On learning to localize objects with minimal supervision
Learning to localize objects with minimal supervision is an important problem in computer vision, since large fully annotated datasets are extremely costly to obtain. In this paper, we propose a new method that achieves this goal with only image-level labels of whether the objects are present or not. Our approach combines a discriminative submodular cover problem for automatically discovering a set of positive object windows with a smoothed latent SVM formulation. The latter allows us to leverage efficient quasi-Newton optimization techniques. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach provides a 50% relative improvement in mean average precision over the current state-of-the-art on PASCAL VOC 2007 detection.

Object Permanence Emerges in a Random Walk along Memory
This paper proposes a self-supervised objective for learning representations that localize objects under occlusion - a property known as object permanence. A central question is the choice of learning signal in cases of …
ObjectLOOC: Localize Overlapping Objects with Count Supervision
Acquiring count annotations generally requires less human effort than point-level and bounding box annotations. Thus, we propose the novel problem setup of localizing objects in dense scenes under this weaker supervision…
Motion-Refined DINOSAUR for Unsupervised Multi-Object Discovery
Unsupervised multi-object discovery (MOD) aims to detect and localize distinct object instances in visual scenes without any form of human supervision. Recent approaches leverage object-centric learning (OCL) and motion …

Per-pixel masks of semantic objects are very useful in many applications, which, however, are tedious to be annotated. In this paper, we propose a human-agent collaborative annotation approach that can efficiently genera…
