Deep Discrete Hashing with Self-supervised Pairwise Labels
Hashing methods have been widely used for applications of large-scale image
retrieval and classification. Non-deep hashing methods using handcrafted
features have been significantly outperformed by deep hashing methods due to
their better feature representation and end-to-end learning framework. However,
the most striking successes in deep hashing have mostly involved discriminative
models, which require labels. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised
deep hashing method, named Deep Discrete Hashing (DDH), for large-scale image
retrieval and classification. In the proposed framework, we address two main
problems: 1) how to directly learn discrete binary codes? 2) how to equip the
binary representation with the ability of accurate image retrieval and
classification in an unsupervised way? We resolve these problems by introducing
an intermediate variable and a loss function steering the learning process,
which is based on the neighborhood structure in the original space.
Experimental results on standard datasets (CIFAR-10, NUS-WIDE, and Oxford-17)
demonstrate that our DDH significantly outperforms existing hashing methods by
large margin in terms of~mAP for image retrieval and object recognition. Code

Reflectance Hashing for Material Recognition
We introduce a novel method for using reflectance to identify materials.
Reflectance offers a unique signature of the material but is challenging to
measure and use for recognizing materials due to its high-dimensionality. In
this work, one-shot reflectance is captured using a unique optical camera
measuring {\it reflectance disks} where the pixel coordinates correspond to
surface viewing angles. The reflectance has class-specific stucture and angular
gradients computed in this reflectance space reveal the material class.
These reflectance disks encode discriminative information for efficient and
accurate material recognition. We introduce a framework called reflectance
hashing that models the reflectance disks with dictionary learning and binary
hashing. We demonstrate the effectiveness of reflectance hashing for material
recognition with a number of real-world materials
Deep Self-Taught Hashing for Image Retrieval
Hashing algorithm has been widely used to speed up image retrieval due to its compact binary code and fast distance calculation. The combination with deep learning boosts the performance of hashing by learning accurate representations and complicated hashing functions. So far, the most striking success in deep hashing have mostly involved discriminative models, which require labels. To apply deep hashing on datasets without labels, we propose a deep self-taught hashing algorithm (DSTH), which generates a set of pseudo labels by analyzing the data itself, and then learns the hash functions for novel data using discriminative deep models. Furthermore, we generalize DSTH to support both supervised and unsupervised cases by adaptively incorporating label information. We use two different deep learning framework to train the hash functions to deal with out-of-sample problem and reduce the time complexity without loss of accuracy. We have conducted extensive experiments to investigate different settings of DSTH, and compared it with state-of-the-art counterparts in six publicly available datasets. The experimental results show that DSTH outperforms the others in all datasets
Unsupervised Generative Adversarial Cross-modal Hashing
Cross-modal hashing aims to map heterogeneous multimedia data into a common
Hamming space, which can realize fast and flexible retrieval across different
modalities. Unsupervised cross-modal hashing is more flexible and applicable
than supervised methods, since no intensive labeling work is involved. However,
existing unsupervised methods learn hashing functions by preserving inter and
intra correlations, while ignoring the underlying manifold structure across
different modalities, which is extremely helpful to capture meaningful nearest
neighbors of different modalities for cross-modal retrieval. To address the
above problem, in this paper we propose an Unsupervised Generative Adversarial
Cross-modal Hashing approach (UGACH), which makes full use of GAN's ability for
unsupervised representation learning to exploit the underlying manifold
structure of cross-modal data. The main contributions can be summarized as
follows: (1) We propose a generative adversarial network to model cross-modal
hashing in an unsupervised fashion. In the proposed UGACH, given a data of one
modality, the generative model tries to fit the distribution over the manifold
structure, and select informative data of another modality to challenge the
discriminative model. The discriminative model learns to distinguish the
generated data and the true positive data sampled from correlation graph to
achieve better retrieval accuracy. These two models are trained in an
adversarial way to improve each other and promote hashing function learning.
(2) We propose a correlation graph based approach to capture the underlying
manifold structure across different modalities, so that data of different
modalities but within the same manifold can have smaller Hamming distance and
promote retrieval accuracy. Extensive experiments compared with 6
state-of-the-art methods verify the effectiveness of our proposed approach.Comment: 8 pages, accepted by 32th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
