• Authors: Shivam Chandhok and Vineeth N Balasubramanian
• Abstract summary: We propose a new two-level joint idea to augment the generative network with an inference network during training. This provides strong cross-modal interaction for effective transfer of knowledge between visual and semantic domains. We evaluate our approach on four benchmark datasets against several state-of-the-art methods, and show its performance.

• Abstract: The performance of generative zero-shot methods mainly depends on the quality of generated features and how well the model facilitates knowledge transfer between visual and semantic domains. The quality of generated features is a direct consequence of the ability of the model to capture the several modes of the underlying data distribution. To address these issues, we propose a new two-level joint maximization idea to augment the generative network with an inference network during training which helps our model capture the several modes of the data and generate features that better represent the underlying data distribution. This provides strong cross-modal interaction for effective transfer of knowledge between visual and semantic domains. Furthermore, existing methods train the zero-shot classifier either on generate synthetic image features or latent embeddings produced by leveraging representation learning. In this work, we unify these paradigms into a single model which in addition to synthesizing image features, also utilizes the representation learning capabilities of the inference network to provide discriminative features for the final zero-shot recognition task. We evaluate our approach on four benchmark datasets i.e. CUB, FLO, AWA1 and AWA2 against several state-of-the-art methods, and show its performance. We also perform ablation studies to analyze and understand our method more carefully for the Generalized Zero-shot Learning task.

  Clustering is one of the most classic approaches in machine learning and data analysis. We propose feature extraction with clustering (FEC), which views feature extraction as a process of selecting representatives from data. FEC alternates between grouping pixels into individual clusters to abstract representatives and updating the deep features of pixels with current representatives.
