• Abstract: We propose a dense object detector with an instance-wise sampling strategy, named IQDet. Instead of using human prior sampling strategies, we first extract the regional feature of each ground-truth to estimate the instance-wise quality distribution. According to a mixture model in spatial dimensions, the distribution is more noise-robust and adapted to the semantic pattern of each instance. Based on the distribution, we propose a quality sampling strategy, which automatically selects training samples in a probabilistic manner and trains with more high-quality samples. Extensive experiments on MS COCO show that our method steadily improves baseline by nearly 2.4 AP without bells and whistles. Moreover, our best model achieves 51.6 AP, outperforming all existing state-of-the-art one-stage detectors and it is completely cost-free in inference time.

  Iterated Denoising Energy Matching (iDEM) iDEM alternates between (I) sampling regions of high model density from a diffusion-based sampler and (II) using these samples in our matching objective. We show that the proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on all metrics and trains $2-5times$ faster.

  Imbalanced learning is a fundamental challenge in data mining, where there is a disproportionate ratio of training samples in each class. Over-sampling is an effective technique to tackle imbalanced learning through generating synthetic samples for the minority class. We propose AutoSMOTE, an automated over-sampling algorithm that can jointly optimize different levels of decisions.

We propose a new approximate sampling technique, Quasi Rejection Sampling (QRS), that allows for a trade-off between sampling efficiency and sampling quality.
