• Title: Self-Supervision on Images and Text Reduces Reliance on Visual Shortcut Features
• Authors: Anil Palepu, Andrew L Beam
• Abstract summary: Shortcut features are inputs that are associated with the outcome of interest in the training data, but are either no longer associated or not present in testing or deployment settings. We show that self-supervised models trained on images and text provide more robust image representations and reduce the model's reliance on visual shortcut features.

• Abstract: Deep learning models trained in a fully supervised manner have been shown to rely on so-called "shortcut" features. Shortcut features are inputs that are associated with the outcome of interest in the training data, but are either no longer associated or not present in testing or deployment settings. Here we provide experiments that show recent self-supervised models trained on images and text provide more robust image representations and reduce the model's reliance on visual shortcut features on a realistic medical imaging example. Additionally, we find that these self-supervised models "forget" shortcut features more quickly than fully supervised ones when fine-tuned on labeled data. Though not a complete solution, our experiments provide compelling evidence that self-supervised models trained on images and text provide some resilience to visual shortcut features.

  We introduce Self-Training on Image (STIC), which emphasizes a self-training approach specifically for image comprehension. First, the model self-constructs a preference for image descriptions using unlabeled images. To further self-improve reasoning on the extracted visual information, we let the model reuse a small portion of existing instruction-tuning data.

  We propose a more challenging reformulation of temporal self-supervision as frame-level (rather than clip-level) recognition tasks. We demonstrate experimentally that our more challenging frame-level task formulations and the removal of shortcuts drastically improve the quality of features learned through temporal self-supervision.

  Self-supervised multi-object trackers have tremendous potential as they enable learning from raw domain-specific data. However, their re-identification accuracy still falls short compared to their supervised counterparts. We propose a training objective that enables self-supervised learning of re-identification features from multiple sequential frames.

  VAL-PAT is a novel framework that learns transferable representations to enhance various pedestrian analysis tasks with multimodal information. We first perform pre-training on LUPerson-TA dataset, where each image contains text and attribute annotations. We then transfer the learned representations to various downstream tasks, including person reID, person attribute recognition and text-based person search.

  We study unsupervised video representation learning that seeks to learn both motion and appearance features from unlabeled video only. It is difficult to construct a suitable self-supervised task to well model both motion and appearance features. We propose a new way to perceive the playback speed and exploit the relative speed between two video clips as labels.

• Automatic Shortcut Removal for Self-Supervised Representation Learning [39.636691159890354]
  In self-supervised visual representation learning, a feature extractor is trained on a "pretext task" for which labels can be generated cheaply, without human annotation. Much work has gone into identifying such "shortcut" features and hand-designing schemes to reduce their effect. We show that this assumption holds across common pretext tasks and datasets by training a "lens" network to make small image changes that maximally reduce performance in the pretext task.
