• DUET: Cross-modal Semantic Grounding for Contrastive Zero-shot Learning

In this paper, we present a transformer-based end-to-end ZSL method named DUET, which integrates latent semantic knowledge from the pre-trained language models (PLMs) via a self-supervised multi-modal learning paradigm. Specifically, we (1) developed a cross-modal semantic grounding network to investigate the model's capability of disentangling semantic attributes from the images; (2) applied an attribute-level contrastive learning strategy to further enhance the model's discrimination on fine-grained visual characteristics against the attribute co-occurrence and imbalance; (3) proposed a multi-task learning policy for considering multi-model objectives.

• Due to the page and format restrictions set by AAAI publications, we have omitted some details and appendix content. For the complete version of the paper, including the selection of prompts and experiment details, please refer to our arXiv version.
