Abstract

Unsupervised learning of feature representations is a challenging yet important problem for analyzing a large collection of multimedia data that do not have semantic labels. Recently proposed neural network-based unsupervised learning approaches have succeeded in obtaining features appropriate for classification of multimedia data. However, unsupervised learning of feature representations adapted to content-based matching, comparison, or retrieval of multimedia data has not been explored well. To obtain such retrieval-adapted features, we introduce the idea of combining diffusion distance on a feature manifold with neural network-based unsupervised feature learning. This idea is realized as a novel algorithm called DeepDiffusion (DD). DD simultaneously optimizes two components, a feature embedding by a deep neural network and a distance metric that leverages diffusion on a latent feature manifold, together. DD relies on its loss function but not encoder architecture. It can thus be app
