Triplet network is an efficient method of metric learning, but with the increase of the number of fine-grained images and sample categories, the training of Triplet network is more and more challengeable. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an algorithm that effectively combine Concept Ontology Structure with the Triplet network trained of Two-layer Ontology Loss. It not only utilizes semantic knowledge to guide the Concept Ontology Structure of the network, but also makes use of the relationship between the layers to make the network more effective to see the triplets, which enhances the separability of the learned features. At the same time, we also use the bilinear function jointly trained with the Triplet network to enhance the image details, further improving the performance of the network. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is also proved by the results of classification experiments on the fine-grained image databases - Orchid and Fashion60.

In this paper, a novel hierarchical deep network is proposed to combine the deep convolutional neural network and the feature selection-based tree classifier efficiently for image classification. First, the concept ontology is built for organizing large-scale image classes hierarchically in a coarse-to-fine fashion. Second, a novel selective orthogonal algorithm is proposed to make sure deep features extracted for each level classifiers more in line with the requirements of different classification tasks. Also, the role of useful feature components in multi-level deep features are improved. The experimental results on three datasets show that adding a feature selection module in a hierarchical deep network can perform better performance in large-scale image classification.
