Visalogy: Answering Visual Analogy Questions
Fereshteh Sadeghi, C. Lawrence Zitnick, Ali Farhadi
In this paper, we study the problem of answering visual analogy questions. These questions take the form of image A is to image B as image C is to what . Answering these questions entails discovering the mapping from image A to image B and then extending the mapping to image C and searching for the image D such that the relation from A to B holds for C to D. We pose this problem as learning an embedding that encourages pairs of analogous images with similar transformations to be close together using convolutional neural networks with a quadruple Siamese architecture. We introduce a dataset of visual analogy questions in natural images, and show first results of its kind on solving analogy questions on natural images.
