• Abstract: Automatically understanding the contents of an image is a highly relevant problem in practice. In e-commerce and social media settings, for example, a common problem is to automatically categorize user-provided pictures. Nowadays, a standard approach is to fine-tune pre-trained image models with application-specific data. Besides images, organizations however often also collect collaborative signals in the context of their application, in particular how users interacted with the provided online content, e.g., in forms of viewing, rating, or tagging. Such signals are commonly used for item recommendation, typically by deriving latent user and item representations from the data. In this work, we show that such collaborative information can be leveraged to improve the classification process of new images. Specifically, we propose a multitask learning framework, where the auxiliary task is to reconstruct collaborative latent item representations. A series of experiments on datasets from e-commerce and social media demonstrates that considering collaborative signals helps to significantly improve the performance of the main task of image classification by up to 9.1%.

  We focus on text-to-image systems that input a single image of an individual and ground the generation process along with text describing the desired visual context. We introduce a standardized dataset (Stellar) that contains personalized prompts coupled with images of individuals that is an order of magnitude larger than existing relevant datasets and where rich semantic ground-truth annotations are readily available. We derive a simple yet efficient, personalized text-to-image baseline that does not require test-time fine-tuning for each subject and which sets quantitatively and in human trials a new SoTA.

  Given a query composed of a reference image and a relative caption, the Composed Image Retrieval goal is to retrieve images visually similar to the reference one. We use features from the OpenAI CLIP model to tackle the considered task. We train a Combiner network that learns to combine the image-text features integrating the bimodal information.

• Mixture of Self-Supervised Learning [2.191505742658975]
  Self-supervised learning works by using a pretext task which will be trained on the model before being applied to a specific task. Previous studies have only used one type of transformation as a pretext task. This raises the question of how it affects if more than one pretext task is used and to use a gating network to combine all pretext tasks.

  We present Contrastive Spatial Pre-Training (CSP), a self-supervised learning framework for geo-tagged images. We use a dual-encoder to separately encode the images and their corresponding geo-locations, and use contrastive objectives to learn effective location representations from images. CSP significantly boosts the model performance with 10-34% relative improvement with various labeled training data sampling ratios.
