Title
Zero-Shot Learning with Multi-Battery Factor Analysis.
Abstract
This paper presents a novel zero-shot learning approach by embedding multiple types of information into one unified semantic space, which fully utilizes their interrelations.This paper develops an advanced multi-view embedding algorithm named Multi-Battery Factor Analysis (MBFA).The closed-form solution makes the proposed MBFA-ZSL simple to implement and efficient to run on large datasets.Extensive experiments on three popular datasets validate the superiority and promise of MBFA-ZSL approach. Zero-shot learning (ZSL) extends the conventional image classification technique to a more challenging situation where the testing image categories are not seen in the training samples. Most studies on ZSL utilize side information such as attributes or word vectors to bridge the relations between the seen classes and the unseen classes. However, existing approaches on ZSL typically exploit a shared space for each type of side information independently, which cannot make full use of the complementary knowledge of different types of side information. To this end, this paper presents an MBFA-ZSL approach to embed different types of side information as well as the visual feature into one shared space. Specifically, we first develop an algorithm named Multi-Battery Factor Analysis (MBFA) to build a unified semantic space, and then employ multiple types of side information in it to achieve the ZSL. The close-form solution makes MBFA-ZSL simple to implement and efficient to run on large datasets. Extensive experiments on the popular AwA, CUB, and SUN datasets show its superiority over the state-of-the-art approaches.
