Class-Aware Universum Inspired Re-Balance Learning for Long-Tailed Recognition

Data augmentation for minority classes is an effective strategy for long-tailed recognition, thus developing a large number of methods. Although these methods all ensure the balance in sample quantity, the quality of the augmented samples is not always satisfactory for recognition, being prone to such problems as over-fitting, lack of diversity, semantic drift, etc. For these issues, we propose the Class-aware Universum Inspired Re-balance Learning(CaUIRL) for long-tailed recognition, which endows the Universum with class-aware ability to re-balance individual minority classes from both sample quantity and quality. In particular, we theoretically prove that the classifiers learned by CaUIRL are consistent with those learned under the balanced condition from a Bayesian perspective. In addition, we further develop a higher-order mixup approach, which can automatically generate class-aware Universum(CaU) data without resorting to any external data. Unlike the traditional Universum, such generated Universum additionally takes the domain similarity, class separability, and sample diversity into account. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate the surprising advantages of our method, especially the top1 accuracy in minority classes is improved by 1.9% 6% compared to the state-of-the-art method.
