• Abstract: Training high-quality instance segmentation models requires an abundance of labeled images with instance masks and classifications, which is often expensive to procure. Active learning addresses this challenge by striving for optimum performance with minimal labeling cost by selecting the most informative and representative images for labeling. Despite its potential, active learning has been less explored in instance segmentation compared to other tasks like image classification, which require less labeling. In this study, we propose a post-hoc active learning algorithm that integrates uncertainty-based sampling with diversity-based sampling. Our proposed algorithm is not only simple and easy to implement, but it also delivers superior performance on various datasets. Its practical application is demonstrated on a real-world overhead imagery dataset, where it increases the labeling efficiency fivefold.

  The article proposes a novel small sample instance segmentation solution from the perspective of maximizing the utilization of existing information. First, it helps the model fully utilize unlabeled data by learning to generate pseudo labels, increasing the number of available samples. Second, by integrating the features of text and image, more accurate classification results can be obtained.

  This paper presents a Self-supervised Low-Rank Network ( SLRNet) for single-stage weakly supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) and semi-supervised semantic segmentation (SSSS) SLRNet uses cross-view self-supervision, that is, it simultaneously predicts several attentive LR representations from different views of an image to learn precise pseudo-labels. Experiments on the Pascal VOC 2012, COCO, and L2ID datasets demonstrate that our SLRNet outperforms both state-of-the-art WSSS and SSSS methods with a variety of different settings.

  Few-shot semantic segmentation addresses the learning task in which only few images with ground truth pixel-level labels are available for the novel classes of interest. We propose a novel meta-learning framework, which predicts pseudo pixel-level segmentation masks from a limited amount of data and their semantic labels. Our proposed learning model can be viewed as a pixel-level meta-learner.

  Being able to segment unseen classes not observed during training is an important technical challenge in deep learning. Prior zero-label semantic segmentation works approach this task by learning visual-semantic embeddings or generative models. We propose a consistency regularizer to filter out noisy pseudo-labels by taking the intersections of the pseudo-labels generated from different augmentations of the same image.

• Minimax Active Learning [61.729667575374606]
  Active learning aims to develop label-efficient algorithms by querying the most representative samples to be labeled by a human annotator. Current active learning techniques either rely on model uncertainty to select the most uncertain samples or use clustering or reconstruction to choose the most diverse set of unlabeled examples. We develop a semi-supervised minimax entropy-based active learning algorithm that leverages both uncertainty and diversity in an adversarial manner.
