• Abstract: With impressive results in applications relying on feature learning, deep learning has also blurred the line between algorithm and data. Pick a training dataset, pick a backbone network for feature extraction, and voil\`a ; this usually works for a variety of use cases. But the underlying hypothesis that there exists a training dataset matching the use case is not always met. Moreover, the demand for interconnections regardless of the variations of the content calls for increasing generalization and robustness in features. An interesting application characterized by these problematics is the connection of historical and cultural databases of images. Through the seemingly simple task of instance retrieval, we propose to show that it is not trivial to pick features responding well to a panel of variations and semantic content. Introducing a new enhanced version of the Alegoria benchmark, we compare descriptors using the detailed annotations. We further give insights about the core problems in instance retrieval, testing four state-of-the-art additional techniques to increase performance.

• Query-oriented Data Augmentation for Session Search [71.84678750612754]
  We propose query-oriented data augmentation to enrich search logs and empower the modeling. We generate supplemental training pairs by altering the most important part of a search context. We develop several strategies to alter the current query, resulting in new training data with varying degrees of difficulty.

  We propose an alternative approach to precisely and robustly extract key information from document images. We explicitly model entities as semantic points, i.e., center points of entities are enriched with semantic information describing the attributes and relationships of different entities. The proposed method can achieve significantly enhanced performance on entity labeling and linking, compared with previous state-of-the-art models.

  We introduce a novel incremental active learning framework that asks for attributes and relations in visual scenes. While conventional active learning methods ask for labels of specific examples, we flip this framing to allow agents to ask for examples from specific categories. Using this framing, we introduce an active sampling method that asks for examples from the tail of the data distribution and show that it outperforms classical active learning methods on Visual Genome.
