• Abstract: Attribute recognition is a crucial but challenging task due to viewpoint changes, illumination variations and appearance diversities, etc. Most of previous work only consider the attribute-level feature embedding, which might perform poorly in complicated heterogeneous conditions. To address this problem, we propose a hierarchical feature embedding (HFE) framework, which learns a fine-grained feature embedding by combining attribute and ID information. In HFE, we maintain the inter-class and intra-class feature embedding simultaneously. Not only samples with the same attribute but also samples with the same ID are gathered more closely, which could restrict the feature embedding of visually hard samples with regard to attributes and improve the robustness to variant conditions. We establish this hierarchical structure by utilizing HFE loss consisted of attribute-level and ID-level constraints. We also introduce an absolute boundary regularization and a dynamic loss weight as supplementary components to help build up the feature embedding. Experiments show that our method achieves the state-of-the-art results on two pedestrian attribute datasets and a facial attribute dataset.

  Hybrid Discriminative Attribute-Object Embedding (HDA-OE) network is proposed to solve the problem of complex interactions between attributes and object visual representations. To increase the variability of training data, HDA-OE introduces an attribute-driven data synthesis (ADDS) module. To further improve the discriminative ability of the model, HDA-OE introduces the subclass-driven discriminative embedding (SDDE) module. The proposed model has been evaluated on three benchmark datasets, and the results verify its effectiveness and reliability.

  We show that current methods can actually suffer in generalizing such fitted attributes interdependencies onto scenes or identities off the dataset distribution. To render models robust in realistic scenes, we propose the attributes-disentangled feature learning to ensure the recognition of an attribute not inferring on the existence of others.

  Representing the spatial properties of facial attributes is a vital challenge for facial attribute recognition (FAR) Recent advances have achieved the reliable performances for FAR, benefiting from the description of spatial properties via extra prior information. We propose a prior-free method for attribute spatial decomposition (ASD), mitigating the spatial ambiguity of facial attributes without any extra prior information.
