Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation Using Constrained Dominant Sets
The availability of large-scale data sets is an essential pre-requisite for
deep learning based semantic segmentation schemes. Since obtaining pixel-level
labels is extremely expensive, supervising deep semantic segmentation networks
using low-cost weak annotations has been an attractive research problem in
recent years. In this work, we explore the potential of Constrained Dominant
Sets (CDS) for generating multi-labeled full mask predictions to train a fully
convolutional network (FCN) for semantic segmentation. Our experimental results
show that using CDS's yields higher-quality mask predictions compared to
methods that have been adopted in the literature for the same purpose
A convolutional autoencoder approach for mining features in cellular electron cryo-tomograms and weakly supervised coarse segmentation
Cellular electron cryo-tomography enables the 3D visualization of cellular
organization in the near-native state and at submolecular resolution. However,
the contents of cellular tomograms are often complex, making it difficult to
automatically isolate different in situ cellular components. In this paper, we
propose a convolutional autoencoder-based unsupervised approach to provide a
coarse grouping of 3D small subvolumes extracted from tomograms. We demonstrate
that the autoencoder can be used for efficient and coarse characterization of
features of macromolecular complexes and surfaces, such as membranes. In
addition, the autoencoder can be used to detect non-cellular features related
to sample preparation and data collection, such as carbon edges from the grid
and tomogram boundaries. The autoencoder is also able to detect patterns that
may indicate spatial interactions between cellular components. Furthermore, we
demonstrate that our autoencoder can be used for weakly supervised semantic
segmentation of cellular components, requiring a very small amount of manual
annotation.Comment: Accepted by Journal of Structural Biolog
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
