding of the attributes jointly with a measure of similarity between images and attributes. This paper extends their approach by proposing several schemes to control the generation of the negative pairs, resulting in a significant improvement of the performance and giving above state-of-the-art results on three challenging ZSC datasets.

Improving Semantic Embedding Consistency by Metric Learning for Zero-Shot Classiffication
This paper addresses the task of zero-shot image classification. The key contribution of the proposed approach is to control the semantic embedding of images – one of the main ingredients of zero-shot learning – by formulating it as a metric learning problem. The optimized empirical criterion associates two types of sub-task constraints: metric discriminating capacity and accurate attribute pre...
متن کاملLocal Similarity-Aware Deep Feature Embedding
Existing deep embedding methods in vision tasks are capable of learning a compact Euclidean space from images, where Euclidean distances correspond to a similarity metric. To make learning more effective and efficient, hard sample mining is usually employed, with samples identified through computing the Euclidean feature distance. However, the global Euclidean distance cannot faithfully charact...
متن کاملProbabilistic Zero-shot Classification with Semantic Rankings
In this paper we propose a non-metric rankingbased representation of semantic similarity that allows natural aggregation of semantic information from multiple heterogeneous sources. We apply the ranking-based representation to zeroshot learning problems, and present deterministic and probabilistic zero-shot classifiers which can be built from pre-trained classifiers without retraining. We demon...
متن کاملAn Effective Approach for Robust Metric Learning in the Presence of Label Noise
Many algorithms in machine learning, pattern recognition, and data mining are based on a similarity/distance measure. For example, the kNN classifier and clustering algorithms such as k-means require a similarity/distance function. Also, in Content-Based Information Retrieval (CBIR) systems, we need to rank the retrieved objects based on the similarity to the query. As generic measures such as ...
متن کاملComposite Kernel Optimization in Semi-Supervised Metric
Machine-learning solutions to classification, clustering and matching problems critically depend on the adopted metric, which in the past was selected heuristically. In the last decade, it has been demonstrated that an appropriate metric can be learnt from data, resulting in superior performance as compared with traditional metrics. This has recently stimulated a considerable interest in the to...
