S3ACH: Semi-Supervised Semantic Adaptive Cross-Modal Hashing

EasyChair Preprint 11136

Abstract

Hash learning has been a great success in large-scale data retrieval field because of its superior retrieval efficiency and storage consumption. However, labels for large-scale data are difficult to obtain, thus supervised learning-based hashing methods are no longer applicable. In this paper, we introduce a method called Semi-supervised Semantic Adaptive Cross-modal Hashing (S3ACH), which improves performance of unsupervised hash retrieval by exploiting a small amount of available label information. Specifically, we first propose a higher-order dynamic weight public space collaborative computing method, which balances the contribution of different modalities in the common potential space by invoking adaptive higher-order dynamic variable. Then, less available label information is utilized to enhance the semantics of hash codes. Finally, we propose a discrete optimization strategy to solve the quantization error brought by the relaxation strategy and improve the accuracy of hash code production. The results show that S3ACH achieves better effects than current advanced unsupervised methods and provides more applicable while balancing performance compared with the existing cross-modal hashing.
