• Authors: Jianan Chen, Lu Zhang, Qiong Wang, Cong Bai, Kidiyo Kpalma
• Abstract summary: Cross-modal retrieval has drawn much attention in computer vision and natural language processing domains. With the development of convolutional and recurrent neural networks, the bottleneck of retrieval across image-text modalities is no longer the extraction of image and text features but an efficient loss function learning in embedding space. This paper proposes a method for learning joint embedding of images and texts using an intra-modal constraint loss function to reduce the violation of negative pairs from the same homogeneous modality.

• Abstract: Cross-modal retrieval has drawn much attention in both computer vision and natural language processing domains. With the development of convolutional and recurrent neural networks, the bottleneck of retrieval across image-text modalities is no longer the extraction of image and text features but an efficient loss function learning in embedding space. Many loss functions try to closer pairwise features from heterogeneous modalities. This paper proposes a method for learning joint embedding of images and texts using an intra-modal constraint loss function to reduce the violation of negative pairs from the same homogeneous modality. Experimental results show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art bi-directional image-text retrieval methods on Flickr30K and Microsoft COCO datasets. Our code is publicly available: https://github.com/CanonChen/IMC.

  We propose a contrastive learning approach with a novel combination of two loss functions: fake-to-fake loss and fake-to-real loss. We test this approach on two baseline models: SSAGAN and AttnGAN. Results show that our approach improves the qualitative results on AttnGAN with style blocks on the CUB dataset.

  Cross-modal retrieval consists in finding images related to a given query text or vice-versa. Many recent methods proposed effective solutions to the image-text matching problem, mostly using recent large vision-language (VL) Transformer networks. This paper proposes an ALign And DIstill Network (ALADIN) to fill in the gap between effectiveness and efficiency.

We show distinct improvement over baseline models in all three modes of unpaired I2I translation: single-modal, multi-modal, and even single-image translation.

Our method narrows the modality gap between the text modality and the image modality by maximizing mutual information between their not exactly semantically identical representation.
