Abstract

Zero-shot cross-modal retrieval (ZS-CMR) deals with the retrieval problem among heterogenous data from unseen classes. Typically, to guarantee generalization, the pre-defined class embeddings from natural language processing (NLP) models are used to build a common space. In this paper, instead of using an extra NLP model to define a common space beforehand, we consider a totally different way to construct (or learn) a common hamming space from an information-theoretic perspective. We term our model the Information-Theoretic Hashing (ITH), which is composed of two cascading modules: an Adaptive Information Aggregation (AIA) module; and a Semantic Preserving Encoding (SPE) module. Specifically, our AIA module takes the inspiration from the Principle of Relevant Information (PRI) to construct a common space that adaptively aggregates the intrinsic semantics of different modalities of data and filters out redundant or irrelevant information. On the other hand, our SPE module further genera
