Although ZSL has made great progress in recent years, most existing approaches are easy to overfit the sources classes in generalized zero-shot learning (GZSL) task, which indicates that they learn little knowledge about target classes. To tackle such problem, we propose a novel Transferable Contrastive Network (TCN) that explicitly transfers knowledge from the source classes to the target classes. It automatically contrasts one image with different classes to judge whether they are consistent or not. By exploiting the class similarities to make knowledge transfer from source images to similar target classes, our approach is more robust to recognize the target images. Experiments on five benchmark datasets show the superiority of our approach for GZSL.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.05832v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.05832v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"generalized-zero-shot-learning","task_name":"Generalized Zero-Shot Learning"},{"task_slug":"transfer-learning","task_name":"Transfer Learning"},{"task_slug":"zero-shot-learning","task_name":"Zero-Shot Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[{"leaderboard":"/sota/generalized-zero-shot-learning-on-sun","task":"Generalized Zero-Shot Learning","dataset":"SUN Attribute","model":"TCN","rank_in_archive_order":8,"of":9,"metrics":{"Harmonic mean":"34.0"},"uses_additional_data":false},{"leaderboard":"/sota/zero-shot-learning-on-cub-200-2011","task":"Zero-Shot Learning","dataset":"CUB-200-2011","model":"TCN","rank_in_archive_order":9,"of":14,"metrics":{"average top-1 classification accuracy":"59.5"},"uses_additional_data":false},{"leaderboard":"/sota/zero-shot-learning-on-sun-attribute","task":"Zero-Shot Learning","dataset":"SUN Attribute","model":"TCN","rank_in_archive_order":7,"of":9,"metrics":{"average top-1 classification accuracy":"61.5"},"uses_additional_data":false}],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1908.05832","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1908.05832","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
