• Abstract: Generalized zero-shot learning recognizes inputs from both seen and unseen classes. Yet, existing methods tend to be biased towards the classes seen during training. In this paper, we strive to mitigate this bias. We propose a bias-aware learner to map inputs to a semantic embedding space for generalized zero-shot learning. During training, the model learns to regress to real-valued class prototypes in the embedding space with temperature scaling, while a margin-based bidirectional entropy term regularizes seen and unseen probabilities. Relying on a real-valued semantic embedding space provides a versatile approach, as the model can operate on different types of semantic information for both seen and unseen classes. Experiments are carried out on four benchmarks for generalized zero-shot learning and demonstrate the benefits of the proposed bias-aware classifier, both as a stand-alone method or in combination with generated features.

  We propose a new method for fair contrastive learning that employs an attention mechanism to model bias-causing interactions. Our attention mechanism avoids bias-causing samples that confound the model and focuses on bias-reducing samples that help learn semantically meaningful representations.

  One of the ultimate goals of representation learning is to achieve compactness within a class and well-separability between classes. We propose a novel perspective to use pre-defined class anchors serving as feature centroid to unidirectionally guide feature learning. The proposed Semantic Anchor Regularization (SAR) can be used in a plug-and-play manner in the existing models.
