• Title: Attribute-Guided Multi-Level Attention Network for Fine-Grained Fashion Retrieval
• Authors: Ling Xiao, Toshihiko Yamasaki,
• Abstract summary: We introduce an attribute-guided multi-level attention network (AG-MAN) for fine-grained fashion retrieval. Specifically, we first enhance the pre-trained feature extractor to capture multi-level image embedding. Then, we propose a classification scheme where images with the same attribute, albeit with different values, are categorized into the same class.

• Abstract: Fine-grained fashion retrieval searches for items that share a similar attribute with the query image. Most existing methods use a pre-trained feature extractor (e.g., ResNet 50) to capture image representations. However, a pre-trained feature backbone is typically trained for image classification and object detection, which are fundamentally different tasks from fine-grained fashion retrieval. Therefore, existing methods suffer from a feature gap problem when directly using the pre-trained backbone for fine-tuning. To solve this problem, we introduce an attribute-guided multi-level attention network (AG-MAN). Specifically, we first enhance the pre-trained feature extractor to capture multi-level image embedding, thereby enriching the low-level features within these representations. Then, we propose a classification scheme where images with the same attribute, albeit with different values, are categorized into the same class. This can further alleviate the feature gap problem by perturbing object-centric feature learning. Moreover, we propose an improved attribute-guided attention module for extracting more accurate attribute-specific representations. Our model consistently outperforms existing attention based methods when assessed on the FashionAI (62.8788% in MAP), DeepFashion (8.9804% in MAP), and Zappos50k datasets (93.32% in Prediction accuracy). Especially, ours improves the most typical ASENet_V2 model by 2.12%, 0.31%, and 0.78% points in FashionAI, DeepFashion, and Zappos50k datasets, respectively.

  Few-shot classification is a challenging problem that aims to learn a model that can adapt to unseen classes given a few labeled samples. Recent approaches pre-train a feature extractor, and then fine-tune for episodic meta-learning. We propose a strategy to cross-attend and re-weight discriminative features for few-shot classification.
