• Abstract summary: This paper contributes to this direction by actively curating difficult samples in datasets without increasing the total number of samples. Experiments on the Flickr30K and COCO datasets with the BLIP and BEiT-3 models demonstrate that these curation methods do indeed yield improved image captioning models.

• Abstract: Image captioning models are typically trained by treating all samples equally, neglecting to account for mismatched or otherwise difficult data points. In contrast, recent work has shown the effectiveness of training models by scheduling the data using curriculum learning strategies. This paper contributes to this direction by actively curating difficult samples in datasets without increasing the total number of samples. We explore the effect of using three data curation methods within the training process: complete removal of an sample, caption replacement, or image replacement via a text-to-image generation model. Experiments on the Flickr30K and COCO datasets with the BLIP and BEiT-3 models demonstrate that these curation methods do indeed yield improved image captioning models, underscoring their efficacy.

  Diffusion models have a tendency to exactly replicate their training data, especially when trained on small datasets. We present CPSample, a method that modifies the sampling process to prevent training data replication while preserving image quality. CPSample achieves FID scores of 4.97 and 2.97 on CIFAR-10 and CelebA-64, respectively, without producing exact replicates of the training data.

  We propose a framework for synthesizing classification datasets that more faithfully represents the real data distribution. DataDream fine-tunes LoRA weights for the image generation model on the few real images before generating the training data using the adapted model. We then fine-tune LoRA weights for CLIP using the synthetic data to improve downstream image classification over previous approaches on a large variety of datasets.

  The goal of data attribution for text-to-image models is to identify the training images that most influence the generation of a new image. We propose an efficient data attribution method by simulating unlearning the synthesized image. We then identify training images with significant loss deviations after the unlearning process and label these as influential.

  This paper proposes an Adaptive Data Augmentation Framework based on the tensor T-product Operator. It triples one image data to be trained and gain the result from all these three images together with only less than 0.1% increase in the number of parameters. Numerical experiments show that our data augmentation framework can improve the performance of original neural network model by 2%.

  This paper explores training medical vision-language models (VLMs) where the visual and language inputs are embedded into a common space. We explore several candidate methods to improve low-data performance, including adapting generic pre-trained models to novel image and text domains. Using text-to-image retrieval as a benchmark, we evaluate the performance of these methods with variable sized training datasets of paired chest X-rays and radiological reports.
