• Abstract: Most classification models treat different object classes in parallel and the misclassifications between any two classes are treated equally. In contrast, human beings can exploit high-level information in making a prediction of an unknown object. Inspired by this observation, the paper proposes a super-class guided network (SGNet) to integrate the high-level semantic information into the network so as to increase its performance in inference. SGNet takes two-level class annotations that contain both super-class and finer class labels. The super-classes are higher-level semantic categories that consist of a certain amount of finer classes. A super-class branch (SCB), trained on super-class labels, is introduced to guide finer class prediction. At the inference time, we adopt two different strategies: Two-step inference (TSI) and direct inference (DI). TSI first predicts the super-class and then makes predictions of the corresponding finer class. On the other hand, DI directly generates predictions from the finer class branch (FCB). Extensive experiments have been performed on CIFAR-100 and MS COCO datasets. The experimental results validate the proposed approach and demonstrate its superior performance on image classification and object detection.

  We exploit hierarchical information to leverage discriminative and relevant features of base classes to effectively classify novel objects. These features are extracted from abundant data of base classes, which could be utilized to reasonably describe classes with scarce data. In order to effectively train the hierarchy-based-detector in FSIS, we apply the label refinement to further describe the associations between fine-grained classes.

  Existing Class Incremental Learning (CIL) methods are based on a supervised classification framework sensitive to data labels. When updating them based on the new class data, they suffer from catastrophic forgetting: the model cannot discern old class data clearly from the new. In this paper, we explore the performance of Self-Supervised representation learning in Class Incremental Learning (SSCIL) for the first time.

  We propose a two-stage deep neural network for zero-shot action recognition.

In the classification stage, we construct a knowledge graph based on the relationship between word vectors of action classes and related objects.

  In real-world classification tasks, each class often comprises multiple finer-grained "subclasses" As the subclass labels are frequently unavailable, models trained using only the coarser-grained class labels often exhibit highly variable performance across different subclasses. We propose GEORGE, a method to both measure and mitigate hidden stratification even when subclass labels are unknown.
