Multilabel Deep Visual-Semantic Embedding.

Abstract

Inspired by the great success from deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for single-label visual-semantic embedding, we exploit extending these models for multilabel images. We propose a new learning paradigm for multilabel image classification, in which labels are ranked according to its relevance to the input image. In contrast to conventional CNN models that learn a latent vector representation (i.e., the image embedding vector), the developed visual model learns a mapping (i.e., a transformation matrix) from an image in an attempt to differentiate between its relevant and irrelevant labels. Despite the conceptual simplicity of our approach, the proposed model achieves state-of-the-art results on three public benchmark datasets.
