• Abstract: Research in child development has shown that embodied experience handling physical objects contributes to many cognitive abilities, including visual learning. One characteristic of such experience is that the learner sees the same object from several different viewpoints. In this paper, we study how learning signals that equate different viewpoints -- e.g., assigning similar representations to different views of a single object -- can support robust visual learning. We use the Toybox dataset, which contains egocentric videos of humans manipulating different objects, and conduct experiments using a computer vision framework for self-supervised contrastive learning. We find that representations learned by equating different physical viewpoints of an object benefit downstream image classification accuracy. Further experiments show that this performance improvement is robust to variations in the gaps between viewpoints, and that the benefits transfer to several different image classification tasks.

• When Does Perceptual Alignment Benefit Vision Representations? [76.32336818860965]
  We investigate how aligning vision model representations to human perceptual judgments impacts their usability. We find that aligning models to perceptual judgments yields representations that improve upon the original backbones across many downstream tasks. Our results suggest that injecting an inductive bias about human perceptual knowledge into vision models can contribute to better representations.

  We consider a novel problem of learning compositional scene representations from multiple unspecified viewpoints without using any supervision. We propose a deep generative model which separates latent representations into a viewpoint-independent part and a viewpoint-dependent part to solve this problem. Experiments on several specifically designed synthetic datasets have shown that the proposed method can effectively learn from multiple unspecified viewpoints.

  We take a biologically inspired approach and explore to model peripheral vision in deep neural networks for visual recognition. We propose to incorporate peripheral position encoding to the multi-head self-attention layers to let the network learn to partition the visual field into diverse peripheral regions given training data. We evaluate the proposed network, dubbed PerViT, on the large-scale ImageNet dataset and systematically investigate the inner workings of the model for machine perception.

  We show that visual statistics mimicking those of a toddler improve object recognition accuracy in both familiar and novel environments. We argue that this effect is caused by the reduction of features extracted in the background, a neural network bias for large features in the image and a greater similarity between novel and familiar background regions.
