• Abstract summary: We present a dataset of plant images with representatives of crops and weeds common to the Manitoba prairies at different growth stages. We determine the learning curve for a classification task on this data with the ResNet architecture. We investigate how label noise and the reduction of trainable parameters impacts the learning curve on this dataset.

• Abstract: In the context of supervised machine learning a learning curve describes how a model's performance on unseen data relates to the amount of samples used to train the model. In this paper we present a dataset of plant images with representatives of crops and weeds common to the Manitoba prairies at different growth stages. We determine the learning curve for a classification task on this data with the ResNet architecture. Our results are in accordance with previous studies and add to the evidence that learning curves are governed by power-law relationships over large scales, applications, and models. We further investigate how label noise and the reduction of trainable parameters impacts the learning curve on this dataset. Both effects lead to the model requiring disproportionally larger training sets to achieve the same classification performance as observed without these effects.

  We offer a novel perspective on long-tail learning, inspired by an observation: datasets with finer granularity tend to be less affected by data imbalance. We introduce open-set auxiliary classes that are visually similar to existing ones, aiming to enhance representation learning for both head and tail classes. To prevent the overwhelming presence of auxiliary classes from disrupting training, we introduce a neighbor-silencing loss.

  This paper proposes a novel framework to reinforce classification models using language-guided generated counterfactual images. We identify model weaknesses by testing the model using the counterfactual image dataset. We employ the counterfactual images as an augmented dataset to fine-tune and reinforce the classification model.

  In this paper, we establish a bridge between identifying detrimental training samples via influence functions and outlier gradient detection. We first validate the hypothesis of our proposed outlier gradient analysis approach on synthetic datasets. We then demonstrate its effectiveness in detecting mislabeled samples in vision models and selecting data samples for improving performance of natural language processing transformer models.

  Learning curves are a measure for how the performance of machine learning models improves given a certain volume of training data. Over a wide variety of applications and models it was observed that learning curves follow -- to a large extent -- a power law behavior. By estimating the learning curve of a model from training on small subsets of data only the best models need to be considered for training on the full dataset.

  Recent research on robustness has revealed significant performance gaps between neural image classifiers trained on datasets similar to the test set. We study the question: How do generated datasets influence the natural robustness of image classifiers? We find that Imagenet classifiers trained on real data augmented with generated data achieve higher accuracy and effective robustness than standard training.

  We propose a new learning paradigm with graph representation and learning. Our framework contains two modules: 1) a backbone network (e.g., feedforward neural nets) as a lower model takes features as input and outputs predicted labels; 2) a graph neural network as an upper model learns to extrapolate embeddings for new features via message passing over a feature-data graph built from observed data.

  Replay in neural networks involves training on sequential data with memorized samples, which counteracts forgetting of previous behavior caused by non-stationarity. We present a method where these auxiliary samples are generated on the fly, given only the model that is being trained for the assessed objective. Instead the implicit memory of learned samples within the assessed model itself is exploited.
