Image-text matching is a basic task in the multimodal field to achieve semantic connection between images and texts. Recent methods have demonstrated advanced performance by focusing on cross-modal interactions of embeddings.

To address the above problem, this paper proposes an intra-modality information transfer method RIMD, which aims to perform cross-modal interactions while preserving the intra-modality discriminative information. Our method consists of two parts: 1) an intra-modality discrimination learning module, which learns discriminative information within a single modality based on message passing, and 2) a Brownian Bridge-based cross-modal interaction module that leverages the learned intra-modality information to mitigate the modality gap. To ensure the effective leverage of high-quality global embeddings for enhanced intra-modality discrimination, we draw inspiration from differential denoising and further optimize the implementation of Local Feature Aggregation. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of RIMD on Flickr30k and MSCOCO datasets.

摘要

Image-text matching is a basic task in the multimodal field to achieve semantic connection between images and texts. Recent methods have demonstrated advanced performance by focusing on cross-modal interactions of embeddings. However, these methods cause the model to prioritize shared representations across modalities, weakening their ability to preserve modality-specific discriminability and resulting in reduced representation diversity. To address the above problem, this paper proposes an intra-modality information transfer method RIMD, which aims to perform cross-modal interactions while preserving the intra-modality discriminative information. Our method consists of two parts: 1) an intra-modality discrimination learning module, which learns discriminative information within a single modality based on message passing, and 2) a Brownian Bridge-based cross-modal interaction module that leverages the learned intra-modality information to mitigate the modality gap. To ensure the effective leverage of high-quality global embeddings for enhanced intra-modality discrimination, we draw inspiration from differential denoising and further optimize the implementation of Local Feature Aggregation. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of RIMD on Flickr30k and MSCOCO datasets.
