• Authors: Shiqi Yang, Kai Wang, Luis Herranz, Joost van de Weijer
• Abstract summary: Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to discriminate images from unseen classes by exploiting relations to seen classes via their semantic descriptions. We propose localizing representations in the semantic/attribute space, with a simple but effective pipeline where localization is implicit. Our method can be implemented easily, which can be used as a new baseline for zero shot-learning.

• Abstract: Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to discriminate images from unseen classes by exploiting relations to seen classes via their semantic descriptions. Some recent papers have shown the importance of localized features together with fine-tuning the feature extractor to obtain discriminative and transferable features. However, these methods require complex attention or part detection modules to perform explicit localization in the visual space. In contrast, in this paper we propose localizing representations in the semantic/attribute space, with a simple but effective pipeline where localization is implicit. Focusing on attribute representations, we show that our method obtains state-of-the-art performance on CUB and SUN datasets, and also achieves competitive results on AWA2 dataset, outperforming generally more complex methods with explicit localization in the visual space. Our method can be implemented easily, which can be used as a new baseline for zero shot-learning. In addition, our localized representations are highly interpretable as attribute-specific heatmaps.

  We propose Proposal Contrastive Learning (PCL) for effective image manipulation detection. Our PCL consists of a two-stream architecture by extracting two types of global features from RGB and noise views respectively. Our PCL can be easily adapted to unlabeled data in practice, which can reduce manual labeling costs and promote more generalizable features.

We propose a novel representation learning framework that jointly learns global and local features using only class-level attributes.

  We propose a Region Semantically Aligned Network (RSAN) which maps local features of unseen classes to their semantic attributes. We obtain each attribute from a specific region of the output and exploit these attributes for recognition. Experiments on several standard ZSL datasets reveal the benefit of the proposed RSAN method, outperforming state-of-the-art methods.
