Abstract: cross-modal retrieval tries to achieve mutual retrieval between modalities by establishing consistent alignment for different modal data. Currently, many cross-modal retrieval methods have been proposed and have achieved excellent results; however, these are trained with clean cross-modal pairs, which are semantically matched but costly, compared with easily available data with noise alignment (i.e., paired but mismatched in semantics). When training these methods with noise-aligned data, the performance degrades dramatically. Therefore, we propose a robust cross-modal retrieval with alignment refurbishment (RCAR), which significantly reduces the impact of noise on the model. Specifically, RCAR first conducts multi-task learning to slow down the overfitting to the noise to make data separable. Then, RCAR uses a two-component beta-mixture model to divide them into clean and noise alignments and refurbishes the label according to the posterior probability of the noise-alignment component. In addition, we define partial and complete noises in the noise-alignment paradigm. Experimental results show that, compared with the popular cross-modal retrieval methods, RCAR achieves more robust performance with both types of noise.
