Advancing Image Retrieval With Few-shot Learning And Relevance Feedback

Abstract

With such a massive growth in the number of images stored, efficient search in a database has become a crucial endeavor managed by image retrieval systems. Image Retrieval with Relevance Feedback (IRRF) involves iterative human interaction during the retrieval process, yielding more meaningful outcomes. This process can be generally cast as a binary classification problem with only \{\it few\} labeled samples derived from user feedback. The IRRF task frames a unique few-shot learning characteristics including binary classification of imbalanced and asymmetric classes, all in an open-set regime. In this paper, we study this task through the lens of few-shot learning methods. We propose a new scheme based on a hyper-network, that is tailored to the task and facilitates swift adjustment to user feedback. Our approach's efficacy is validated through comprehensive evaluations on multiple benchmarks and two supplementary tasks, supported by theoretical analysis. We demonstrate the advantage
