Overview

The Composed Image Retrieval (CIR) task aims to retrieve target images using a composed query consisting of a reference image and a modified text. Advanced methods often utilize contrastive learning as the optimization objective, which benefits from adequate positive and negative examples. However, the triplet for CIR incurs high manual annotation costs, resulting in limited positive examples. Furthermore, existing methods commonly use in-batch negative sampling, which reduces the negative number available for the model. To address the problem of lack of positives, we propose a data generation method by leveraging a multi-modal large language model to construct triplets for CIR. To introduce more negatives during fine-tuning, we design a two-stage fine-tuning framework for CIR, whose second stage introduces plenty of static representations of negatives to optimize the representation space rapidly. The above two improvements can be effectively stacked and designed to be plug-and-play, easily applied to existing CIR models without changing their original architectures. Extensive experiments and ablation analysis demonstrate that our method effectively scales positives and negatives and achieves state-of-the-art results on both FashionIQ and CIRR datasets. In addition, our methods also perform well in zero-shot composed image retrieval, providing a new CIR solution for the low-resources scenario.

Checkpoints

You can find all checkpoints and data at this huggingface repo: https://huggingface.co/BUAADreamer/SPN4CIR

The checkpoints of the first stage model are taken from the repo of the original paper.

About code, our project is based on CLIP4Cir. Some of our code are learned from TG-CIR, SPRC, Candidate-Reranking-CIR.

About data, we train and evaluate on two CIR dataset FashionIQ and CIRR. We use LLaVA to do caption generation and Unicom to do image pair match.

Thanks for their great jobs! If you need to use a particular part of our code, please cite the relevant papers.
