• Abstract: Object-Centric Learning (OCL) seeks to enable Neural Networks to identify individual objects in visual scenes, which is crucial for interpretable visual comprehension and reasoning. Most existing OCL models adopt auto-encoding structures and learn to decompose visual scenes through specially designed inductive bias, which causes the model to miss small objects during reconstruction. Reverse hierarchy theory proposes that human vision corrects perception errors through a top-down visual pathway that returns to bottom-level neurons and acquires more detailed information, inspired by which we propose Reverse Hierarchy Guided Network (RHGNet) that introduces a top-down pathway that works in different ways in the training and inference processes. This pathway allows for guiding bottom-level features with top-level object representations during training, as well as encompassing information from bottom-level features into perception during inference. Our model achieves SOTA performance on several commonly used datasets including CLEVR, CLEVRTex and MOVi-C. We demonstrate with experiments that our method promotes the discovery of small objects and also generalizes well on complex real-world scenes.

  We propose a novel OCL framework incorporating a top-down pathway. This pathway bootstraps the semantics of individual objects and then modulates the model to prioritize features relevant to these semantics. Our framework achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple synthetic and real-world object-discovery benchmarks.

  Deciphering visual content from functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) helps illuminate the human vision system.

We propose shallow subject-specific adapters to map cross-subject fMRI data into unified representations. During training, we leverage both visual and textual supervision for multi-modal brain decoding.
