Hashing techniques are widely adopted in large-scale cross-modal retrieval due to their efficiency and low storage cost. However, semantic ambiguities, including polysemy, multi-object images, and missing semantic descriptions, significantly degrade the accuracy of alignment and retrieval performance. Most existing methods rely on one-to-one mappings that preserve only global average semantics, which fail to capture the intrinsic polysemous structures embedded within individual samples. To address this issue, we propose a novel Deep Polysemic Semantic Instance Hashing (DPSIH) method and design a Diverse Semantic Instance Embedding Module (DSIE). This module integrates local and global features through multi-head self-attention and residual learning, generating multiple diverse embeddings per sample to effectively capture fine-grained and polysemous semantic structures. Furthermore, we design a multi-embedding semantic correlation constraint that relaxes strict alignment restrictions to improve robustness under partial alignment, and introduce Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) regularization to alleviate cross-modal distribution shifts. Additionally, an embedding diversity mechanism is proposed to prevent all embeddings from collapsing into a central or averaged representation, thereby enhancing semantic diversity. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that DPSIH significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods and effectively improves the modeling of semantic ambiguity in cross-modal retrieval tasks.
