Recurrent semantic disentanglement: enhancing zero-shot learning through dynamic feature refinement
摘要
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) enables recognition of unseen classes without direct training examples by leveraging semantic knowledge. However, traditional ZSL methods often rely on static, expert-defined semantics, leading to misalignment with visual features and degraded performance, especially on fine-grained datasets. To address this, we propose RSDN-GZSL, a recurrent semantic disentanglement network that dynamically generates instance-specific semantic information for precise semantic–visual alignment and effective feature decoupling. Our model comprises a dual-path feature generation network and an evolution attention network, forming an iterative optimization loop. Extensive experiments on AWA2, SUN, and CUB datasets demonstrate that RSDN-GZSL significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods, establishing new performance records.
