• Abstract summary: We propose a generic workflow to assist the annotation process and discuss methods on an abstract level. Thereby, we review the possibilities of focusing on promising samples, image pre-processing, pre-labeling, label inspection, or post-processing of annotations. In addition, we present an implementation of the proposal by means of a developed flexible and extendable software prototype nested in hybrid touchscreen/laptop device.

• Abstract: Recent research in the field of computer vision strongly focuses on deep learning architectures to tackle image processing problems. Deep neural networks are often considered in complex image processing scenarios since traditional computer vision approaches are expensive to develop or reach their limits due to complex relations. However, a common criticism is the need for large annotated datasets to determine robust parameters. Annotating images by human experts is time-consuming, burdensome, and expensive. Thus, support is needed to simplify annotation, increase user efficiency, and annotation quality. In this paper, we propose a generic workflow to assist the annotation process and discuss methods on an abstract level. Thereby, we review the possibilities of focusing on promising samples, image pre-processing, pre-labeling, label inspection, or post-processing of annotations. In addition, we present an implementation of the proposal by means of a developed flexible and extendable software prototype nested in hybrid touchscreen/laptop device.

  Vision-language pre-training has emerged as a promising alternative for representation learning. It shifts from the tradition of using images and discrete labels for learning a fixed set of weights, seen as visual concepts, to aligning images and raw text for two separate encoders. Such a paradigm benefits from a broader source of supervision and allows zero-shot transfer to downstream tasks.

We propose a new framework, called PAIA, to learn the class prototype representation in a metric space by integrating image-level annotations.
