Word-overlap-based clustering cross-modal retrieval

Abstract

A system for cross-modal data retrieval is provided that includes a neural network having a time series encoder and text encoder which are jointly trained using an unsupervised training method which is based on a loss function. The loss function jointly evaluates a similarity of feature vectors of training sets of two different modalities of time series and free-form text comments and a compatibility of the time series and the free-form text comments with a word-overlap-based spectral clustering method configured to compute pseudo labels for the unsupervised training method. The computer processing system further includes a database for storing the training sets with feature vectors extracted from encodings of the training sets. The encodings are obtained by encoding a training set of the time series using the time series encoder and encoding a training set of the free-form text comments using the text encoder.
