• Abstract: The use of remote sensing in humanitarian crisis response missions is well-established and has proven relevant repeatedly. One of the problems is obtaining gold annotations as it is costly and time consuming which makes it almost impossible to fine-tune models to new regions affected by the crisis. Where time is critical, resources are limited and environment is constantly changing, models has to evolve and provide flexible ways to adapt to a new situation. The question that we want to answer is if prioritization of samples provide better results in fine-tuning vs other classical sampling methods under annotated data scarcity? We propose a method to guide data collection during fine-tuning, based on estimated model and sample properties, like predicted IOU score. We propose two formulas for calculating sample priority. Our approach blends techniques from interpretability, representation learning and active learning. We have applied our method to a deep learning model for semantic segmentation, U-Net, in a remote sensing application of building detection - one of the core use cases of remote sensing in humanitarian applications. Preliminary results shows utility in prioritization of samples for tuning semantic segmentation models under scarcity of data condition.

  We propose a downstream-pretext domain knowledge traceback (DOKT) method that traces the data interactions of downstream knowledge and pre-training guidance. DOKT consists of a traceback diversity indicator and a domain-based uncertainty estimator. Experiments conducted on ten datasets show that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

IDM provides an uncertainty-based selection criterion to identify the most informative samples, which facilitates quick adaptation and reduces redundant training.
