ConText-CIR: Learning from Concepts in Text for Composed Image Retrieval

Eric Xing, Pranavi Kolouju, Robert Pless +2

Composed image retrieval (CIR) is the task of retrieving a target image specified by a query image and a relative text that describes a semantic modification to the query image. Ex…
