Problems solved by technology

Traditional image classification needs to provide labeled training samples for all categories during the training phase. On the one hand, with the development of information multimedia technology, the number and types of images have increased greatly, and manual labeling has a huge workload and low efficiency. High requirements; on the other hand, for some rare categories, training samples are often difficult to obtain

Embodiment Construction

[0031] A zero-shot classification method based on category transfer of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0032] A zero-shot classification method based on category transfer of the present invention starts from the perspective of classifier learning, and uses sample semantic relations to realize knowledge transfer between different category classifiers, so that the known category classifiers learned in the training stage can be used Make reasonable label predictions for samples of unknown classes.

[0033] The invention is suitable for solving the problem of cross-modal zero-sample learning. The present invention represents features from two different modalities with visual features and semantic features, with X=[x 1 ,...,x i ,...,x N ]∈R p×N Represents the visual feature space of N samples from C known categories in the training phase, where p represents the dimension of visual feature...

Abstract

A zero-sample classifying method based on class transfer comprises the steps of acquiring a vision characteristic of C kinds of training samples, a class semantic characteristic of the training sampleand a true label matrix; calculating a semantic similarity matrix by means of cosine similarity or Gaussian similarity through the class semantic characteristic; calculating a diagonal matrix of a class semantic similarity matrix; calling a Sylvester equation in an MATLAB toolset for obtaining a mapping matrix; inputting the vision characteristic of the training sample, the corresponding class semantic characteristic and the true label matrix into a target function, continuously adjusting the value of a model regularization parameter, calculating the least value of the target function, and finishing model training; and in a testing period, inputting the vision characteristic of the testing sample and the corresponding semantic characteristic, calculating scores of the classes, and determining the class with highest score as the predicated class of the testing sample. The zero-sample classifying method based on class transfer has advantages of sufficiently digging the semantic relationbetween different classes, realizing knowledge transfer between a known class classifier and an unknown class classifier, and realizing high convenience in application in image classification.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a zero-sample classification method. In particular, it concerns a class-transfer-based zero-shot classification method that enables knowledge transfer from known to unknown classes. Background technique [0002] Image classification technology plays an important role in obtaining image information quickly and accurately. Traditional image classification needs to provide labeled training samples for all categories during the training phase. On the one hand, with the development of information and multimedia technology, the number and types of images have increased greatly, and the workload of manual labeling is huge, and the efficiency is low. The requirements are high; on the other hand, for some rare categories, training samples are often difficult to obtain. Therefore, it is unrealistic to provide manually labeled training samples for all target categories. How to solve the classification problem of target categories withou...
