Deep Class-Guided Hashing for Multi-Label Cross-Modal Retrieval
Deep hashing has gained widespread attention in cross-modal retrieval due to its low cost and efficient retrieval advantages.

| Summary: | Deep hashing has gained widespread attention in cross-modal retrieval due to its low cost and efficient retrieval advantages. However, existing cross-modal hashing methods either focus solely on exploring relationships between data points—which inevitably leads to intra-class dispersion—or emphasize the relationships between data points and categories while neglecting the preservation of inter-class structural relationships, resulting in suboptimal hash codes. To address this issue, this paper proposes a Deep Class-Guided Hashing (DCGH) method, which approaches model learning from the category level. It ensures that data of the same category are clustered around the same class center while maintaining the structural relationships between class centers. Extensive comparative experiments conducted on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that the DCGH method achieves comparable or even superior performance compared to existing cross-modal retrieval methods. |
