• Title: Your Image is My Video: Reshaping the Receptive Field via Image-To-Video Differentiable AutoAugmentation and Fusion
• Authors: Sofia Casarin, Cynthia I. Ugwu, Sergio Escalera, Oswald Lanz,
• Abstract summary: We introduce the first Differentiable Augmentation Search method (DAS) to generate variations of images that can be processed as videos. DAS is extremely fast and flexible, allowing the search on very large search spaces in less than a GPU day. We leverage DAS to guide the reshaping of the spatial receptive field by selecting task-dependant transformations.

• Abstract: The landscape of deep learning research is moving towards innovative strategies to harness the true potential of data. Traditionally, emphasis has been on scaling model architectures, resulting in large and complex neural networks, which can be difficult to train with limited computational resources. However, independently of the model size, data quality (i.e. amount and variability) is still a major factor that affects model generalization. In this work, we propose a novel technique to exploit available data through the use of automatic data augmentation for the tasks of image classification and semantic segmentation. We introduce the first Differentiable Augmentation Search method (DAS) to generate variations of images that can be processed as videos. Compared to previous approaches, DAS is extremely fast and flexible, allowing the search on very large search spaces in less than a GPU day. Our intuition is that the increased receptive field in the temporal dimension provided by DAS could lead to benefits also to the spatial receptive field. More specifically, we leverage DAS to guide the reshaping of the spatial receptive field by selecting task-dependant transformations. As a result, compared to standard augmentation alternatives, we improve in terms of accuracy on ImageNet, Cifar10, Cifar100, Tiny-ImageNet, Pascal-VOC-2012 and CityScapes datasets when plugging-in our DAS over different light-weight video backbones.

  Traditional data augmentation methods cannot alter high-level semantic attributes. We propose a text-to-image diffusion model to parameterize image-to-image transformations. We achieve this goal by erasing instances of real objects from the original dataset and generating new instances with similar semantics in the erased regions.

  We propose Image-GS, a content-adaptive image representation. Using anisotropic 2D Gaussians as the basis, Image-GS shows high memory efficiency, supports fast random access, and offers a natural level of detail stack. General efficiency and fidelity of Image-GS are validated against several recent neural image representations and industry-standard texture compressors. We hope this research offers insights for developing new applications that require adaptive quality and resource control, such as machine perception, asset streaming, and content generation.
