- Abstract: We analyze data leakage in visual datasets. Data leakage refers to images in evaluation benchmarks that have been seen during training, compromising fair model evaluation. Given that large-scale datasets are often sourced from the internet, where many computer vision benchmarks are publicly available, our efforts are focused into identifying and studying this phenomenon. We characterize visual leakage into different types according to its modality, coverage, and degree. By applying image retrieval techniques, we unequivocally show that all the analyzed datasets present some form of leakage, and that all types of leakage, from severe instances to more subtle cases, compromise the reliability of model evaluation in downstream tasks.

Acquiring fine-grained object detection annotations in unconstrained images is time-consuming, expensive, and prone to noise.
We propose a novel Bayesian Detector Combination (BDC) framework to more effectively train object detectors with noisy crowdsourced annotations.
BDC is model-agnostic, requires no prior knowledge of the annotators' skill level, and seamlessly integrates with existing object detection models.

Benchmark datasets in computer vision often contain off-topic images, near duplicates, and label errors.
In this paper, we revisit the task of data cleaning and formalize it as either a ranking problem, or a scoring problem.
We find that a specific combination of context-aware self-supervised representation learning and distance-based indicators is effective in finding issues without annotation biases.
