• Abstract: Supervised training of object detectors requires well-annotated large-scale datasets, whose production is costly. Therefore, some efforts have been made to obtain annotations in economical ways, such as cloud sourcing. However, datasets obtained by these methods tend to contain noisy annotations such as inaccurate bounding boxes and incorrect class labels. In this study, we propose a new problem setting of training object detectors on datasets with entangled noises of annotations of class labels and bounding boxes. Our proposed method efficiently decouples the entangled noises, corrects the noisy annotations, and subsequently trains the detector using the corrected annotations. We verified the effectiveness of our proposed method and compared it with the baseline on noisy datasets with different noise levels. The experimental results show that our proposed method significantly outperforms the baseline.

  We develop a novel pseudo labeling method using class prototypes from the perspective of distribution matching. By setting a manually-specific probability measure, we can reduce the side-effects of noisy and long-tailed data simultaneously. Our method can extract this class-balanced subset with clean labels, which brings effective performance gains for long-tailed classification with label noise.

  We propose a novel sample selection-based approach for noisy label learning, called Proto-semi. Proto-semi divides all samples into the confident and unconfident datasets via warm-up. By leveraging the confident dataset, prototype vectors are constructed to capture class characteristics. Empirical evaluations on a real-world annotated dataset substantiate the robustness of Proto-semi in handling the problem of learning from noisy labels.

  Learning with noisy labels (LNL) aims at designing strategies to improve model performance and generalization by mitigating the effects of model overfitting to noisy labels. Recent advances employ the predicted label distributions of individual samples to perform noise verification and noisy label correction, easily giving rise to confirmation bias. We propose Neighborhood Collective Estimation, in which the predictive reliability of a candidate sample is re-estimated by contrasting it against its feature-space nearest neighbors.

Noisy annotations are much more easily accessible, but they could be detrimental for learning. We address the challenging problem of training object detectors with noisy annotations, where the noise contains a mixture of label noise and bounding box noise.
