Graph-based reasoning attention pooling with curriculum design for content-based image retrieval

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a global single-pass method for content-based image retrieval.

• A novel trainable pooling method using graph-based reasoning and attention.

• Structural relations can effectively help emphasize the key features.

• Adopting curriculum design to modify the network training.

• The results shows the superiority over other methods on retrieval efficiency and accuracy on popular benchmarks.
