Adaptive Relation-Aware Network for zero-shot classification.

Supervised learning-based image classification in computer vision relies on visual samples containing a large amount of labeled information. Considering that it is labor-intensive to collect and label images and construct datasets manually, Zero-Shot Learning (ZSL) achieves knowledge transfer from seen categories to unseen categories by mining auxiliary information, which reduces the dependence on labeled image samples and is one of the current research hotspots in computer vision. However, most ZSL methods fail to properly measure the relationships between classes, or do not consider the differences and similarities between classes at all.

Zero-Shot Learning With Attentive Region Embedding and Enhanced Semantics.

The performance of zero-shot learning (ZSL) can be improved progressively by learning better features and generating pseudosamples for unseen classes. Existing ZSL works typically learn feature extractors and generators independently, which may shift the unseen samples away from their real distribution and suffers from the domain bias problem. In this article, to tackle this challenge, we propose a variational autoencoder (VAE)-based framework, that is, joint Attentive Region Embedding with Enhanced Semantics (AREES), which is tailored to advance the zero-shot recognition.
