Researchers have developed GTR+, an unsupervised framework for text-based person search (TBPS) that retrieves images based on natural language descriptions without requiring manually annotated image-text pairs. The framework employs a tiered description generation process, starting with automated question-answering for basic attributes, enhancing detail through inter-sample contrast, and enriching diversity with stylized expansion. To address potential noise from generated text, GTR+ uses an adaptive confidence-weighted retrieval learning approach, modeling image-text pairs as clean or noisy to assign appropriate weights during training. Additionally, the project introduces LargeFine-Person, a large-scale dataset designed for unsupervised TBPS pre-training, which has demonstrated the effectiveness and generalization capabilities of both GTR+ and the dataset across multiple benchmarks.
