通过伪标签一致性提升噪声图文对的可靠性,改善跨模态检索性能。
PCSR: Pseudo-label Consistency-Guided Sample Refinement for Noisy Correspondence Learning
- 基于伪标签一致性划分样本,区分可优化与难处理的噪声对。
- 在三个数据集上显著提升噪声环境下的检索准确率。
- 适合处理真实场景中存在标注噪声的跨模态学习任务。
跨模态检索旨在通过语义相似性对齐不同模态。然而,现有方法通常假设图像-文本对完全对齐,忽视了真实数据中的噪声对应关系。这些错位对会误导相似性学习,降低检索性能。先前方法多依赖粗粒度分类,简单将数据分为干净与噪声样本,忽略了噪声样本内部的多样性。且通常采用统一训练策略,未能根据样本特性优化利用。为此,本文提出一种新框架PCSR(伪标签一致性引导的样本精炼),通过显式基于伪标签一致性划分样本以增强对应可靠性。首先采用置信度估计区分干净与噪声对,再通过伪标签一致性精炼噪声对,揭示结构上不同的子集。进一步提出伪标签一致性得分(PCS)量化预测稳定性,实现对模糊与可精炼样本的分离。据此设计自适应配对优化(APO):对模糊样本使用鲁棒损失函数,对可精炼样本则通过文本替换增强。在CC152K、MS-COCO和Flickr30K上的大量实验验证了该方法在噪声监督下提升检索鲁棒性的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cross-modal retrieval aims to align different modalities via semantic similarity. However, existing methods often assume that image-text pairs are perfectly aligned, overlooking Noisy Correspondences in real data. These misaligned pairs misguide similarity learning and degrade retrieval performance. Previous methods often rely on coarse-grained categorizations that simply divide data into clean and noisy samples, overlooking the intrinsic diversity within noisy instances. Moreover, they typically apply uniform training strategies regardless of sample characteristics, resulting in suboptimal sample utilization for model optimization. To address the above challenges, we introduce a novel framework, called Pseudo-label Consistency-Guided Sample Refinement (PCSR), which enhances correspondence reliability by explicitly dividing samples based on pseudo-label consistency. Specifically, we first employ a confidence-based estimation to distinguish clean and noisy pairs, then refine the noisy pairs via pseudo-label consistency to uncover structurally distinct subsets. We further proposed a Pseudo-label Consistency Score (PCS) to quantify prediction stability, enabling the separation of ambiguous and refinable samples within noisy pairs. Accordingly, we adopt Adaptive Pair Optimization (APO), where ambiguous samples are optimized with robust loss functions and refinable ones are enhanced via text replacement during training. Extensive experiments on CC152K, MS-COCO and Flickr30K validate the effectiveness of our method in improving retrieval robustness under noisy supervision.
