Structure propagation for zero-shot learning
The key of zero-shot learning (ZSL) is how to find the information transfer
model for bridging the gap between images and semantic information (texts or
attributes). Existing ZSL methods usually construct the compatibility function
between images and class labels with the consideration of the relevance on the
semantic classes (the manifold structure of semantic classes). However, the
relationship of image classes (the manifold structure of image classes) is also
very important for the compatibility model construction. It is difficult to
capture the relationship among image classes due to unseen classes, so that the
manifold structure of image classes often is ignored in ZSL. To complement each
other between the manifold structure of image classes and that of semantic
classes information, we propose structure propagation (SP) for improving the
performance of ZSL for classification. SP can jointly consider the manifold
structure of image classes and that of semantic classes for approximating to
the intrinsic structure of object classes. Moreover, the SP can describe the
constrain condition between the compatibility function and these manifold
structures for balancing the influence of the structure propagation iteration.
The SP solution provides not only unseen class labels but also the relationship
of two manifold structures that encode the positive transfer in structure
propagation. Experimental results demonstrate that SP can attain the promising
results on the AwA, CUB, Dogs and SUN databases
Data-Driven Shape Analysis and Processing
Data-driven methods play an increasingly important role in discovering
geometric, structural, and semantic relationships between 3D shapes in
collections, and applying this analysis to support intelligent modeling,
editing, and visualization of geometric data. In contrast to traditional
approaches, a key feature of data-driven approaches is that they aggregate
information from a collection of shapes to improve the analysis and processing
of individual shapes. In addition, they are able to learn models that reason
about properties and relationships of shapes without relying on hard-coded
rules or explicitly programmed instructions. We provide an overview of the main
concepts and components of these techniques, and discuss their application to
shape classification, segmentation, matching, reconstruction, modeling and
exploration, as well as scene analysis and synthesis, through reviewing the
literature and relating the existing works with both qualitative and numerical
comparisons. We conclude our report with ideas that can inspire future research
in data-driven shape analysis and processing.Comment: 10 pages, 19 figure
