ReConvNet: Video Object Segmentation with Spatio-Temporal Features Modulation
We introduce ReConvNet, a recurrent convolutional architecture for
semi-supervised video object segmentation that is able to fast adapt its
features to focus on any specific object of interest at inference time.
Generalization to new objects never observed during training is known to be a
hard task for supervised approaches that would need to be retrained. To tackle
this problem, we propose a more efficient solution that learns spatio-temporal
features self-adapting to the object of interest via conditional affine
transformations. This approach is simple, can be trained end-to-end and does
not necessarily require extra training steps at inference time. Our method
shows competitive results on DAVIS2016 with respect to state-of-the art
approaches that use online fine-tuning, and outperforms them on DAVIS2017.
ReConvNet shows also promising results on the DAVIS-Challenge 2018 winning the
-th position.Comment: CVPR Workshop - DAVIS Challenge 201
Attentive Single-Tasking of Multiple Tasks
In this work we address task interference in universal networks by
considering that a network is trained on multiple tasks, but performs one task
at a time, an approach we refer to as "single-tasking multiple tasks". The
network thus modifies its behaviour through task-dependent feature adaptation,
or task attention. This gives the network the ability to accentuate the
features that are adapted to a task, while shunning irrelevant ones. We further
reduce task interference by forcing the task gradients to be statistically
indistinguishable through adversarial training, ensuring that the common
backbone architecture serving all tasks is not dominated by any of the
task-specific gradients. Results in three multi-task dense labelling problems
consistently show: (i) a large reduction in the number of parameters while
preserving, or even improving performance and (ii) a smooth trade-off between
computation and multi-task accuracy. We provide our system's code and
pre-trained models at http://vision.ee.ethz.ch/~kmaninis/astmt/.Comment: CVPR 2019 Camera Read
