Unsupervised Content Mining in CBIR: Harnessing Latent Diffusion for Complex Text-Based Query Interpretation.

The paper demonstrates a novel methodology for Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), which shifts the focus from conventional domain-specific image queries to more complex text-based query processing. Latent diffusion models are employed to interpret complex textual prompts and address the requirements of effectively interpreting the complex textual query. Latent Diffusion models successfully transform complex textual queries into visually engaging representations, establishing a seamless connection between textual descriptions and visual content.

Zero-Shot Sketch-Based Image Retrieval Using StyleGen and Stacked Siamese Neural Networks.

Sketch-based image retrieval (SBIR) refers to a sub-class of content-based image retrieval problems where the input queries are ambiguous sketches and the retrieval repository is a database of natural images. In the zero-shot setup of SBIR, the query sketches are drawn from classes that do not match any of those that were used in model building. The SBIR task is extremely challenging as it is a cross-domain retrieval problem, unlike content-based image retrieval problems because sketches and images have a huge domain gap.
