Abstract

En 中文
Generalized Zero-Shot Learning (GZSL) aims at recognizing images from both seen and unseen classes by constructing correspondences between visual images and semantic embedding. However, existing methods suffer from a strong bias problem, where unseen images in the target domain tend to be recognized as seen classes in the source domain. To address this issue, we propose a Prototype-augmented Self-supervised Generative Network by integrating self-supervised learning and prototype learning into a feature generating model for GZSL. The proposed model enjoys several advantages. First, we propose a Self-supervised Learning Module to exploit inter-domain relationships, where we introduce anchors as a bridge between seen and unseen categories. In the shared space, we pull the distribution of the target domain away from the source domain and obtain domain-aware features. To our best knowledge, this is the first work to introduce self-supervised learning into GZSL as learning guidance. Second, a Prototype Enhancing Module is proposed to utilize class prototypes to model reliable target domain distribution in finer granularity. In this module, a Prototype Alignment mechanism and a Prototype Dispersion mechanism are combined to guide the generation of better target class features with intra-class compactness and inter-class separability. Extensive experimental results on five standard benchmarks demonstrate that our model performs favorably against state-of-the-art GZSL methods.
