• Authors: Xianglin Yang, Jin Song Dong,
• Abstract summary: We introduce SentryCam, an automated, real-time visualization tool that reveals the progression of hidden representations during training. Our results show that this visualization offers a more comprehensive view of the learning dynamics compared to basic metrics. SentryCam could facilitate detailed analysis such as task transfer and catastrophic forgetting to a continual learning setting.

• Abstract: Monitoring the training of neural networks is essential for identifying potential data anomalies, enabling timely interventions and conserving significant computational resources. Apart from the commonly used metrics such as losses and validation accuracies, the hidden representation could give more insight into the model progression. To this end, we introduce SentryCam, an automated, real-time visualization tool that reveals the progression of hidden representations during training. Our results show that this visualization offers a more comprehensive view of the learning dynamics compared to basic metrics such as loss and accuracy over various datasets. Furthermore, we show that SentryCam could facilitate detailed analysis such as task transfer and catastrophic forgetting to a continual learning setting. The code is available at https://github.com/xianglinyang/SentryCam.

  Continual learning requires a model to adapt to ongoing changes in the data distribution. We show that the combination of a large language model and an image generation model can similarly provide useful premonitions. We find that the backbone of our pre-trained networks can learn representations useful for the downstream continual learning problem.

  This thesis explores several data sensitivities of modern machine learning. We first discuss how to prevent ML from codifying prior human discrimination measured in the training data. We then discuss the problem of learning from data containing spurious features, which provide predictive fidelity during training but are unreliable upon deployment.

  We find that visual representations designed for manipulation and control tasks do not necessarily generalize under subtle changes in lighting and scene texture. We find that emergent segmentation ability is a strong predictor of out-of-distribution generalization among ViT models.

  This paper extends the scope of continual learning research to class-incremental learning for multiple object tracking (MOT) Previous solutions for continual learning of object detectors do not address the data association stage of appearance-based trackers. We introduce COOLer, a COntrastive- and cOntinual-Learning-based tracker, which incrementally learns to track new categories while preserving past knowledge.

  Scene graph models usually require supervised learning on large quantities of labeled data with intensive human annotation. We propose visual distant supervision, a novel paradigm of visual relation learning, which can train scene graph models without any human-labeled data. Comprehensive experimental results show that our distantly supervised model outperforms strong weakly supervised and semi-supervised baselines.

  We propose to learn data representations with a novel type of denoising autoencoder. The noisy input data is generated by corrupting latent clean data in the gradient domain. Experiments on several visual benchmarks demonstrate that better representations can be learned with the proposed approach.
