• Title: Anti-Adversarially Manipulated Attributions for Weakly and Semi-Supervised Semantic Segmentation
• Authors: Jungbeom Lee, Eunji Kim, Sungroh Yoon
• Abstract summary: AdvCAM is an attribution map of an image that is manipulated to increase the classification score. It forces regions initially considered not to be discriminative to become involved in subsequent classifications. We achieve mIoUs of 68.0 and 76.9 for weakly and semi-supervised semantic segmentation respectively.

• Abstract: Weakly supervised semantic segmentation produces a pixel-level localization from a classifier, but it is likely to restrict its focus to a small discriminative region of the target object. AdvCAM is an attribution map of an image that is manipulated to increase the classification score. This manipulation is realized in an anti-adversarial manner, which perturbs the images along pixel gradients in the opposite direction from those used in an adversarial attack. It forces regions initially considered not to be discriminative to become involved in subsequent classifications, and produces attribution maps that successively identify more regions of the target object. In addition, we introduce a new regularization procedure that inhibits the incorrect attribution of regions unrelated to the target object and limits the attributions of the regions that already have high scores. On PASCAL VOC 2012 test images, we achieve mIoUs of 68.0 and 76.9 for weakly and semi-supervised semantic segmentation respectively, which represent a new state-of-the-art.

  We propose a single-stage approach for Weakly Supervised Semantic (WSSS) with image-level labels. We adaptively partition the image content into deterministic regions (e.g., confident foreground and background) and uncertain regions (e.g., object boundaries and misclassified categories) for separate processing. Building upon this, we introduce a complementary self-enhancement method that constrains the semantic consistency between these confident regions and an augmented image with the same class labels.

  We present an attribution map of an image that is manipulated to increase the classification score produced by a classifier before the final softmax or sigmoid layer. This manipulation is realized in an anti-adversarial manner, so that the original image is perturbed along pixel gradients in directions opposite to those used in an adversarial attack. In addition, we introduce a new regularization procedure that inhibits the incorrect attribution of regions unrelated to the target object and the excessive concentration of attributions on a small region of the target object.

  Weakly supervised object localization aims to find a target object region in a given image with only weak supervision, such as image-level labels. We find the gap between classification and localization in terms of the misalignment of the directions between an input feature and a class-specific weight. We propose a method to align feature directions with a class-specific weight to bridge the gap.

  We propose a region-based active learning approach for semantic segmentation under a domain shift. Our algorithm, Active Learning via Region Impurity and Prediction Uncertainty (AL-RIPU), introduces a novel acquisition strategy characterizing the spatial adjacency of image regions. Our method only requires very few annotations to almost reach the supervised performance and substantially outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
