Abstract: Large-scale datasets are driving the rapid developments of deep convolutional neural networks for visual sentiment analysis. However, the annotation of large-scale datasets is expensive and time consuming. Instead, it is easy to obtain weakly labeled web images from the Internet. However, noisy labels still lead to seriously degraded performance when we use images directly from the web for training networks. To address this drawback, we propose an end-to-end weakly supervised learning network, which is robust to mislabeled web images. Specifically, the proposed attention module automatically eliminates the distraction of those samples with incorrect labels by reducing their attention scores in the training process. On the other hand, the special-class activation map module is designed to stimulate the network by focusing on the significant regions from the samples with correct labels in a weakly supervised learning approach. Besides the process of feature learning, applying regularization to the classifier is considered to minimize the distance of those samples within the same class and maximize the distance between different class centroids. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations on well- and mislabeled web image datasets demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the related methods.
