• Abstract summary: Zero-Shot Learning (ZSL) presents the challenge of identifying categories not seen during training. We introduce a Semantic-Enhanced Representations for Zero-Shot Learning (SEER-ZSL) First, we aim to distill meaningful semantic information using a probabilistic encoder, enhancing the semantic consistency and robustness. Second, we distill the visual space by exploiting the learned data distribution through an adversarially trained generator. Third, we align the distilled information, enabling a mapping of unseen categories onto the true data manifold.

• Abstract: Zero-Shot Learning (ZSL) presents the challenge of identifying categories not seen during training. This task is crucial in domains where it is costly, prohibited, or simply not feasible to collect training data. ZSL depends on a mapping between the visual space and available semantic information. Prior works learn a mapping between spaces that can be exploited during inference. We contend, however, that the disparity between meticulously curated semantic spaces and the inherently noisy nature of real-world data remains a substantial and unresolved challenge. In this paper, we address this by introducing a Semantic Encoder-Enhanced Representations for Zero-Shot Learning (SEER-ZSL). We propose a hybrid strategy to address the generalization gap. First, we aim to distill meaningful semantic information using a probabilistic encoder, enhancing the semantic consistency and robustness. Second, we distill the visual space by exploiting the learned data distribution through an adversarially trained generator. Finally, we align the distilled information, enabling a mapping of unseen categories onto the true data manifold. We demonstrate empirically that this approach yields a model that outperforms the state-of-the-art benchmarks in terms of both generalization and benchmarks across diverse settings with small, medium, and large datasets. The complete code is available on GitHub.

  This paper investigates a challenging problem of zero-shot learning in the multi-label scenario (MLZSL) It is trained to recognize multiple unseen classes within a sample based on seen classes and auxiliary knowledge. We propose a novel and comprehensive visual-semantic framework for MLZSL, dubbed Epsilon, to fully make use of such properties.

  Continual learning allows models to learn from new data while retaining previously learned knowledge. The semantic knowledge available in the label information of the images, offers important semantic information that can be related with previously acquired knowledge of semantic classes. We propose integrating semantic guidance within and across tasks by capturing semantic similarity using text embeddings.

Experiment results show our model considerably improves upon the state of the arts in ZSAR, reaching encouraging top-1 accuracy on UCF101, HMDB51, and ActivityNet benchmark datasets.

  Zero-Shot Learning (ZSL) is an emerging research that aims to solve the classification problems with very few training data. This paper introduces knowledge sharing (KS) to enrich the representation of semantic features. Based on KS, we apply a generative adversarial network to generate pseudo visual features from semantic features that are very close to the real visual features.
