Ranking-based Deep Cross-modal Hashing
Cross-modal hashing has been receiving increasing interests for its low
storage cost and fast query speed in multi-modal data retrievals. However, most
existing hashing methods are based on hand-crafted or raw level features of
objects, which may not be optimally compatible with the coding process.
Besides, these hashing methods are mainly designed to handle simple pairwise
similarity. The complex multilevel ranking semantic structure of instances
associated with multiple labels has not been well explored yet. In this paper,
we propose a ranking-based deep cross-modal hashing approach (RDCMH). RDCMH
firstly uses the feature and label information of data to derive a
semi-supervised semantic ranking list. Next, to expand the semantic
representation power of hand-crafted features, RDCMH integrates the semantic
ranking information into deep cross-modal hashing and jointly optimizes the
compatible parameters of deep feature representations and of hashing functions.
Experiments on real multi-modal datasets show that RDCMH outperforms other
competitive baselines and achieves the state-of-the-art performance in
cross-modal retrieval applications
Structure fusion based on graph convolutional networks for semi-supervised classification
Suffering from the multi-view data diversity and complexity for
semi-supervised classification, most of existing graph convolutional networks
focus on the networks architecture construction or the salient graph structure
preservation, and ignore the the complete graph structure for semi-supervised
classification contribution. To mine the more complete distribution structure
from multi-view data with the consideration of the specificity and the
commonality, we propose structure fusion based on graph convolutional networks
(SF-GCN) for improving the performance of semi-supervised classification.
SF-GCN can not only retain the special characteristic of each view data by
spectral embedding, but also capture the common style of multi-view data by
distance metric between multi-graph structures. Suppose the linear relationship
between multi-graph structures, we can construct the optimization function of
structure fusion model by balancing the specificity loss and the commonality
loss. By solving this function, we can simultaneously obtain the fusion
spectral embedding from the multi-view data and the fusion structure as
adjacent matrix to input graph convolutional networks for semi-supervised
classification. Experiments demonstrate that the performance of SF-GCN
outperforms that of the state of the arts on three challenging datasets, which
are Cora,Citeseer and Pubmed in citation networks
Learning compact hashing codes with complex objectives from multiple sources for large scale similarity search
Similarity search is a key problem in many real world applications including image and text retrieval, content reuse detection and collaborative filtering. The purpose of similarity search is to identify similar data examples given a query example. Due to the explosive growth of the Internet, a huge amount of data such as texts, images and videos has been generated, which indicates that efficient large scale similarity search becomes more important.^ Hashing methods have become popular for large scale similarity search due to their computational and memory efficiency. These hashing methods design compact binary codes to represent data examples so that similar examples are mapped into similar codes. This dissertation addresses five major problems for utilizing supervised information from multiple sources in hashing with respect to different objectives. Firstly, we address the problem of incorporating semantic tags by modeling the latent correlations between tags and data examples. More precisely, the hashing codes are learned in a unified semi-supervised framework by simultaneously preserving the similarities between data examples and ensuring the tag consistency via a latent factor model. Secondly, we solve the missing data problem by latent subspace learning from multiple sources. The hashing codes are learned by enforcing the data consistency among different sources. Thirdly, we address the problem of hashing on structured data by graph learning. A weighted graph is constructed based on the structured knowledge from the data. The hashing codes are then learned by preserving the graph similarities. Fourthly, we address the problem of learning high ranking quality hashing codes by utilizing the relevance judgments from users. The hashing code/function is learned via optimizing a commonly used non-smooth non-convex ranking measure, NDCG. Finally, we deal with the problem of insufficient supervision by active learning. We propose to actively select the most informative data examples and tags in a joint manner based on the selection criteria that both the data examples and tags should be most uncertain and dissimilar with each other.^ Extensive experiments on several large scale datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approaches over several state-of-the-art hashing methods from different perspectives
