Cross-modal learning for information retrieval

Program Overview

This PhD program focuses on cross-modal learning for information retrieval, exploring methods for learning entity relations in cross-modal spaces and identifying limitations of existing algorithms. It also investigates bias in cross-modal transfer learning and proposes strategies for lifelong learning and forgetting.

Program Outline

Other:

• cross-modal learning for information retrieval
• The project may focus on:
• Developing methods for learning relations of entities in cross-modal spaces comprising images and text.
• Identifying the limitations of existing cross-modal retrieval algorithms.
• Investigating bias in cross-modal transfer learning and developing strategies for detecting and mitigating bias.
• Development of a tool for the search, and retrieval of multi-modal data.
The tool will have query expansion and relevance feedback capabilities.
• Loughborough University research impact is rated world-leading or internationally excellent.
