• Abstract: In this work, we evaluate contrastive models for the task of image retrieval. We hypothesise that models that are learned to encode semantic similarity among instances via discriminative learning should perform well on the task of image retrieval, where relevancy is defined in terms of instances of the same object. Through our extensive evaluation, we find that representations from models trained using contrastive methods perform on-par with (and outperforms) a pre-trained supervised baseline trained on the ImageNet labels in retrieval tasks under various configurations. This is remarkable given that the contrastive models require no explicit supervision. Thus, we conclude that these models can be used to bootstrap base models to build more robust image retrieval engines.

  This paper proposes a novel framework to reinforce classification models using language-guided generated counterfactual images. We identify model weaknesses by testing the model using the counterfactual image dataset. We employ the counterfactual images as an augmented dataset to fine-tune and reinforce the classification model.

  We consider the task of paraphrased text-to-image retrieval where a model aims to return similar results given a pair of paraphrased queries. We train a dual-encoder model starting from a language model pretrained on a large text corpus. Compared to public dual-encoder models such as CLIP and OpenCLIP, the model trained with our best adaptation strategy achieves a significantly higher ranking similarity for paraphrased queries.

  We present a framework for understanding and extracting style descriptors from images. Our framework comprises a new dataset curated using the insight that style is a subjective property of an image. We also propose a method to extract style attribute descriptors that can be used to style of a generated image to the images used in the training dataset of a text-to-image model.

  We present a more intuitive approach to build and compare image similarity models based on labelled data. We address the challenges of sparse sampling in the image space (R, A, B) and biases in the models trained with context-based data. Our testing results show that the ensemble model constructed performs 5% better than the best individual context-sensitive models.

  We leverage the meta-features associated with each entity as a source of worldly knowledge and employ entity representations from the models. We propose using the consistency between these representations and the meta-features as a metric for evaluating pre-trained models. Our method's effectiveness is demonstrated across various domains, including models with relational datasets, large language models and image models.

  We evaluate the viability of the image embeddings from pre-trained computer vision models using a novel approach named CorrEmbed.

Our method also identifies deviations from this pattern, providing insights into how different models capture high-level image features.

  We evaluate attribution through "customization" methods, which tune an existing large-scale model toward a given exemplar object or style. Our key insight is that this allows us to efficiently create synthetic images that are computationally influenced by the exemplar by construction. By taking into account the inherent uncertainty of the problem, we can assign soft attribution scores over a set of training images.

  Internal learning for single-image generation is a framework, where a generator is trained to produce novel images based on a single image. We propose a meta-learning approach that enables training over a collection of images, in order to model the internal statistics of the sample image more effectively. Our results show that the models obtained are as suitable as single-image GANs for many common image applications.
