• Abstract summary: We develop a framework for a universal feature extractor that provides strong semantic image representations across various domains. We achieve near state-of-the-art results on the Google Universal Image Embedding Challenge, with a mMP@5 of 0.721. Compared to methods with similar computational requirements, we outperform the previous state of the art by 3.3 percentage points.

• Abstract: Current image retrieval systems often face domain specificity and generalization issues. This study aims to overcome these limitations by developing a computationally efficient training framework for a universal feature extractor that provides strong semantic image representations across various domains. To this end, we curated a multi-domain training dataset, called M4D-35k, which allows for resource-efficient training. Additionally, we conduct an extensive evaluation and comparison of various state-of-the-art visual-semantic foundation models and margin-based metric learning loss functions regarding their suitability for efficient universal feature extraction. Despite constrained computational resources, we achieve near state-of-the-art results on the Google Universal Image Embedding Challenge, with a mMP@5 of 0.721. This places our method at the second rank on the leaderboard, just 0.7 percentage points behind the best performing method. However, our model has 32% fewer overall parameters and 289 times fewer trainable parameters. Compared to methods with similar computational requirements, we outperform the previous state of the art by 3.3 percentage points. We release our code and M4D-35k training set annotations at https://github.com/morrisfl/UniFEx.

  In the context of few-shot classification, the goal is to train a classifier using a limited number of samples. Traditional metric-based methods exhibit certain limitations in achieving this objective. Our approach involves utilizing multi-output embedding network that maps samples into distinct feature spaces.

Then, we propose a classification scheme where images with the same attribute, albeit with different values, are categorized into the same class.

  We propose AugNet, a new deep learning training paradigm to learn image features from a collection of unlabeled pictures. Our experiments demonstrate that the method is able to represent the image in low dimensional space.

  We propose a more fundamental perspective for long-tailed recognition, i.e., from the aspect of parameter space. We design the effective residual fusion mechanism -- with one main branch optimized to recognize images from all classes, another two residual branches are gradually fused and optimized to enhance images from medium+tail classes and tail classes respectively. We test our method on several benchmarks, i.e., long-tailed version of CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, Places, ImageNet, and iNaturalist 2018.
