Associative Transformer

Yuwei Sun, Hideya Ochiai, Zhirong Wu +2

Emerging from the pairwise attention in conventional Transformers, there is a growing interest in sparse attention mechanisms that align more closely with localized, contextual lea…

Bootstrapping Objectness from Videos by Relaxed Common Fate and Visual Grouping

Long Lian, Zhirong Wu, Stella X. Yu

We study learning object segmentation from unlabeled videos. Humans can easily segment moving objects without knowing what they are. The Gestalt law of common fate, i.e., what move…

Improving Unsupervised Video Object Segmentation with Motion-Appearance Synergy

Long Lian, Zhirong Wu, Stella X. Yu

We present IMAS, a method that segments the primary objects in videos without manual annotation in training or inference. Previous methods in unsupervised video object segmentation…

Randomized Quantization: A Generic Augmentation for Data Agnostic Self-supervised Learning

Huimin Wu, Chenyang Lei, Xiao Sun +5

Self-supervised representation learning follows a paradigm of withholding some part of the data and tasking the network to predict it from the remaining part. Among many techniques…

Animation from Blur: Multi-modal Blur Decomposition with Motion Guidance

Zhihang Zhong, Xiao Sun, Zhirong Wu +3

We study the challenging problem of recovering detailed motion from a single motion-blurred image. Existing solutions to this problem estimate a single image sequence without consi…

Instance Localization for Self-supervised Detection Pretraining

Ceyuan Yang, Zhirong Wu, Bolei Zhou +1

Prior research on self-supervised learning has led to considerable progress on image classification, but often with degraded transfer performance on object detection. The objective…

What makes instance discrimination good for transfer learning?

Nanxuan Zhao, Zhirong Wu, Rynson W. H. Lau +1

Contrastive visual pretraining based on the instance discrimination pretext task has made significant progress. Notably, recent work on unsupervised pretraining has shown to surpas…

A Transductive Approach for Video Object Segmentation

Yizhuo Zhang, Zhirong Wu, Houwen Peng +1

Semi-supervised video object segmentation aims to separate a target object from a video sequence, given the mask in the first frame. Most of current prevailing methods utilize info…

Distilling Localization for Self-Supervised Representation Learning

Nanxuan Zhao, Zhirong Wu, Rynson W. H. Lau +1

Recent progress in contrastive learning has revolutionized unsupervised representation learning. Concretely, multiple views (augmentations) from the same image are encouraged to ma…

Deep Metric Transfer for Label Propagation with Limited Annotated Data

Bin Liu, Zhirong Wu, Han Hu +1

We study object recognition under the constraint that each object class is only represented by very few observations. Semi-supervised learning, transfer learning, and few-shot reco…

Improving Generalization via Scalable Neighborhood Component Analysis

Zhirong Wu, Alexei A. Efros, Stella X. Yu

Current major approaches to visual recognition follow an end-to-end formulation that classifies an input image into one of the pre-determined set of semantic categories. Parametric…

Unsupervised Feature Learning via Non-Parametric Instance-level Discrimination

Zhirong Wu, Yuanjun Xiong, Stella Yu +1

Neural net classifiers trained on data with annotated class labels can also capture apparent visual similarity among categories without being directed to do so. We study whether th…

Temporal Action Detection with Structured Segment Networks

Yue Zhao, Yuanjun Xiong, Limin Wang +3

Detecting actions in untrimmed videos is an important yet challenging task. In this paper, we present the structured segment network (SSN), a novel framework which models the tempo…

Deep Markov Random Field for Image Modeling

Zhirong Wu, Dahua Lin, Xiaoou Tang

Markov Random Fields (MRFs), a formulation widely used in generative image modeling, have long been plagued by the lack of expressive power. This issue is primarily due to the fact…

3D ShapeNets: A Deep Representation for Volumetric Shapes

Zhirong Wu, Shuran Song, Aditya Khosla +4

3D shape is a crucial but heavily underutilized cue in today's computer vision systems, mostly due to the lack of a good generic shape representation. With the recent availability…
