Probabilistic Zero-shot Classification with Semantic Rankings
share
In this paper we propose a non-metric ranking-based representation of semantic similarity that allows natural aggregation of semantic information from multiple heterogeneous sources. We apply the ranking-based representation to zero-shot learning problems, and present deterministic and probabilistic zero-shot classifiers which can be built from pre-trained classifiers without retraining. We demonstrate their the advantages on two large real-world image datasets. In particular, we show that aggregating different sources of semantic information, including crowd-sourcing, leads to more accurate classification.
