Text Descriptions 
The augmented text could be downloaded from  
1202-Elhoseiny-sup.zip 
Splits for comparison

CUB2010 (zero shot splits):  SplitsLCUB2010.zip

There is a train.txt,validation.txt, and test.txt for each fold. If you don’t need to validate parameters you can use the union of train.txt and validation.txt for training. test.txt include only examples of unseen classes (the class is not in either train.txt or validation.txt). 

Text and Visual Features
Text and Visual features for CU Birds and Oxford datasets could be downloaded here ICCV13 features

Code 
 ICCV methods code.zip  (7k)
This is code for each baseline method separately. I will try to provide an example for how to use them later here.   The purpose of this code is to give 
an idea how the method works. 
The optimization is based on IBM CPLEX package, it needs to be installed. It is free for academic use. 

The DA method we implemented using gradient descend is included. Also the quadratic program in included. The  
TGP baseline could be reproduced by the code here

Write a Kernel Classifier
We developed our work to be generalized and support kernels in both visual and unstructured text domains. We also proposed a distributional semantic kernel in the text domain.  The details of  the generalized kernelized framework that allow a generic kernel for both visual and text domain, and for a proposed distributional semantic kernel for unstructured text descriptions, please visit this link .
