ABSTRACTRecent studies have verified the success of deep hashing for efficient image retrieval. However, most existing methods require abundant human labeling data to optimize the large number of involved network parameters, which consequently restricts the scalability of deep image hashing. Alternatively, learning from freely available web images that inherently include rich semantics is a promising strategy. Nevertheless, the domain distribution gap will prevent transferring the semantics involved in the source web images to the target images. Besides, most existing deep image hashing methods suffer from excessive training time to achieve satisfactory performance without explicit supervision. How to efficiently train the deep image hashing network is another important problem that needs to be seriously considered. In this paper, we propose a Webly Supervised Image Hashing (WSIH) with a well-designed lightweight network. Our model enhances the semantics of unsupervised image hashing with the weak supervision from freely available web images, and simultaneously avoids involving over-abundant parameters in the deep network architecture. Particularly, we train a concept prototype learning network on the web images, learning well-trained network parameters and the prototype codes that hold the discriminative semantics of the potential visual concepts in target images. Further, we meticulously design a lightweight siamese network architecture and a dual-level transfer mechanism to efficiently translate the semantics learned from source web images to the target images. Experiments on two widely-tested image datasets show the superiority of the proposed method in both retrieval accuracy and training efficiency compared to state-of-the-art image hashing methods.The source codes of our method are available at: https://github.com/christinecui/WSIH. |
