• Title: Learning to Name Classes for Vision and Language Models
• Authors: Sarah Parisot, Yongxin Yang, Steven McDonagh
• Abstract summary: Large scale vision and language models can achieve impressive zero-shot recognition performance by mapping class specific text queries to image content. We propose to leverage available data to learn, for each class, an optimal word embedding as a function of the visual content. By learning new word embeddings on an otherwise frozen model, we are able to retain zero-shot capabilities for new classes, easily adapt models to new datasets, and adjust potentially erroneous, non-descriptive or ambiguous class names.

• Abstract: Large scale vision and language models can achieve impressive zero-shot recognition performance by mapping class specific text queries to image content. Two distinct challenges that remain however, are high sensitivity to the choice of handcrafted class names that define queries, and the difficulty of adaptation to new, smaller datasets. Towards addressing these problems, we propose to leverage available data to learn, for each class, an optimal word embedding as a function of the visual content. By learning new word embeddings on an otherwise frozen model, we are able to retain zero-shot capabilities for new classes, easily adapt models to new datasets, and adjust potentially erroneous, non-descriptive or ambiguous class names. We show that our solution can easily be integrated in image classification and object detection pipelines, yields significant performance gains in multiple scenarios and provides insights into model biases and labelling errors.

  Multimodal pre-trained models, such as CLIP, are popular for zero-shot classification due to their open-vocabulary flexibility and high performance. vision-language models, which compute similarity scores between images and class labels, are largely black-box, with limited interpretability, risk for bias, and inability to discover new visual concepts not written down. We present a novel method that discovers interpretable yet discriminative sets of attributes for visual recognition.

  We propose a vision-language model with assigning class names to images given only a large (essentially unconstrained) vocabulary of categories as prior information. We leverage non-parametric methods to establish meaningful relationships between images, allowing the model to automatically narrow down the pool of candidate names. Our method leads to a roughly 50% improvement over the baseline on ImageNet in the unsupervised setting.

  We propose a new framework, named Semantic-guided Visual Adapting (SgVA), to extend vision-language pre-trained models. SgVA produces discriminative task-specific visual features by comprehensively using a vision-specific contrastive loss, a cross-modal contrastive loss, and an implicit knowledge distillation. State-of-the-art results on 13 datasets demonstrate that the adapted visual features can well complement the cross-modal features to improve few-shot image classification.

  We propose to discover semantic embeddings containing discriminative visual properties for zero-shot learning. Our model visually divides a set of images from seen classes into clusters of local image regions according to their visual similarity. We demonstrate that our visually-grounded semantic embeddings further improve performance over word embeddings across various ZSL models by a large margin.

• Empower Entity Set Expansion via Language Model Probing [58.78909391545238]
  Existing set expansion methods bootstrap the seed entity set by adaptively selecting context features and extracting new entities. A key challenge for entity set expansion is to avoid selecting ambiguous context features which will shift the class semantics and lead to accumulative errors in later iterations. We propose a novel iterative set expansion framework that leverages automatically generated class names to address the semantic drift issue.
