FSL-Rectifier: Rectify Outliers in Few-Shot Learning via Test-Time Augmentation

AAAI 2025technical

Few-shot learning (FSL) commonly requires a model to identify images (queries) that belong to classes unseen during training, based on a few labelled samples of the new classes (support set) as reference. So far, plenty of algorithms involve training data augmentation to improve the generalization c…

GenZSL: Generative Zero-Shot Learning Via Inductive Variational Autoencoder

ICML 2025poster

Remarkable progress in zero-shot learning (ZSL) has been achieved using generative models. However, existing generative ZSL methods merely generate (imagine) the visual features from scratch guided by the strong class semantic vectors annotated by experts, resulting in suboptimal generative performa…

Interpretable Zero-Shot Learning with Locally-Aligned Vision-Language Model

ICCV 2025poster

Large-scale vision-language models (VLMs), such as CLIP, have achieved remarkable success in zero-shot learning (ZSL) by leveraging large-scale visual-text pair datasets. However, these methods often lack interpretability, as they compute the similarity between an entire query image and the embedded…

ZeroDiff: Solidified Visual-semantic Correlation in Zero-Shot Learning

ICLR 2025poster

Zero-shot Learning (ZSL) aims to enable classifiers to identify unseen classes. This is typically achieved by generating visual features for unseen classes based on learned visual-semantic correlations from seen classes. However, most current generative approaches heavily rely on having a sufficient…

ZeroMamba: Exploring Visual State Space Model for Zero-Shot Learning

AAAI 2025technical

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to recognize unseen classes by transferring semantic knowledge from seen classes to unseen ones, guided by semantic information. To this end, existing works have demonstrated remarkable performance by utilizing global visual features from Convolutional Neural Networks (…

Improving Non-Transferable Representation Learning by Harnessing Content and Style

ICLR 2024spotlight

Non-transferable learning (NTL) aims to restrict the generalization of models toward the target domain(s). To this end, existing works learn non-transferable representations by reducing statistical dependence between the source and target domain. However, such statistical methods essentially neglect…

Progressive Semantic-Guided Vision Transformer for Zero-Shot Learning

CVPR 2024poster

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) recognizes the unseen classes by conducting visual-semantic interactions to transfer semantic knowledge from seen classes to unseen ones supported by semantic information (e.g. attributes). However existing ZSL methods simply extract visual features using a pre-trained netwo…

Visual-Augmented Dynamic Semantic Prototype for Generative Zero-Shot Learning

CVPR 2024poster

Generative Zero-shot learning (ZSL) learns a generator to synthesize visual samples for unseen classes which is an effective way to advance ZSL. However existing generative methods rely on the conditions of Gaussian noise and the predefined semantic prototype which limit the generator only optimized…

Both Diverse and Realism Matter: Physical Attribute and Style Alignment for Rainy Image Generation

ICCV 2023poster

Although considerable progress has been made in the deraining task under synthetic data, it is still a tough problem under real rain scenes, due to the domain gap between the synthetic and real data. Besides, difficulties in collecting and labeling diverse real rain images hinder the progress of thi…

Evolving Semantic Prototype Improves Generative Zero-Shot Learning

ICML 2023poster

In zero-shot learning (ZSL), generative methods synthesize class-related sample features based on predefined semantic prototypes. They advance the ZSL performance by synthesizing unseen class sample features for better training the classifier. We observe that each class's predefined semantic prototy…

MSDN: Mutually Semantic Distillation Network for Zero-Shot Learning

CVPR 2022poster

The key challenge of zero-shot learning (ZSL) is how to infer the latent semantic knowledge between visual and attribute features on seen classes, and thus achieving a desirable knowledge transfer to unseen classes. Prior works either simply align the global features of an image with its associated…

Semantic Compression Embedding for Generative Zero-Shot Learning

IJCAI 2022poster

Generative methods have been successfully applied in zero-shot learning (ZSL) by learning an implicit mapping to alleviate the visual-semantic domain gaps and synthesizing unseen samples to handle the data imbalance between seen and unseen classes. However, existing generative methods simply use vis…

TransZero: Attribute-Guided Transformer for Zero-Shot Learning

AAAI 2022technical

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to recognize novel classes by transferring semantic knowledge from seen classes to unseen ones. Semantic knowledge is learned from attribute descriptions shared between different classes, which are strong prior for localization of object attribute for representing discr…

FREE: Feature Refinement for Generalized Zero-Shot Learning

ICCV 2021poster

Generalized zero-shot learning (GZSL) has achieved significant progress, with many efforts dedicated to overcoming the problems of visual-semantic domain gaps and seen-unseen bias. However, most existing methods directly use feature extraction models trained on ImageNet alone, ignoring the cross-dat…
