Traversing the Continuous Spectrum of Image Retrieval with Deep Dynamic Models
We introduce the first work to tackle the image retrieval problem as a continuous operation. While the proposed approaches in the literature can be roughly categorized into two main groups: category- and instance-based retrieval, in this work we show that the retrieval task is much richer and more complex. Image similarity goes beyond this discrete vantage point and spans a continuous spectrum among the classical operating points of category and instance similarity. However, current retrieval models are static and incapable of exploring this rich structure of the retrieval space since they are trained and evaluated with a single operating point as a target objective. Hence, we introduce a novel retrieval model that for a given query is capable of producing a dynamic embedding that can target an arbitrary point along the continuous retrieval spectrum. Our model disentangles the visual signal of a query image into its basic components of categorical and attribute information. Furthermore, using a continuous control parameter our model learns to reconstruct a dynamic embedding of the query by mixing these components with different proportions to target a specific point along the retrieval simplex. We demonstrate our idea in a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed model and highlight the advantages of our approach against a set of well-established discrete retrieval models.
