Abstract

En 中文
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to recognize image instances of unseen classes solely based on the semantic descriptions of the unseen classes. In this field, Generalized Zero-Shot Learning (GZSL) is a challenging problem in which the images of both seen and unseen classes are mixed in the testing phase of learning. Existing methods formulate GZSL as a semantic-visual correspondence problem and apply generative models such as Generative Adversarial Networks and Variational Autoencoders to solve the problem. However, these methods suffer from the bias problem since the images of unseen classes are often misclassified into seen classes. In this work, a novel model named the Dual Projective model for Zero-Shot Learning (DPZSL) is proposed using text descriptions. In order to alleviate the bias problem, we leverage two autoencoders to project the visual and semantic features into a latent space and evaluate the embeddings by a visual-semantic correspondence loss function. An additional novel classifier is also introduced to ensure the discriminability of the embedded features. Our method focuses on a more challenging inductive ZSL setting in which only the labeled data from seen classes are used in the training phase. The experimental results, obtained from two popular datasets-Caltech-UCSD Birds-200-2011 (CUB) and North America Birds (NAB)-show that the proposed DPZSL model significantly outperforms both the inductive ZSL and GZSL settings. Particularly in the GZSL setting, our model yields an improvement up to 15.2% in comparison with state-of-the-art CANZSL on datasets CUB and NAB with two splittings.
