• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel goal-oriented gaze estimation module (GEM) to improve the discriminative attribute localization. We aim to predict the actual human gaze location to get the visual attention regions for recognizing a novel object guided by attribute description. This work implies the promising benefits of collecting human gaze dataset and automatic gaze estimation algorithms on high-level computer vision tasks.

• Abstract: Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to recognize novel classes by transferring semantic knowledge from seen classes to unseen classes. Since semantic knowledge is built on attributes shared between different classes, which are highly local, strong prior for localization of object attribute is beneficial for visual-semantic embedding. Interestingly, when recognizing unseen images, human would also automatically gaze at regions with certain semantic clue. Therefore, we introduce a novel goal-oriented gaze estimation module (GEM) to improve the discriminative attribute localization based on the class-level attributes for ZSL. We aim to predict the actual human gaze location to get the visual attention regions for recognizing a novel object guided by attribute description. Specifically, the task-dependent attention is learned with the goal-oriented GEM, and the global image features are simultaneously optimized with the regression of local attribute features. Experiments on three ZSL benchmarks, i.e., CUB, SUN and AWA2, show the superiority or competitiveness of our proposed method against the state-of-the-art ZSL methods. The ablation analysis on real gaze data CUB-VWSW also validates the benefits and accuracy of our gaze estimation module. This work implies the promising benefits of collecting human gaze dataset and automatic gaze estimation algorithms on high-level computer vision tasks.

  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.

  Current approaches in Generalized Zero-Shot Learning (GZSL) are built upon base models which consider only a single class attribute vector representation over the entire image. We take a fundamentally different approach: a pre-trained Vision-Language detector (VINVL) sensitive to attribute information is employed to efficiently obtain region features. A learned function maps the region features to region-specific attribute attention used to construct class part prototypes.

  Zero-shot learning (ZSL) allows for identifying novel classes that are not seen during training. Previous ZSL models mainly depend on manually-labeled attributes or word embeddings extracted from language models to transfer knowledge from seen classes to novel classes. We propose to collect visually detectable attributes automatically. We predict attributes for each class by depicting the semantic-visual similarity between attributes and images.

  Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to infer novel classes without training samples by transferring knowledge from seen classes.

We propose a novel Dual Feature Augmentation Network (DFAN), which comprises two feature augmentation modules.
