Adaptive Online Multi-modal Hashing via Hadamard Matrix
share
Hashing plays an important role in information retrieval, due to its low storage and high speed of processing. Among the techniques available in the literature, multi-modal hashing, which can encode heterogeneous multi-modal features into compact hash codes, has received particular attention. Existing multi-modal hashing methods introduce hyperparameters to balance many regularization terms designed to make the models more robust in the hash learning process. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to set them proper values. In this paper, we propose a simple, yet effective method that is inspired by the Hadamard matrix, which captures the multi-modal feature information in an adaptive manner and preserves the discriminative semantic information in the hash codes. Our framework is flexible and involves a very few hyper-parameters. Extensive experimental results show the method is effective and achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art algorithms.
