CN-ZSL: Class Normalization for Zero Shot Learning. Ivan Skorokhodov, Mohamed Elhoseiny. [paper] [Code]

Note: In the paper, the authors investigated basic normalization strategies and proposed the novel class normalization. Besides, they introduced a more general continual zero-shot learning setting. But generally, there is a lot of space to improve on that.

Note: This is a paper based on GAZSL and the loss design is interesting and easy to follow. However, this is for transductive zero shot learning, which uses the semantic features of unseen classes at training step.

Hyperbolic-ZSL: Shaoteng Liu, Jingjing Chen, Liangming Pan, Chong-Wah Ngo, Tat-Seng Chua, Yu-Gang Jiang. Hyperbolic Visual Embedding Learning for Zero-Shot Recognition. [CVF][Code]

Note: The most important part in this paper is the evaluations on ImageNet, which has hierarchical structures of labels. However, the processed ImageNet feature data was not provided and no response from the authors yet. I havn't tested the code for this reason so I'm not very sure this implementation can achieve reported results.
