Title
Unsupervised Hashing with Gradient Attention.
Abstract
The existing learning-based unsupervised hashing method usually uses a pre-trained network to extract features, and then uses the extracted feature vectors to construct a similarity matrix which guides the generation of hash codes through gradient descent. Existing research shows that the algorithm based on gradient descent will cause the hash codes of the paired images to be updated toward each other's position during the training process. For unsupervised training, this situation will cause large fluctuations in the hash code during training and limit the learning efficiency of the hash code. In this paper, we propose a method named Deep Unsupervised Hashing with Gradient Attention (UHGA) to solve this problem. UHGA mainly includes the following contents: (1) use pre-trained network models to extract image features; (2) calculate the cosine distance of the corresponding features of the pair of images, and construct a similarity matrix through the cosine distance to guide the generation of hash codes; (3) a gradient attention mechanism is added during the training of the hash code to pay attention to the gradient. Experiments on two existing public datasets show that our proposed method can obtain more discriminating hash codes.
