• Abstract: Self-supervised learning has shown superior performances over supervised methods on various vision benchmarks. The siamese network, which encourages embeddings to be invariant to distortions, is one of the most successful self-supervised visual representation learning approaches. Among all the augmentation methods, masking is the most general and straightforward method that has the potential to be applied to all kinds of input and requires the least amount of domain knowledge. However, masked siamese networks require particular inductive bias and practically only work well with Vision Transformers. This work empirically studies the problems behind masked siamese networks with ConvNets. We propose several empirical designs to overcome these problems gradually. Our method performs competitively on low-shot image classification and outperforms previous methods on object detection benchmarks. We discuss several remaining issues and hope this work can provide useful data points for future general-purpose self-supervised learning.

  In this paper, we focus on the complex yet highly realistic task of incomplete multi-view weak multi-label learning. We propose a masked two-channel decoupling framework based on deep neural networks to solve this problem. Our model is fully adaptable to arbitrary view and label absences while also performing well on the ideal full data.

  Appearance-based gaze estimation has been attracting attention in computer vision, and remarkable improvements have been achieved using various deep learning techniques.

Our experimental results verify the robustness of the method in that it yields state-of-the-art performance, achieving 3.89 and 4.42 on the MPIIGaze and EyeDiap datasets, respectively.
