Effective Use of Dilated Convolutions for Segmenting Small Object Instances in Remote Sensing Imagery
Thanks to recent advances in CNNs, solid improvements have been made in
semantic segmentation of high resolution remote sensing imagery. However, most
of the previous works have not fully taken into account the specific
difficulties that exist in remote sensing tasks. One of such difficulties is
that objects are small and crowded in remote sensing imagery. To tackle with
this challenging task we have proposed a novel architecture called local
feature extraction (LFE) module attached on top of dilated front-end module.
The LFE module is based on our findings that aggressively increasing dilation
factors fails to aggregate local features due to sparsity of the kernel, and
detrimental to small objects. The proposed LFE module solves this problem by
aggregating local features with decreasing dilation factor. We tested our
network on three remote sensing datasets and acquired remarkably good results
for all datasets especially for small objects
Deep Regionlets for Object Detection
In this paper, we propose a novel object detection framework named "Deep
Regionlets" by establishing a bridge between deep neural networks and
conventional detection schema for accurate generic object detection. Motivated
by the abilities of regionlets for modeling object deformation and multiple
aspect ratios, we incorporate regionlets into an end-to-end trainable deep
learning framework. The deep regionlets framework consists of a region
selection network and a deep regionlet learning module. Specifically, given a
detection bounding box proposal, the region selection network provides guidance
on where to select regions to learn the features from. The regionlet learning
module focuses on local feature selection and transformation to alleviate local
variations. To this end, we first realize non-rectangular region selection
within the detection framework to accommodate variations in object appearance.
Moreover, we design a "gating network" within the regionlet leaning module to
enable soft regionlet selection and pooling. The Deep Regionlets framework is
trained end-to-end without additional efforts. We perform ablation studies and
conduct extensive experiments on the PASCAL VOC and Microsoft COCO datasets.
The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms, such as
RetinaNet and Mask R-CNN, even without additional segmentation labels.Comment: Accepted to ECCV 201
Multi-labeled Relation Extraction with Attentive Capsule Network
To disclose overlapped multiple relations from a sentence still keeps
challenging. Most current works in terms of neural models inconveniently
assuming that each sentence is explicitly mapped to a relation label, cannot
handle multiple relations properly as the overlapped features of the relations
are either ignored or very difficult to identify. To tackle with the new issue,
we propose a novel approach for multi-labeled relation extraction with capsule
network which acts considerably better than current convolutional or recurrent
net in identifying the highly overlapped relations within an individual
sentence. To better cluster the features and precisely extract the relations,
we further devise attention-based routing algorithm and sliding-margin loss
function, and embed them into our capsule network. The experimental results
show that the proposed approach can indeed extract the highly overlapped
features and achieve significant performance improvement for relation
extraction comparing to the state-of-the-art works.Comment: To be published in AAAI 201
