• Abstract summary: The complexity-precision trade-off of an object detector is a critical problem for resource constrained vision tasks. It is hypothesized that improved detection efficiency requires a paradigm shift, towards the unequal processing of proposals. This results in better utilization of available computational budget, enabling higher accuracy for the same FLOPS.

• Abstract: The complexity-precision trade-off of an object detector is a critical problem for resource constrained vision tasks. Previous works have emphasized detectors implemented with efficient backbones. The impact on this trade-off of proposal processing by the detection head is investigated in this work. It is hypothesized that improved detection efficiency requires a paradigm shift, towards the unequal processing of proposals, assigning more computation to good proposals than poor ones. This results in better utilization of available computational budget, enabling higher accuracy for the same FLOPS. We formulate this as a learning problem where the goal is to assign operators to proposals, in the detection head, so that the total computational cost is constrained and the precision is maximized. The key finding is that such matching can be learned as a function that maps each proposal embedding into a one-hot code over operators. While this function induces a complex dynamic network routing mechanism, it can be implemented by a simple MLP and learned end-to-end with off-the-shelf object detectors. This 'dynamic proposal processing' (DPP) is shown to outperform state-of-the-art end-to-end object detectors (DETR, Sparse R-CNN) by a clear margin for a given computational complexity.

  This work aims at advancing temporal action detection (TAD) using an encoder-decoder framework with action queries. We first propose a relational attention mechanism in the decoder, which guides the attention among queries based on their relations. Lastly, we propose to predict the localization quality of each action query at inference in order to distinguish high-quality queries.

  Neural networks can learn complex, non- adversarial functions, and it is challenging to guarantee their correct behavior in safety-critical contexts. Many approaches exist to find failures in networks (e.g., adversarial examples), but these cannot guarantee the absence of failures. We propose an approach that integrates the optimization process into the verification procedure, achieving better performance than the naive approach.
