• Abstract: Deep supervised hashing is essential for efficient storage and search in large-scale image retrieval. Traditional deep supervised hashing models generate single-length hash codes, but this creates a trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness for different code lengths. To find the optimal length for a task, multiple models must be trained, increasing time and computation. Furthermore, relationships between hash codes of different lengths are often ignored. To address these issues, we propose the Nested Hash Layer (NHL), a plug-and-play module for deep supervised hashing models. NHL generates hash codes of multiple lengths simultaneously in a nested structure. To resolve optimization conflicts from multiple learning objectives, we introduce a dominance-aware dynamic weighting strategy to adjust gradients. Additionally, we propose a long-short cascade self-distillation method, where long hash codes guide the learning of shorter ones, improving overall code quality. Experiments indicate that the NHL achieves an overall training speed improvement of approximately 5 to 8 times across various deep supervised hashing models and enhances the average performance of these models by about 3.4%.

  Deep learning has shifted the retrieval paradigm from lexical-based matching to encode source code and queries into vector representations. Previous research proposes deep hashing-based methods, which generate hash codes for queries and code snippets and use Hamming distance for rapid recall of code candidates. We propose a novel approach, which converts long hash codes calculated by existing deep hashing approaches into several short hash code segments through an iterative training strategy.

• A Lower Bound of Hash Codes' Performance [122.88252443695492]
  In this paper, we prove that inter-class distinctiveness and intra-class compactness among hash codes determine the lower bound of hash codes' performance. We then propose a surrogate model to fully exploit the above objective by estimating the posterior of hash codes and controlling it, which results in a low-bias optimization. By testing on a series of hash-models, we obtain performance improvements among all of them, with an up to $26.5%$ increase in mean Average Precision and an up to $20.5%$ increase in accuracy.

  generative models, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), can generate synthetic data in an image hashing model. GANs are difficult to train, which prevents hashing approaches from jointly training the generative models and the hash functions. We propose a novel framework, the generative cooperative hashing network, which is based on energy-based cooperative learning.

  A deep hashing model typically has two main learning objectives: to make the learned binary hash codes discriminative and to minimize a quantization error. We propose a novel deep hashing model with only a single learning objective. Our model is highly effective, outperforming the state-of-the-art multi-loss hashing models on three large-scale instance retrieval benchmarks.

• Unsupervised Multi-Index Semantic Hashing [23.169142004594434]
  We propose an unsupervised hashing model that learns hash codes that are both effective and highly efficient by being optimized for multi-index hashing. We experimentally compare MISH to state-of-the-art semantic hashing baselines in the task of document similarity search. We find that even though multi-index hashing also improves the efficiency of the baselines compared to a linear scan, they are still upwards of 33% slower than MISH.

  This paper presents a novel supervised online hashing scheme, termed Fast Class-wise Updating for Online Hashing (FCOH) A class-wise updating method is developed to decompose the binary code learning and alternatively renew the hash functions in a class-wise fashion, which well addresses the burden on large amounts of training batches. To further achieve online efficiency, we propose a semi-relaxation optimization, which accelerates the online training by treating different binary constraints independently.

  Adversarial autoencoders are shown to be able to implicitly learn a robust, locality-preserving hash function that generates balanced and high-quality hash codes. The existing adversarial hashing methods are inefficient to be employed for large-scale image retrieval applications. We propose a new adversarial-autoencoder hashing approach that has a much lower sample requirement and computational cost.
