Recomand one recently released excellent papers in DML not written by me:
from Cornell Tech and Facebook AI
Abstract: Deep metric learning papers from the past four years have consistently claimed great advances in accuracy, often more than doubling the performance of decade-old methods. In this paper, we take a closer look at the field to see if this is actually true. We find flaws in the experimental setup of these papers, and propose a new way to evaluate metric learning algorithms. Finally, we present experimental results that show that the improvements over time have been marginal at best.

Contrasstive Loss [1]
Semi-Hard Mining Strategy [2]
Lifted Structure Loss* [3] (Modified version because of its original weak performance)
Binomial BinDeviance Loss [4]
NCA Loss [6]
Multi-Similarity Loss [7]
first 98 classes as train set and last 98 classes as test set
first 100 classes as train set and last 100 classes as test set
for the experiments, we split 59,551 images of 11,318 classes for training and 60,502 images of 11,316 classes for testing
For the In-Shop Clothes Retrieval dataset, 3,997 classes with 25,882 images for training. And the test set are partitioned to query set with 3,985 classes(14,218 images) and gallery set with 3,985 classes (12,612 images).

To easily reimplement the performance, I provide the processed datasets: CUB and Cars-196.
