• Abstract: This work addresses composed image retrieval in the context of domain conversion, where the content of a query image is retrieved in the domain specified by the query text. We show that a strong vision-language model provides sufficient descriptive power without additional training. The query image is mapped to the text input space using textual inversion. Unlike common practice that invert in the continuous space of text tokens, we use the discrete word space via a nearest-neighbor search in a text vocabulary. With this inversion, the image is softly mapped across the vocabulary and is made more robust using retrieval-based augmentation. Database images are retrieved by a weighted ensemble of text queries combining mapped words with the domain text. Our method outperforms prior art by a large margin on standard and newly introduced benchmarks. Code: https://github.com/NikosEfth/freedom

  We study the zero-shot Composed Image Retrieval (ZS-CIR) task, which is to retrieve the target image given a reference image and a description without training on the triplet datasets. Previous works generate pseudo-word tokens by projecting the reference image features to the text embedding space. We propose a Knowledge-Enhanced Dual-stream zero-shot composed image retrieval framework (KEDs) KEDs implicitly models the attributes of the reference images by incorporating a database.

  Existing text-based person retrieval datasets often have relatively coarse-grained text annotations. This hinders the model to comprehend the fine-grained semantics of query texts in real scenarios. We contribute a new benchmark named textbfUFineBench for text-based person retrieval with ultra-fine granularity.

  A critical challenge to image-text retrieval is how to learn accurate correspondences between images and texts. We propose a Scene Graph based Fusion Network (dubbed SGFN) which enhances the images'/texts' features through intra- and cross-modal fusion. Our SGFN performs better than quite a few SOTA image-text retrieval methods.

• Scene Text Retrieval via Joint Text Detection and Similarity Learning [68.24531728554892]
  Scene text retrieval aims to localize and search all text instances from an image gallery, which are the same or similar to a given query text. We address this problem by directly learning a cross-modal similarity between a query text and each text instance from natural images. In this way, scene text retrieval can be simply performed by ranking the detected text instances with the learned similarity.

• Telling the What while Pointing the Where: Fine-grained Mouse Trace and Language Supervision for Improved Image Retrieval [60.24860627782486]
  Fine-grained image retrieval often requires the ability to also express the where in the image the content they are looking for is. In this paper, we describe an image retrieval setup where the user simultaneously describes an image using both spoken natural language (the "what") and mouse traces over an empty canvas (the "where") Our model is capable of taking this spatial guidance into account, and provides more accurate retrieval results compared to text-only equivalent systems.

  We build on the concept of image manifold to represent the feature space of images, learned via neural networks, as a graph. We augment the manifold samples with geometrically aligned text, thereby using a plethora of sentences to teach us about images. The experimental results show that the joint embedding manifold is a robust representation, allowing it to be a better basis to perform image retrieval.
