Multimodal semantic analysis with regularized semantic autoencoder

Abstract

The real-world data is multimodal and to classify them by machine learning algorithms, features of both modalities must be transformed into common latent space. The high dimensional common space transformation of features lose their locality information and susceptible to noise. This research article has dealt with this issue of a semantic autoencoder and presents a novel algorithm with distinct mapped features with locality preservation into a commonly hidden space. We call it discriminative regularized semantic autoencoder (DRSAE). It maintains the low dimensional features in the manifold to manage the inter and intra-modality of the data. The data has multi labels, and these are transformed into an aware feature space. Conditional Principal label space transformation (CPLST) is used for it. With the two-fold proposed algorithm, we achieve a significant improvement in text retrieval form image query and image retrieval from the text query.
