COMBINER: Composed Image Retrieval Guided by Attribute-based Neighbor Relations

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) represents a challenging retrieval task that targets locating specific images through multimodal inputs. Despite recent progress in CIR techniques, prior approaches often overlook cases where images appear visually alike yet differ in attributes, potentially undermining both multimodal feature fusion and similarity modeling.

GOMA: Toward Structure-Driven Multimodal Alignment from a Graph Signal Smoothing Perspective

GOMA (Graph-Optimized Multimodal Alignment) introduces a dual-embedding approach for multimodal retrieval, separating content embeddings supervised for paired identity from semantic embeddings trained with cross-modal pairs and observed relationships. The method fuses these embeddings, applies semantic agreement to weight graph edges, and uses restart graph propagation to reinforce the initial signal, enabling both single-modality and dual-attribute retrieval. Across six datasets and four tasks, GOMA outperforms 14 external methods on 14 primary metrics, with controlled experiments highlighting the impact of separate supervision, graph regularization, and semantic-guided propagation.
