• Abstract summary: Cross-modal representation learning learns a shared embedding between two or more modalities to improve performance in a given task. We present a triplet loss with a dynamic margin for single label and sequence-to-sequence classification tasks. Our experiments show an improved classification accuracy, faster convergence, and better generalizability due to an improved cross-modal representation.

• Abstract: Cross-modal representation learning learns a shared embedding between two or more modalities to improve performance in a given task compared to using only one of the modalities. Cross-modal representation learning from different data types -- such as images and time-series data (e.g., audio or text data) -- requires a deep metric learning loss that minimizes the distance between the modality embeddings. In this paper, we propose to use the contrastive or triplet loss, which uses positive and negative identities to create sample pairs with different labels, for cross-modal representation learning between image and time-series modalities (CMR-IS). By adapting the triplet loss for cross-modal representation learning, higher accuracy in the main (time-series classification) task can be achieved by exploiting additional information of the auxiliary (image classification) task. We present a triplet loss with a dynamic margin for single label and sequence-to-sequence classification tasks. We perform extensive evaluations on synthetic image and time-series data, and on data for offline handwriting recognition (HWR) and on online HWR from sensor-enhanced pens for classifying written words. Our experiments show an improved classification accuracy, faster convergence, and better generalizability due to an improved cross-modal representation. Furthermore, the more suitable generalizability leads to a better adaptability between writers for online HWR.

  This paper builds on the hypothesis that there is an inherent data-hungry matter in learning semantic correspondences. We demonstrate a simple machine annotator reliably enriches paired key points via machine supervision. Our models surpass current state-of-the-art models on semantic correspondence learning benchmarks like SPair-71k, PF-PASCAL, and PF-WILLOW.

  Text-Based Person Search (TBPS) is a crucial task that enables accurate retrieval of target individuals from large-scale galleries. For cross-modal TBPS tasks, it is critical to obtain well-distributed representation in the common embedding space. We present a method named Sew and Masked Modeling (SCMM) that calibrates cross-modal representations by learning compact and well-aligned embeddings.

  We propose to employ a novel bidirectional attention mechanism (BiAM) to jointly learn both ASR encoder (bottom layers) and text encoder with a multi-modal learning method. BiAM is to facilitate feature sampling rate exchange, realizing the quality of the transformed features for the one kind to be measured in another space. Experimental results on Librispeech corpus show it can achieve up to 6.15% word error rate reduction (WERR) with only paired data learning, while 9.23% WERR when more unpaired text data is employed.

  We propose Coupled Diversity-Sensitive Momentum Constrastive Learning (CODER) for improving cross-modal representation. We introduce dynamic dictionaries for both modalities to enlarge the scale of image-text pairs, and diversity-sensitiveness is achieved by adaptive negative pair weighting. Experiments conducted on two popular benchmarks, i.e. MSCOCO and Flicker30K, validate CODER remarkably outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches.
