• Abstract summary: We propose to learn metric spaces which encode semantic similarities as embedding space. These spaces should be transferable to classes beyond those seen during training. This causes learned embedding spaces to encode incomplete semantic context and misrepresent the semantic relation between classes.

• Abstract: Deep Metric Learning (DML) proposes to learn metric spaces which encode semantic similarities as embedding space distances. These spaces should be transferable to classes beyond those seen during training. Commonly, DML methods task networks to solve contrastive ranking tasks defined over binary class assignments. However, such approaches ignore higher-level semantic relations between the actual classes. This causes learned embedding spaces to encode incomplete semantic context and misrepresent the semantic relation between classes, impacting the generalizability of the learned metric space. To tackle this issue, we propose a language guidance objective for visual similarity learning. Leveraging language embeddings of expert- and pseudo-classnames, we contextualize and realign visual representation spaces corresponding to meaningful language semantics for better semantic consistency. Extensive experiments and ablations provide a strong motivation for our proposed approach and show language guidance offering significant, model-agnostic improvements for DML, achieving competitive and state-of-the-art results on all benchmarks.

  We take an initial step on measuring the role of shared semantics among subwords in the encoder-only multilingual language models (mLMs) We form "semantic tokens" by merging the semantically similar subwords and their embeddings. inspections on the grouped subwords show that they exhibit a wide range of semantic similarities.

  Current disentangled representation learning methods suffer from semantic leakage. We propose a novel training objective, ORthogonAlity Constraint LEarning (ORACLE) ORACLE builds upon two components: intra-class clustering and inter-class separation. We demonstrate that training with the ORACLE objective effectively reduces semantic leakage and enhances semantic alignment within the embedding space.

  Metric learning algorithms aim to learn a distance function that brings semantically similar data items together and keeps dissimilar ones at a distance. Deep Metric Learning (DML) methods are proposed that automatically extract features from data and learn a non-linear transformation from input space to a semantically embedding space. We propose a framework to enhance the generalization power of existing DML methods in a Zero-Shot Learning (ZSL) setting.
