• Title: Hierarchical Multi-Label Classification with Missing Information for Benthic Habitat Imagery
• Authors: Isaac Xu, Benjamin Misiuk, Scott C. Lowe, Martin Gillis, Craig J. Brown, Thomas Trappenberg,
• Abstract summary: We show the capacity to conduct HML training in scenarios where there exist multiple levels of missing annotation information. We find that, when using smaller one-hot image label datasets typical of local or regional scale benthic science projects, models pre-trained with self-supervision on a larger collection of in-domain benthic data outperform models pre-trained on ImageNet.

• Abstract: In this work, we apply state-of-the-art self-supervised learning techniques on a large dataset of seafloor imagery, \textit{BenthicNet}, and study their performance for a complex hierarchical multi-label (HML) classification downstream task. In particular, we demonstrate the capacity to conduct HML training in scenarios where there exist multiple levels of missing annotation information, an important scenario for handling heterogeneous real-world data collected by multiple research groups with differing data collection protocols. We find that, when using smaller one-hot image label datasets typical of local or regional scale benthic science projects, models pre-trained with self-supervision on a larger collection of in-domain benthic data outperform models pre-trained on ImageNet. In the HML setting, we find the model can attain a deeper and more precise classification if it is pre-trained with self-supervision on in-domain data. We hope this work can establish a benchmark for future models in the field of automated underwater image annotation tasks and can guide work in other domains with hierarchical annotations of mixed resolution.

  Web-scale visual entity recognition presents significant challenges due to the lack of clean, large-scale training data. We propose a novel methodology to curate such a dataset, leveraging a multimodal large language model (LLM) for label verification, metadata generation, and rationale explanation. Experiments demonstrate that models trained on this automatically curated data achieve state-of-the-art performance on web-scale visual entity recognition tasks.

We introduce a framework involving both mask image modelling and clustering as pretext tasks, which performs better across all low-shot downstream tasks. When testing the model on full scale datasets, we show performance gains in multi-class classification, multi-label classification and semantic segmentation.

  Diffusion models have risen to prominence as a state-of-the-art method for image generation, denoising, inpainting, super-resolution, manipulation, etc. We present our findings that these embeddings are useful beyond the noise prediction task, as they contain discriminative information and can also be leveraged for classification. We find that with careful feature selection and pooling, diffusion models outperform comparable generative-discriminative methods for classification tasks.

  We present Contrastive Spatial Pre-Training (CSP), a self-supervised learning framework for geo-tagged images. We use a dual-encoder to separately encode the images and their corresponding geo-locations, and use contrastive objectives to learn effective location representations from images. CSP significantly boosts the model performance with 10-34% relative improvement with various labeled training data sampling ratios.

  We propose a unified framework, termed as Multi-Dataset Pretraining, to take full advantage of the fragmented annotations of different datasets.

In order to better model the relationship among images and classes from different datasets, we extend the pixel level embeddings via cross dataset mixing.
