• Abstract: Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to transfer knowledge from seen classes to semantically related unseen classes, which are absent during training. The promising strategies for ZSL are to synthesize visual features of unseen classes conditioned on semantic side information and to incorporate meta-learning to eliminate the model's inherent bias towards seen classes. Existing meta generative approaches pursue a common model shared across task distributions; in contrast, we aim to construct a generative network adaptive to task characteristics. To this end, we propose the Attribute-Modulated generAtive meta-model for Zero-shot learning (AMAZ). Our model consists of an attribute-aware modulation network and an attribute-augmented generative network. Given unseen classes, the modulation network adaptively modulates the generator by applying task-specific transformations so that the generative network can adapt to highly diverse tasks. Our empirical evaluations on four widely-used benchmarks show that AMAZ improves state-of-the-art methods by 3.8% and 5.1% in ZSL and generalized ZSL settings, respectively, demonstrating the superiority of our method.

  Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is a promising approach to generalizing a model to unseen categories during training. We propose a Meta-learned Attribute self-Interaction Network (MAIN) for continual ZSL. By pairing attribute self-interaction trained using meta-learning with inverse regularization of the attribute encoder, we are able to outperform state-of-the-art results without leveraging the unseen class attributes.

  Generalized Zero-Shot Learning aims to recognize images from both the seen and unseen classes by transferring semantic knowledge from seen to unseen classes. It is a promising solution to take the advantage of generative models to hallucinate realistic unseen samples based on the knowledge learned from the seen classes. We propose a novel flow-based generative framework that consists of multiple conditional affine coupling layers for learning unseen data generation.

  We present a transformer-based end-to-end ZSL method named DUET.

We find that DUET can often achieve state-of-the-art performance, its components are effective and its predictions are interpretable.
