FLEX-CLIP: Feature-Level GEneration Network Enhanced CLIP for X-shot Cross-modal Retrieval

Given a query from one modality, few-shot cross-modal retrieval (CMR) retrieves semantically similar instances in another modality with the target domain including classes that are disjoint from the source domain. Compared with classical few-shot CMR methods, vision-language pretraining methods like CLIP have shown great few-shot or zero-shot learning performance. However, they still suffer challenges due to (1) the feature degradation encountered in the target domain and (2) the extreme data imbalance. To tackle these issues, we propose FLEX-CLIP, a novel Feature-level Generation Network Enhanced CLIP. FLEX-CLIP includes two training stages. In multimodal feature generation, we propose a composite multimodal VAE-GAN network to capture real feature distribution patterns and generate pseudo samples based on CLIP features, addressing data imbalance. For common space projection, we develop a gate residual network to fuse CLIP features with projected features, reducing feature degradation in X-shot scenarios. Experimental results on four benchmark datasets show a 7%-15% improvement over state-of-the-art methods, with ablation studies demonstrating enhancement of CLIP features.
