New framework SeCo-SBIR enhances zero-shot sketch-based image retrieval

Researchers have developed SeCo-SBIR, a novel framework designed to improve zero-shot sketch-based image retrieval (ZS-SBIR) by adapting CLIP models. This approach addresses the challenge of bridging the domain gap between sketches and photos without sacrificing the model's general zero-shot capabilities. SeCo-SBIR injects transferable semantic knowledge from CLIP's text encoder into its visual encoder and uses a consistency constraint to prevent overfitting, achieving state-of-the-art results on standard ZS-SBIR benchmarks.

    SeCo-SBIR: Semantically Consistent Prompt Learning for Zero-Shot Sketch-Based Image Retrieval

    Adapting CLIP for zero-shot sketch-based image retrieval (ZS-SBIR) via prompt learning faces a fundamental tension: the model must bridge the sketch-photo domain gap through task-specific adaptation, yet the added flexibility risks overfitting to seen training categories and erod…
