Towards Efficient Deep Hashing Retrieval: Condensing Your Data via Feature-Embedding Matching

Deep hashing retrieval has gained widespread use in big data retrieval due to its robust feature extraction and efficient hashing process. However, training advanced deep hashing models has become more expensive due to complex optimizations and large datasets. Coreset selection and Dataset Condensation lower overall training costs by reducing the volume of training data without significantly compromising model accuracy for classification task. In this paper, we explore the effect of mainstream dataset condensation methods for deep hashing retrieval and propose IEM (Information-intensive feature-Embedding Matching), which is centered on distribution matching and incorporates model and data augmentation techniques to further enhance the feature of hashing space. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance and efficiency of our approach.
