Abstract

Zero-Shot Learning (ZSL) aims at recognizing unseen classes that are absent during the training stage. Unlike the existing approaches that learn a visual-semantic embedding model to bridge the low-level visual space and the high-level class prototype space, we propose a novel synthesized approach for addressing ZSL within a dictionary learning framework. Specifically, it learns both a dictionary matrix and a class-specific encoding matrix for each seen class to synthesize pseudo instances for unseen classes with auxiliary of seen class prototypes. This allows us to train the classifiers for the unseen classes with these pseudo instances. In this way, ZSL can be treated as a traditional classification task, which makes it applicable for traditional and generalized ZSL settings simultaneously. Extensive experimental results on four benchmark datasets (AwA, CUB, aPY, and SUN) demonstrate that our method yields competitive performances compared to state-of-the-art methods on both settings.
