• Abstract summary: This paper describes a solution for implicitly driving the inference of the networks' receptive fields. We use a segmentation module to distinguish between the foreground (important)/background (irrelevant) parts of each learning instance. This strategy typically drives the networks to early convergence and appropriate solutions, where the identity and descriptions are not correlated.

• Abstract: The \emph{receptive fields} of deep learning classification models determine the regions of the input data that have the most significance for providing correct decisions. The primary way to learn such receptive fields is to train the models upon masked data, which helps the networks to ignore any unwanted regions, but has two major drawbacks: 1) it often yields edge-sensitive decision processes; and 2) augments the computational cost of the inference phase considerably. This paper describes a solution for implicitly driving the inference of the networks' receptive fields, by creating synthetic learning data composed of interchanged segments that should be \emph{apriori} important/irrelevant for the network decision. In practice, we use a segmentation module to distinguish between the foreground (important)/background (irrelevant) parts of each learning instance, and randomly swap segments between image pairs, while keeping the class label exclusively consistent with the label of the deemed important segments. This strategy typically drives the networks to early convergence and appropriate solutions, where the identity and clutter descriptions are not correlated. Moreover, this data augmentation solution has various interesting properties: 1) it is parameter-free; 2) it fully preserves the label information; and, 3) it is compatible with the typical data augmentation techniques. In the empirical validation, we considered the person re-identification problem and evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed solution in the well-known \emph{Richly Annotated Pedestrian} (RAP) dataset for two different settings (\emph{upper-body} and \emph{full-body}), observing highly competitive results over the state-of-the-art. Under a reproducible research paradigm, both the code and the empirical evaluation protocol are available at \url{https://github.com/Ehsan-Yaghoubi/reid-strong-baseline}.

  This paper presents ContextSeg - a simple yet highly effective approach to tackling this problem with two stages. In the first stage, to better encode the shape and positional information of strokes, we propose to predict an extra dense distance field in an autoencoder network. In the second stage, we treat an entire stroke as a single entity and label a group of strokes within the same semantic part using an auto-regressive Transformer with the default attention mechanism.

  Unsupervised domain adaptation in semantic segmentation has been raised to alleviate the reliance on expensive pixel-wise annotations. We propose DecoupleNet that alleviates source domain overfitting and enables the final model to focus more on the segmentation task. We also put forward Self-Discrimination (SD) and introduce an auxiliary classifier to learn more discriminative target domain features with pseudo labels.

  We investigate domain adaptive semantic segmentation without source data, which assumes that the model is pre-trained on the source domain. We propose an effective framework for this challenging problem with two components: positive learning and negative learning. Our framework can be easily implemented and incorporated with other methods to further enhance the performance.

  This paper shows how to use labeled synthetic dataset and unlabeled real-world dataset to train a universal model. In this way, human annotations are no longer required, and it is scalable to large and diverse real-world datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed annotation-free method is more or less comparable to the counterpart trained with full human annotations.

• Phase Consistent Ecological Domain Adaptation [76.75730500201536]
  We focus on the task of semantic segmentation, where annotated synthetic data are aplenty, but annotating real data is laborious. The first criterion, inspired by visual psychophysics, is that the map between the two image domains be phase-preserving. The second criterion aims to leverage ecological statistics, or regularities in the scene which are manifest in any image of it, regardless of the characteristics of the illuminant or the imaging sensor.
