Semi-Supervised Self-Training of Object Detection Models

چکیده
The construction of appearance-based object detection systems is time-consuming and difficult because a large number of training examples must be collected and manually labeled in order to capture variations in object appearance. Semi-supervised training is a means for reducing the effort needed to prepare the training set by training the model with a small number of fully labeled examples and an additional set of unlabeled or weakly labeled examples. In this work we present a semi-supervised approach to training object detection systems based on self-training. We implement our approach as a wrapper around the training process of an existing object detector and present empirical results. The key contributions of this empirical study is to demonstrate that a model trained in this manner can achieve results comparable to a model trained in the traditional manner using a much larger set of fully labeled data, and that a training data selection metric that is defined independently of the detector greatly outperforms a selection metric based on the detection confidence generated by the detector.

Appearance-based object detection systems using statistical models have proven quite successful. They can reliably detect textured, rigid objects in a variety of poses, lighting conditions and scales. However, the construction of these systems is time-consuming and difficult because a large number of training examples must be collected and manually labeled in order to capture variations in obje...
متن کاملData Distillation: Towards Omni-Supervised Learning
We investigate omni-supervised learning, a special regime of semi-supervised learning in which the learner exploits all available labeled data plus internet-scale sources of unlabeled data. Omni-supervised learning is lowerbounded by performance on existing labeled datasets, offering the potential to surpass state-of-the-art fully supervised methods. To exploit the omni-supervised setting, we p...

متن کاملFilling the Gap: Semi-Supervised Learning for Opinion Detection Across Domains
We investigate the use of Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) in opinion detection both in sparse data situations and for domain adaptation. We show that co-training reaches the best results in an in-domain setting with small labeled data sets, with a maximum absolute gain of 33.5%. For domain transfer, we show that self-training gains an absolute improvement in labeling accuracy for blog data of 16...
