• Abstract: Image-text retrieval is one of the major tasks of cross-modal retrieval. Several approaches for this task map images and texts into a common space to create correspondences between the two modalities. However, due to the content (semantics) richness of an image, redundant secondary information in an image may cause false matches. To address this issue, this paper presents a semantic optimization approach, implemented as a Visual Semantic Loss (VSL), to assist the model in focusing on an image's main content. This approach is inspired by how people typically annotate the content of an image by describing its main content. Thus, we leverage the annotated texts corresponding to an image to assist the model in capturing the main content of the image, reducing the negative impact of secondary content. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets (MSCOCO and Flickr30K) demonstrate the superior performance of our method. The code is available at: https://github.com/ZhangXu0963/VSL.

  Multi-modal keyphrase generation aims to produce a set of keyphrases that represent the core points of the input text-image pair. The input text and image are often not perfectly matched, and thus the image may introduce noise into the model. We propose a novel multi-modal keyphrase generation model, which not only enriches the model input with external knowledge, but also effectively filters image noise.

  Content-based image retrieval has seen astonishing progress over the past decade, especially for the task of retrieving images of the same object. This brings rise to the question: Do the recent advances in instance retrieval transfer to more generic image retrieval scenarios? We first provide a brief overview of the most relevant milestones of instance retrieval. We then apply them to a semantic image retrieval task and find that they perform inferior to much less sophisticated and more generic methods. We conclude that the key problem for the further advancement of semantic image retrieval lies in the lack of a standardized task definition and an appropriate benchmark dataset.
