• Abstract summary: We propose the Latent Categories based long-tail Recognition (LCReg) method. Our hypothesis is that common latent features shared by head and tail classes can be used to improve feature representation. Specifically, we learn a set of class-agnostic latent features shared by both head and tail classes, and then use semantic data augmentation on the latent features to implicitly increase the diversity of the training sample.

• Abstract: In this work, we tackle the challenging problem of long-tailed image recognition. Previous long-tailed recognition approaches mainly focus on data augmentation or re-balancing strategies for the tail classes to give them more attention during model training. However, these methods are limited by the small number of training images for the tail classes, which results in poor feature representations. To address this issue, we propose the Latent Categories based long-tail Recognition (LCReg) method. Our hypothesis is that common latent features shared by head and tail classes can be used to improve feature representation. Specifically, we learn a set of class-agnostic latent features shared by both head and tail classes, and then use semantic data augmentation on the latent features to implicitly increase the diversity of the training sample. We conduct extensive experiments on five long-tailed image recognition datasets, and the results show that our proposed method significantly improves the baselines.

  We offer a novel perspective on long-tail learning, inspired by an observation: datasets with finer granularity tend to be less affected by data imbalance. We introduce open-set auxiliary classes that are visually similar to existing ones, aiming to enhance representation learning for both head and tail classes. To prevent the overwhelming presence of auxiliary classes from disrupting training, we introduce a neighbor-silencing loss.

  We propose a novel long-tailed graph-level classification framework via Collaborative Multi-expert Learning (CoMe) To equilibrate the contributions of head and tail classes, we first develop balanced contrastive learning from the view of representation learning. We execute gated fusion and disentangled knowledge distillation among the multiple experts to promote the collaboration in a multi-expert framework.

• Improving Tail-Class Representation with Centroid Contrastive Learning [145.73991900239017]
  We propose interpolative centroid contrastive learning (ICCL) to improve long-tailed representation learning. ICCL interpolates two images from a class-agnostic sampler and a class-aware sampler, and trains the model such that the representation of the ICCL can be used to retrieve the centroids for both source classes. Our result shows a significant accuracy gain of 2.8% on the iNaturalist 2018 dataset with a real-world long-tailed distribution.

  Real-world imagery is often characterized by a significant imbalance of the number of images per class, leading to long-tailed distributions. In this work, we introduce a new framework, by making the key observation that a feature representation learned with instance sampling is far from optimal in a long-tailed setting. Our main contribution is a new training method, that leverages knowledge distillation to enhance feature representations.
