• Title: On the robustness of self-supervised representations for multi-view object classification
• Authors: David Torpey and Richard Klein
• Abstract summary: We show that self-supervised representations based on the instance discrimination objective lead to better representations of objects that are more robust to changes in the viewpoint and perspective of the object. We find that self-supervised representations are more robust to object viewpoint and appear to encode more pertinent information about objects that facilitate the recognition of objects from novel views.

• Abstract: It is known that representations from self-supervised pre-training can perform on par, and often better, on various downstream tasks than representations from fully-supervised pre-training. This has been shown in a host of settings such as generic object classification and detection, semantic segmentation, and image retrieval. However, some issues have recently come to the fore that demonstrate some of the failure modes of self-supervised representations, such as performance on non-ImageNet-like data, or complex scenes. In this paper, we show that self-supervised representations based on the instance discrimination objective lead to better representations of objects that are more robust to changes in the viewpoint and perspective of the object. We perform experiments of modern self-supervised methods against multiple supervised baselines to demonstrate this, including approximating object viewpoint variation through homographies, and real-world tests based on several multi-view datasets. We find that self-supervised representations are more robust to object viewpoint and appear to encode more pertinent information about objects that facilitate the recognition of objects from novel views.

  Localizing objects in an unsupervised manner poses significant challenges due to the absence of key visual information. We propose a single-stage learning framework, dubbed PEEKABOO, for unsupervised object localization. The key idea is to selectively hide parts of an image and leverage the remaining image information to infer the location of objects without explicit supervision.

  We propose a distributed approach to object-centric representations: the Complex AutoEncoder. We show that this simple and efficient approach achieves better reconstruction performance than an equivalent real-valued autoencoder on simple multi-object datasets. We also show that it achieves competitive unsupervised object discovery performance to a SlotAttention model on two datasets, and manages to disentangle objects in a third dataset where SlotAttention fails - all while being 7-70 times faster to train.

Inspired by the principle of maximum entropy, we introduce a novel self-supervised task, instance-level temporal cycle confusion (CycConf) For each object, the task is to find the most different object proposals in the adjacent frame in a video and then cycle back to itself for self-supervision.
