We present a novel counterfactual framework for both Zero-Shot Learning (ZSL) and Open-Set Recognition (OSR), whose common challenge is generalizing to the unseen-classes by only training on the seen-classes. Our idea stems from the observation that the generated samples for unseen-classes are often out of the true distribution, which causes severe recognition rate imbalance between the seen-class (high) and unseen-class (low). We show that the key reason is that the generation is not Counterfactual Faithful, and thus we propose a faithful one, whose generation is from the sample-specific counterfactual question: What would the sample look like, if we set its class attribute to a certain class, while keeping its sample attribute unchanged? Thanks to the faithfulness, we can apply the Consistency Rule to perform unseen/seen binary classification, by asking: Would its counterfactual still look like itself? If ``yes, the sample is from a certain class, and ``no otherwise. Through extensive experiments on ZSL and OSR, we demonstrate that our framework effectively mitigates the seen/unseen imbalance and hence significantly improves the overall performance. Note that this framework is orthogonal to existing methods, thus, it can serve as a new baseline to evaluate how ZSL/OSR models generalize.

In a regular open set detection problem, samples of known classes (also called closed set classes) are used to train a special classifier. In testing, the classifier can (1) classify the test samples of known classes to their respective classes and (
2) also detect samples that do not belong to any of the known classes (we say they belong to some unknown or open set classes). This paper studies the problem of zero-shot open-set detection, which still performs the same two tasks in testing but has no training except using the given known class names. This paper proposes a novel and yet simple method (called ZO-CLIP) to solve the problem. ZO-CLIP builds on top of the recent advances in zero-shot classification through multi-modal representation learning. It first extends the pre-trained multi-modal model CLIP by training a text-based image description generator on top of CLIP. In testing, it uses the extended model to generate some candidate unknown class names for each test sample and computes a confidence score based on both the known class names and candidate unknown class names for zero-shot open set detection. Experimental results on 5 benchmark datasets for open set detection confirm that ZO-CLIP outperforms the baselines by a large margin.
In zero-shot learning (ZSL), conditional generators have been widely used to generate additional training features. These features can then be used to train the classifiers for testing data. However, some testing data are considered hard as they lie
close to the decision boundaries and are prone to misclassification, leading to performance degradation for ZSL. In this paper, we propose to learn clusterable features for ZSL problems. Using a Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE) as the feature generator, we project the original features to a new feature space supervised by an auxiliary classification loss. To further increase clusterability, we fine-tune the features using Gaussian similarity loss. The clusterable visual features are not only more suitable for CVAE reconstruction but are also more separable which improves classification accuracy. Moreover, we introduce Gaussian noise to enlarge the intra-class variance of the generated features, which helps to improve the classifiers robustness. Our experiments on SUN,CUB, and AWA2 datasets show consistent improvement over previous state-of-the-art ZSL results by a large margin. In addition to its effectiveness on zero-shot classification, experiments show that our method to increase feature clusterability benefits few-shot learning algorithms as well.
This paper addresses the task of learning an image clas-sifier when some categories are defined by semantic descriptions only (e.g. visual attributes) while the others are defined by exemplar images as well. This task is often referred to as the Zero
-Shot classification task (ZSC). Most of the previous methods rely on learning a common embedding space allowing to compare visual features of unknown categories with semantic descriptions. This paper argues that these approaches are limited as i) efficient discrimi-native classifiers cant be used ii) classification tasks with seen and unseen categories (Generalized Zero-Shot Classification or GZSC) cant be addressed efficiently. In contrast , this paper suggests to address ZSC and GZSC by i) learning a conditional generator using seen classes ii) generate artificial training examples for the categories without exemplars. ZSC is then turned into a standard supervised learning problem. Experiments with 4 generative models and 5 datasets experimentally validate the approach, giving state-of-the-art results on both ZSC and GZSC.
Searching for small objects in large images is a task that is both challenging for current deep learning systems and important in numerous real-world applications, such as remote sensing and medical imaging. Thorough scanning of very large images is
computationally expensive, particularly at resolutions sufficient to capture small objects. The smaller an object of interest, the more likely it is to be obscured by clutter or otherwise deemed insignificant. We examine these issues in the context of two complementary problems: closed-set object detection and open-set target search. First, we present a method for predicting pixel-level objectness from a low resolution gist image, which we then use to select regions for performing object detection locally at high resolution. This approach has the benefit of not being fixed to a predetermined grid, thereby requiring fewer costly high-resolution glimpses than existing methods. Second, we propose a novel strategy for open-set visual search that seeks to find all instances of a target class which may be previously unseen and is defined by a single image. We interpret both detection problems through a probabilistic, Bayesian lens, whereby the objectness maps produced by our method serve as priors in a maximum-a-posteriori approach to the detection step. We evaluate the end-to-end performance of both the combination of our patch selection strategy with this target search approach and the combination of our patch selection strategy with standard object detection methods. Both elements of our approach are seen to significantly outperform baseline strategies.
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) for image classification focuses on recognizing novel categories that have no labeled data available for training. The learning is generally carried out with the help of mid-level semantic descriptors associated with each cla
ss. This semantic-descriptor space is generally shared by both seen and unseen categories. However, ZSL suffers from hubness, domain discrepancy and biased-ness towards seen classes. To tackle these problems, we propose a three-step approach to zero-shot learning. Firstly, a mapping is learned from the semantic-descriptor space to the image-feature space. This mapping learns to minimize both one-to-one and pairwise distances between semantic embeddings and the image features of the corresponding classes. Secondly, we propose test-time domain adaptation to adapt the semantic embedding of the unseen classes to the test data. This is achieved by finding correspondences between the semantic descriptors and the image features. Thirdly, we propose scaled calibration on the classification scores of the seen classes. This is necessary because the ZSL model is biased towards seen classes as the unseen classes are not used in the training. Finally, to validate the proposed three-step approach, we performed experiments on four benchmark datasets where the proposed method outperformed previous results. We also studied and analyzed the performance of each component of our proposed ZSL framework.
