• Abstract: Instance recognition is rapidly advanced along with the developments of various deep convolutional neural networks. Compared to the architectures of networks, the training process, which is also crucial to the success of detectors, has received relatively less attention. In this work, we carefully revisit the standard training practice of detectors, and find that the detection performance is often limited by the imbalance during the training process, which generally consists in three levels - sample level, feature level, and objective level. To mitigate the adverse effects caused thereby, we propose Libra R-CNN, a simple yet effective framework towards balanced learning for instance recognition. It integrates IoU-balanced sampling, balanced feature pyramid, and objective re-weighting, respectively for reducing the imbalance at sample, feature, and objective level. Extensive experiments conducted on MS COCO, LVIS and Pascal VOC datasets prove the effectiveness of the overall balanced design.

  Real-world datasets are often highly class-imbalanced, which can adversely impact the performance of deep learning models. The majority of research on training neural networks under class imbalance has focused on specialized loss functions, sampling techniques, or two-stage training procedures. We demonstrate that simply tuning existing components of standard deep learning pipelines, such as the batch size, data augmentation, and label smoothing, can achieve state-of-the-art performance without any such specialized class imbalance methods.

  Current methods for gradient-based credit assignment in deep neural networks need infinitesimally small feedback signals. We combine strong feedback influences on neural activity with gradient-based learning and show that this naturally leads to a novel view on neural network optimization. We show that the use of strong feedback in DFC allows learning forward and feedback connections simultaneously, using a learning rule fully local in space and time.
