Relative Attributes 用于学习ranking function 来描述strength of the attribute. 多数当前的学习方法都是通过利用hand-crafted visual features对每个attribute学习到线性的ranking function.这篇论文我们提出 deep relative attributes (DRA)算法去学习 visual features ,并且得到描述成对图像相对属性的非线性 ranking function.这里 visual features 和 ranking function同时学习。DRA模型包含 5 convolutional neural layers, 5 fully connected layers, and a relative loss function which contains the contrastive constraint and the similar constraint corresponding to the ordered image pairs and the un-ordered image pairs,respectively.为了有效训练DRA,我们利用transferred knowledge from the large scale visual recognition on ImageNet.最后我们在3个数据集上进行实验,结果DRA确实比 the state-of-the-art relative attribute 学习方法要好一点。准确率提升 8%, 9%, and 14%。
当前许多相对属性的学习算法都是基于SVM框架的,得到的ranking score表示某属性相对其他图像的强度。相对属性学习算法的提升有一下三个方面:
1.Existing relative attribute methods rely on traditional hand-crafted features, such as gist descriptor , and color histogram ,which
