• Title: InDiReCT: Language-Guided Zero-Shot Deep Metric Learning for Images
• Authors: Konstantin Kobs, Michael Steininger, Andreas Hotho
• Abstract summary: We argue that depending on the application, users of image retrieval systems have different and changing similarity notions. We present Language-Guided Zero-Shot Deep Metric Learning (LanZ-DML) as a new DML setting. InDiReCT is a model for LanZ-DML on images that exclusively uses a few text prompts for training.

• Abstract: Common Deep Metric Learning (DML) datasets specify only one notion of similarity, e.g., two images in the Cars196 dataset are deemed similar if they show the same car model. We argue that depending on the application, users of image retrieval systems have different and changing similarity notions that should be incorporated as easily as possible. Therefore, we present Language-Guided Zero-Shot Deep Metric Learning (LanZ-DML) as a new DML setting in which users control the properties that should be important for image representations without training data by only using natural language. To this end, we propose InDiReCT (Image representations using Dimensionality Reduction on CLIP embedded Texts), a model for LanZ-DML on images that exclusively uses a few text prompts for training. InDiReCT utilizes CLIP as a fixed feature extractor for images and texts and transfers the variation in text prompt embeddings to the image embedding space. Extensive experiments on five datasets and overall thirteen similarity notions show that, despite not seeing any images during training, InDiReCT performs better than strong baselines and approaches the performance of fully-supervised models. An analysis reveals that InDiReCT learns to focus on regions of the image that correlate with the desired similarity notion, which makes it a fast to train and easy to use method to create custom embedding spaces only using natural language.

  Methods based on Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) are nowadays extensively used in support of vision-and-language tasks involving remote sensing data. This work proposes a novel vision-and-language model for the remote sensing domain, exploring the fine-tuning of a multilingual CLIP model. Our resulting model, which we named Remote Sensing Multilingual CLIP (RS-M-CLIP), obtains state-of-the-art results in a variety of vision-and-language tasks.

  It has recently been discovered that using a pre-trained vision-language model (VLM), e.g., CLIP, to align a whole query image with several finer text descriptions can significantly enhance zero-shot performance. In this paper, we empirically find that the finer descriptions tend to align more effectively with local areas of the query image rather than the whole image.

  We propose Symmetric Superimposition Modeling to simultaneously capture local character features and linguistic information in text images. At the pixel level, we reconstruct the original and inverted images to capture character shapes and texture-level linguistic context. At the feature level, we reconstruct the feature of the same original image and inverted image with different augmentations to model the semantic-level linguistic context and the local character discrimination.

We extend the CLIP model and build a sparse text and image representation (STAIR), where the image and text are mapped to a sparse token space. It significantly outperforms a CLIP model with +$4.9%$ and +$4.3%$ absolute Recall@1 improvement.
