• Abstract: Generalized Zero-Shot Learning (GZSL) aims to recognize images from both seen and unseen categories. Most GZSL methods typically learn to synthesize CNN visual features for the unseen classes by leveraging entire semantic information, e.g., tags and attributes, and the visual features of the seen classes. Within the visual features, we define two types of features that semantic-consistent and semantic-unrelated to represent the characteristics of images annotated in attributes and less informative features of images respectively. Ideally, the semantic-unrelated information is impossible to transfer by semantic-visual relationship from seen classes to unseen classes, as the corresponding characteristics are not annotated in the semantic information. Thus, the foundation of the visual feature synthesis is not always solid as the features of the seen classes may involve semantic-unrelated information that could interfere with the alignment between semantic and visual modalities. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a novel feature disentangling approach based on an encoder-decoder architecture to factorize visual features of images into these two latent feature spaces to extract corresponding representations. Furthermore, a relation module is incorporated into this architecture to learn semantic-visual relationship, whilst a total correlation penalty is applied to encourage the disentanglement of two latent representations. The proposed model aims to distill quality semantic-consistent representations that capture intrinsic features of seen images, which are further taken as the generation target for unseen classes. Extensive experiments conducted on seven GZSL benchmark datasets have verified the state-of-the-art performance of the proposal.

  We propose a Dual Relation Mining Network (DRMN) to enable effective visual-semantic interactions and learn semantic relationship among attributes for knowledge transfer. Specifically, we introduce a Dual Attention Block (DAB) for visual-semantic relationship mining, which enriches visual information by multi-level feature fusion. For semantic relationship modeling, we utilize a Semantic Interaction Transformer (SIT) to enhance the generalization of attribute representations among images.

  Generalized Zero-Shot Learning (GZSL) identifies unseen categories by knowledge transferred from the seen domain. We deploy the dual semantic-visual transformer module (DSVTM) to progressively model the correspondences between prototypes and visual features. DSVTM devises an instance-motivated semantic encoder that learns instance-centric prototypes to adapt to different images, enabling the recast of the unmatched semantic-visual pair into the matched one.
