Abstract

Effectively representing features of modalities is a hot issue in cross-modal recipe retrieval. The current methods generally adopt two independent neural networks to extract the features of images and recipes respectively, achieving retrieval through cross-modal alignment. However, these methods mainly focus on the intra-modal information and ignore the intermodal interactions, resulting in the loss of some effective modality information. To address the problem, this paper proposed a cross-modal recipe retrieval method to enhance modality semantics through multimodal encoders. Firstly, it used a pre-trained model to extract initial semantic features of images and recipes and utilizing modality alignment to reduce the inter-model differences. Secondly, it employed the pairwise cross-modal attention to repeatedly reinforce the features of one modality by using features from another modality, extracted valid information. Thirdly, it used the self-attention mechanism to modal the internal features of modalities to capture rich modality-specific semantic information and potential associations. Finally, it introduced the triplet loss to minimize the distance between similar samples, achieved cross-modal retrieval learning. Experimental results on Recipe 1M dataset show that the proposed approach outperforms the current mainstream methods in terms of median ranking(MedR) and recall rate at top K(R@K), providing a powerful solution for cross-modal retrieval tasks.
