• Abstract: Although deep learning are commonly employed for image recognition, usually huge amount of labeled training data is required, which may not always be readily available. This leads to a noticeable performance disparity when compared to state-of-the-art unsupervised face verification techniques. In this work, we propose a method to narrow this gap by leveraging an autoencoder to convert the face image vector into a novel representation. Notably, the autoencoder is trained to reconstruct neighboring face image vectors rather than the original input image vectors. These neighbor face image vectors are chosen through an unsupervised process based on the highest cosine scores with the training face image vectors. The proposed method achieves a relative improvement of 56\% in terms of EER over the baseline system on Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) dataset. This has successfully narrowed down the performance gap between cosine and PLDA scoring systems.

  We propose a novel method for object co-segmentation, i.e. pixel-level localization of a common object in a set of images. The method achieves state-of-the-art performance among methods trained with the same level of supervision. The benefits of the proposed co-segmentation method are further demonstrated in the task of large-scale sketch recognition.

  Masked image modeling is a promising self-supervised learning method for visual data. We present AutoMAE, a framework that uses Gumbel-Softmax to interlink an adversarially-trained mask generator and a mask-guided image modeling process. In our experiments, AutoMAE is shown to provide effective pretraining models on standard self-supervised benchmarks and downstream tasks.

  In computer vision, it is evident that deep neural networks perform better in a supervised setting with a large amount of labeled data. In this work, we propose that, with the normalized temperature-scaled cross-entropy (NT-Xent) loss function, it is beneficial to not have images of the same category in the same batch. We use the latent space representation of a denoising autoencoder trained on the unlabeled dataset and cluster them with k-means to obtain pseudo labels.
