• Title: Revealing the Proximate Long-Tail Distribution in Compositional Zero-Shot Learning
• Authors: Chenyi Jiang, Haofeng Zhang
• Abstract summary: Compositional Zero-Shot Learning (CZSL) aims to transfer knowledge from seen state-object pairs to novel pairs. Visual bias caused by predictions of combinations of state-objects blurs their visual features hindering learning of distinguishable class prototypes. We mathematically deduce the role of class prior within the long-tailed distribution in CZSL. Building upon this insight, we incorporate visual bias caused by compositions into the classifier's training and inference by estimating it as a proximate class prior.

• Abstract: Compositional Zero-Shot Learning (CZSL) aims to transfer knowledge from seen state-object pairs to novel unseen pairs. In this process, visual bias caused by the diverse interrelationship of state-object combinations blurs their visual features, hindering the learning of distinguishable class prototypes. Prevailing methods concentrate on disentangling states and objects directly from visual features, disregarding potential enhancements that could arise from a data viewpoint. Experimentally, we unveil the results caused by the above problem closely approximate the long-tailed distribution. As a solution, we transform CZSL into a proximate class imbalance problem. We mathematically deduce the role of class prior within the long-tailed distribution in CZSL. Building upon this insight, we incorporate visual bias caused by compositions into the classifier's training and inference by estimating it as a proximate class prior. This enhancement encourages the classifier to acquire more discernible class prototypes for each composition, thereby achieving more balanced predictions. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach elevates the model's performance to the state-of-the-art level, without introducing additional parameters.

  Compositional Zero-shot Learning (CZSL) aims to identify novel compositions via known attribute-object pairs. The primary challenge in CZSL tasks lies in the significant discrepancies introduced by the complex interaction between the visual primitives of attribute and object. We propose a model-agnostic and Primitive-Based Adversarial training (PBadv) method to deal with this problem.

• Constructing Balance from Imbalance for Long-tailed Image Recognition [50.6210415377178]
  The imbalance between majority (head) classes and minority (tail) classes severely skews the data-driven deep neural networks. Previous methods tackle with data imbalance from the viewpoints of data distribution, feature space, and model design. We propose a concise paradigm by progressively adjusting label space and dividing the head classes and tail classes. Our proposed model also provides a feature evaluation method and paves the way for long-tailed feature learning.

  We propose interpolative centroid contrastive learning (ICCL) to improve long-tailed representation learning. ICCL interpolates two images from a class-agnostic sampler and a class-aware sampler, and trains the model such that the representation of the ICCL can be used to retrieve the centroids for both source classes. Our result shows a significant accuracy gain of 2.8% on the iNaturalist 2018 dataset with a real-world long-tailed distribution.

Our main contribution is a new training method, that leverages knowledge distillation to enhance feature representations.
