Have you ever looked at an Instagram model, or a model in a fashion e-commerce web-page, and thought \textit{"Wish I could get a list of fashion items similar to the ones worn by the model!"}. This is what we address in this paper, where we…

Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) formulates image classification as an image-to-text matching task, i.e., matching images to the corresponding natural language descriptions instead of discrete category IDs. This allows for…

CLIP is a widely used foundational vision-language model that is used for zero-shot image recognition and other image-text alignment tasks. We demonstrate that CLIP is vulnerable to change in image quality under compression. This surprising…

Existing zero-shot product attribute value (aspect) extraction approaches in e-Commerce industry rely on uni-modal or multi-modal models, where the sellers are asked to provide detailed textual inputs (product descriptions) for the…

The continual learning setting aims to learn new tasks over time without forgetting the previous ones. The literature reports several significant efforts to tackle this problem with limited or no access to previous task data. Among such…

Large-scale Vision-Language Models, such as CLIP, learn powerful image-text representations that have found numerous applications, from zero-shot classification to text-to-image generation. Despite that, their capabilities for solving novel…

Recent advances in visual-language models have shown remarkable zero-shot text-image matching ability that is transferable to downstream tasks such as object detection and segmentation. Adapting these models for object counting, however,…

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to recognize unseen classes by leveraging semantic information from seen classes, but most existing methods assume accurate class labels for training instances. However, in real-world scenarios, noise and…

Medical image classification plays a crucial role in clinical decision-making, yet most models are constrained to a fixed set of predefined classes, limiting their adaptability to new conditions. Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining…

Multi-modal learning has become increasingly popular due to its ability to leverage information from different data sources (e.g., text and images) to improve the model performance. Recently, CLIP has emerged as an effective approach that…

The item cold-start problem is crucial for online recommender systems, as the success of the cold-start phase determines whether items can transition into popular ones. Prompt learning, a powerful technique used in natural language…

Training a referring expression comprehension (ReC) model for a new visual domain requires collecting referring expressions, and potentially corresponding bounding boxes, for images in the domain. While large-scale pre-trained models are…

We consider the problem of zero-shot one-class visual classification, extending traditional one-class classification to scenarios where only the label of the target class is available. This method aims to discriminate between positive and…

Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) models excel in zero-shot classification, yet face challenges in complex multi-object scenarios. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of CLIP's limitations in these contexts using a…

Recommendation plays a key role in e-commerce, enhancing user experience and boosting commercial success. Existing works mainly focus on recommending a set of items, but online e-commerce platforms have recently begun to pay attention to…

Conversational and question-based recommender systems have gained increasing attention in recent years, with users enabled to converse with the system and better control recommendations. Nevertheless, research in the field is still limited,…

X-ray imaging is pivotal in medical diagnostics, offering non-invasive insights into a range of health conditions. Recently, vision-language models, such as the Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) model, have demonstrated…

Recommending cold-start items is a long-standing and fundamental challenge in recommender systems. Without any historical interaction on cold-start items, CF scheme fails to use collaborative signals to infer user preference on these items.…

This paper studies the item-to-item recommendation problem in recommender systems from a new perspective of metric learning via implicit feedback. We develop and investigate a personalizable deep metric model that captures both the internal…

Similar product recommendation is one of the most common scenes in e-commerce. Many recommendation algorithms such as item-to-item Collaborative Filtering are working on measuring item similarities. In this paper, we introduce our real-time…
