• Abstract: This paper considers learning deep features from long-tailed data. We observe that in the deep feature space, the head classes and the tail classes present different distribution patterns. The head classes have a relatively large spatial span, while the tail classes have significantly small spatial span, due to the lack of intra-class diversity. This uneven distribution between head and tail classes distorts the overall feature space, which compromises the discriminative ability of the learned features. Intuitively, we seek to expand the distribution of the tail classes by transferring from the head classes, so as to alleviate the distortion of the feature space. To this end, we propose to construct each feature into a "feature cloud". If a sample belongs to a tail class, the corresponding feature cloud will have relatively large distribution range, in compensation to its lack of diversity. It allows each tail sample to push the samples from other classes far away, recovering the intra-class diversity of tail classes. Extensive experimental evaluations on person re-identification and face recognition tasks confirm the effectiveness of our method.

  We offer a novel perspective on long-tail learning, inspired by an observation: datasets with finer granularity tend to be less affected by data imbalance. We introduce open-set auxiliary classes that are visually similar to existing ones, aiming to enhance representation learning for both head and tail classes. To prevent the overwhelming presence of auxiliary classes from disrupting training, we introduce a neighbor-silencing loss.

  We propose Dual Compensation Residual Networks to better fit both tail and head classes. An important factor causing overfitting is that there is severe feature drift between training and test data on tail classes. We also propose a Residual Balanced Multi-Proxies classifier to alleviate the under-fitting issue.

  The biased decision boundary caused by inadequate semantic information in tail classes is one of the key factors contributing to their low recognition accuracy. We propose to augment tail classes by grafting the diverse semantic information from head classes, referred to as head-to-tail fusion (H2T) Both theoretical analysis and practical experimentation demonstrate that H2T can contribute to a more optimized solution for the decision boundary.

  The imbalance between majority (head) classes and minority (tail) classes severely skews the data-driven deep neural networks. Previous methods tackle with data imbalance from the viewpoints of data distribution, feature space, and model design. We propose a concise paradigm by progressively adjusting label space and dividing the head classes and tail classes. Our proposed model also provides a feature evaluation method and paves the way for long-tailed feature learning.

• Improving Tail-Class Representation with Centroid Contrastive Learning [145.73991900239017]
  We propose interpolative centroid contrastive learning (ICCL) to improve long-tailed representation learning. ICCL interpolates two images from a class-agnostic sampler and a class-aware sampler, and trains the model such that the representation of the ICCL can be used to retrieve the centroids for both source classes. Our result shows a significant accuracy gain of 2.8% on the iNaturalist 2018 dataset with a real-world long-tailed distribution.
