• Authors: Emile R. Engelbrecht, Johan A. du Preez
• Abstract summary: This research is the first to generalise between observed-novel and unobserved-novel categories within a new learning policy called open-set learning with augmented category. We introduce Open-LACU as a unified policy of positive and unlabelled learning, semi-supervised learning and open-set recognition. The proposed Open-LACU achieves state-of-the-art and first-of-its-kind results.

• Abstract: Novel categories are commonly defined as those unobserved during training but present during testing. However, partially labelled training datasets can contain unlabelled training samples that belong to novel categories, meaning these can be present in training and testing. This research is the first to generalise between what we call observed-novel and unobserved-novel categories within a new learning policy called open-set learning with augmented category by exploiting unlabelled data or Open-LACU. After surveying existing learning policies, we introduce Open-LACU as a unified policy of positive and unlabelled learning, semi-supervised learning and open-set recognition. Subsequently, we develop the first Open-LACU model using an algorithmic training process of the relevant research fields. The proposed Open-LACU classifier achieves state-of-the-art and first-of-its-kind results.

  Open Set Recognition models are capable of detecting unknown classes from samples arriving during the testing phase, while maintaining a good level of performance in the classification of samples belonging to known classes. This review comprehensively overviews the recent literature related to Open Set Recognition, identifying common practices, limitations, and connections of this field with other machine learning research areas. Our work also uncovers open problems and suggests several research directions that may motivate and articulate future efforts towards more safe Artificial Intelligence methods.

  We propose a new novel class discovery framework for automatically discovering new semantic classes from dermoscopy image datasets. Specifically, we first use contrastive learning to learn a robust and unbiased feature representation based on all data from known and unknown categories. We conducted extensive experiments on the dermatology dataset ISIC 2019, and the experimental results show that our approach can effectively leverage knowledge from known categories to discover new semantic categories.

  Open-world instance segmentation (OWIS) models detect unknown objects in a class-agnostic manner. Previous OWIS approaches completely erase category information during training to keep the model's ability to generalize to unknown objects. We propose a novel training mechanism termed SegPrompt that uses category information to improve the model's class-agnostic segmentation ability.
