Learning Invariant Visual Representations for CZSL

This repository provides dataset splits and code for Paper:

Learning Invariant Visual Representations for Compositional Zero-Shot Learning, ECCV 2022 Paper (arXiv)

We reconsider CZSL as an out-of-distribution generalization problem to improve the ability of the model to generalize to unknown compositions. If an object is treated as a domain, we can learn object-invariant features to recognize the attributes attached to any object reliably. Similarly, attribute-invariant features can also be learned when recognizing the objects with attributes as domains. By penalizing domain-specific power of features, we discover invariant mechanisms in the data which are hard to vary across examples and thus learn the optimal attribute classifier and object classifier.

Usage

1. Clone the repo.

2. We recommend using Anaconda for environment setup. To create the environment and activate it, please run:

    conda env create --file environment.yml
    conda activate czsl

3. The dataset and splits can be downloaded from: CZSL-dataset.

4. To run IVR for UT-Zappos dataset:

    Training:
    python train.py --config config/zappos.yml

    Testing:
    python test.py --logpath LOG_DIR

Note: Most of the code is an improvement based on https://github.com/ExplainableML/czsl.
