Watch and Learn: Semi-Supervised Learning of Object Detectors from Videos
We present a semi-supervised approach that localizes multiple unknown object
instances in long videos. We start with a handful of labeled boxes and
iteratively learn and label hundreds of thousands of object instances. We
propose criteria for reliable object detection and tracking for constraining
the semi-supervised learning process and minimizing semantic drift. Our
approach does not assume exhaustive labeling of each object instance in any
single frame, or any explicit annotation of negative data. Working in such a
generic setting allow us to tackle multiple object instances in video, many of
which are static. In contrast, existing approaches either do not consider
multiple object instances per video, or rely heavily on the motion of the
objects present. The experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach
by evaluating the automatically labeled data on a variety of metrics like
quality, coverage (recall), diversity, and relevance to training an object
detector.Comment: To appear in CVPR 201
Recent Advances in Transfer Learning for Cross-Dataset Visual Recognition: A Problem-Oriented Perspective
This paper takes a problem-oriented perspective and presents a comprehensive
review of transfer learning methods, both shallow and deep, for cross-dataset
visual recognition. Specifically, it categorises the cross-dataset recognition
into seventeen problems based on a set of carefully chosen data and label
attributes. Such a problem-oriented taxonomy has allowed us to examine how
different transfer learning approaches tackle each problem and how well each
problem has been researched to date. The comprehensive problem-oriented review
of the advances in transfer learning with respect to the problem has not only
revealed the challenges in transfer learning for visual recognition, but also
the problems (e.g. eight of the seventeen problems) that have been scarcely
studied. This survey not only presents an up-to-date technical review for
researchers, but also a systematic approach and a reference for a machine
learning practitioner to categorise a real problem and to look up for a
possible solution accordingly
