Cross-modal retrieval has become a highlighted research topic for retrieval across multimedia data such as image and text. A two-stage learning framework is widely adopted by most existing methods based on Deep Neural Network (DNN): The first learning stage is to generate separate representation for each modality, and the second learning stage is to get the cross-modal common representation. However, the existing methods have three limitations: (1) In the first learning stage, they only model intra-modality correlation, but ignore inter-modality correlation with rich complementary context. (2) In the second learning stage, they only adopt shallow networks with single-loss regularization, but ignore the intrinsic relevance of intra-modality and inter-modality correlation. (3) Only original instances are considered while the complementary fine-grained clues provided by their patches are ignored. For addressing the above problems, this paper proposes a cross-modal correlation learning (CCL) approach with multi-grained fusion by hierarchical network, and the contributions are as follows: (1) In the first learning stage, CCL exploits multi-level association with joint optimization to preserve the complementary context from intra-modality and inter-modality correlation simultaneously. (2) In the second learning stage, a multi-task learning strategy is designed to adaptively balance the intra-modality semantic category constraints and inter-modality pairwise similarity constraints. (3) CCL adopts multi-grained modeling, which fuses the coarse-grained instances and fine-grained patches to make cross-modal correlation more precise. Comparing with 13 state-of-the-art methods on 6 widely-used cross-modal datasets, the experimental results show our CCL approach achieves the best performance.
Deep learning has shown its strong power in modeling non-linear correlation, and achieved state-of-the-art performance in some applications of single-modal scenario, such as object detection @cite_27 @cite_26 and image video classification @cite_0 @cite_20 . Inspired by this, researchers attempt to model the complex cross-modal correlation with DNN, and the existing methods can be divided into two learning stages. is to generate separate representation for each modality. And is to learn common representation, which is the main focus of most existing methods based on DNN @cite_29 @cite_25 . We briefly introduce some representative cross-modal retrieval methods based on DNN as follows:

We present region-based, fully convolutional networks for accurate and efficient object detection. In contrast to previous region-based detectors such as Fast Faster R-CNN that apply a costly per-region subnetwork hundreds of times, our region-based detector is fully convolutional with almost all computation shared on the entire image. To achieve this goal, we propose position-sensitive score maps to address a dilemma between translation-invariance in image classification and translation-variance in object detection. Our method can thus naturally adopt fully convolutional image classifier backbones, such as the latest Residual Networks (ResNets), for object detection. We show competitive results on the PASCAL VOC datasets (e.g., 83.6 mAP on the 2007 set) with the 101-layer ResNet. Meanwhile, our result is achieved at a test-time speed of 170ms per image, 2.5-20x faster than the Faster R-CNN counterpart. Code is made publicly available at: this https URL The problem of cross-modal retrieval, e.g., using a text query to search for images and vice-versa, is considered in this paper. A novel model involving correspondence autoencoder (Corr-AE) is proposed here for solving this problem. The model is constructed by correlating hidden representations of two uni-modal autoencoders. A novel optimal objective, which minimizes a linear combination of representation learning errors for each modality and correlation learning error between hidden representations of two modalities, is used to train the model as a whole. Minimization of correlation learning error forces the model to learn hidden representations with only common information in different modalities, while minimization of representation learning error makes hidden representations are good enough to reconstruct input of each modality. A parameter @math is used to balance the representation learning error and the correlation learning error. Based on two different multi-modal autoencoders, Corr-AE is extended to other two correspondence models, here we called Corr-Cross-AE and Corr-Full-AE. The proposed models are evaluated on three publicly available data sets from real scenes. We demonstrate that the three correspondence autoencoders perform significantly better than three canonical correlation analysis based models and two popular multi-modal deep models on cross-modal retrieval tasks. Deeper neural networks are more difficult to train. We present a residual learning framework to ease the training of networks that are substantially deeper than those used previously. We explicitly reformulate the layers as learning residual functions with reference to the layer inputs, instead of learning unreferenced functions. We provide comprehensive empirical evidence showing that these residual networks are easier to optimize, and can gain accuracy from considerably increased depth. On the ImageNet dataset we evaluate residual nets with a depth of up to 152 layers---8x deeper than VGG nets but still having lower complexity. An ensemble of these residual nets achieves 3.57 error on the ImageNet test set. This result won the 1st place on the ILSVRC 2015 classification task. We also present analysis on CIFAR-10 with 100 and 1000 layers. The depth of representations is of central importance for many visual recognition tasks. Solely due to our extremely deep representations, we obtain a 28 relative improvement on the COCO object detection dataset. Deep residual nets are foundations of our submissions to ILSVRC & COCO 2015 competitions, where we also won the 1st places on the tasks of ImageNet detection, ImageNet localization, COCO detection, and COCO segmentation. We propose a Deep Belief Network architecture for learning a joint representation of multimodal data. The model denes a probability distribution over the space of multimodal inputs and allows sampling from the conditional distributions over each data modality. This makes it possible for the model to create a multimodal representation even when some data modalities are missing. Our experimental results on bi-modal data consisting of images and text show that the Multimodal DBN can learn a good generative model of the joint space of image and text inputs that is useful for lling in missing data so it can be used both for image annotation and image retrieval. We further demonstrate that using the representation discovered by the Multimodal DBN our model can significantly outperform SVMs and LDA on discriminative tasks.
