Abstract

In video action detection, modeling the temporal dependencies in continuous video streams is crucial. Previous methods based on deep neural networks can perform frame-level video recognition tasks. However, these methods struggle to model dynamic temporal patterns, facing challenges such as redundant frame information, difficulty balancing global and local features, and insufficient fusion of visual and textual features. To address these issues, we propose a video temporal attention module based on the Multi-Scale Latent Temporal Compression Attention, which aggregates continuous temporal sequences into feature representations across diverse temporal scales while efficiently reducing redundancy. We also introduce a Video-Text Cross Attention Fusion module that leverages cross-attention at both latent and standard feature levels, achieving fine-grained fusion between video and textual features to enhance semantic alignment and feature interaction. Experimental results across multiple video recognition benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed methods achieve superior performance compared to existing methods, validating the effectiveness and generalization capability.

DetoxAI: a Python Toolkit for Debiasing Deep Learning Models in Computer Vision

While machine learning fairness has made significant progress in recent years, most existing solutions focus on tabular data and are poorly suited for vision-based classification tasks, which rely heavily on deep learning. To bridge this gap, we introduce DetoxAI, an open-source Python library for improving fairness in deep learning vision classifiers through post-hoc debiasing. DetoxAI implements state-of-the-art debiasing algorithms, fairness metrics, and visualization tools. It supports debiasing via interventions in internal representations and includes attribution-based visualization tools and quantitative algorithmic fairness metrics to show how bias is mitigated. This paper presents the motivation, design, and use cases of DetoxAI, demonstrating its tangible value to engineers and researchers.

AutoExpert: Automating 3D LiDAR Annotation from Expert-Crafted Guidelines

The contemporary paradigm of scaling data annotation, crucial for developing machine learning solutions, is to hire ordinary human annotators and instruct them with expert-crafted guidelines to label data. This paradigm is laborious, tedious, and costly, motivating us to study an open problem, auto-annotation with expert-crafted guidelines (dubbed AutoExpert). We develop benchmarks by redesigning the evaluation protocol and re-annotating data with nuScenes and PandaSet, two 3D detection datasets for autonomous driving research that provide expert-crafted annotation guidelines. Their guidelines define 18 and 25 object classes, respectively, using nuanced language descriptions and a few visual examples. Following the guidelines that require using 3D cuboids to label LiDAR data, AutoExpert requires algorithms to learn on few-shot labeled images and texts to perform the task of 3D detection on LiDAR data. Apparently, the challenges of AutoExpert lie in the data-modality and task discrepancy. Nevertheless, public foundation models (FMs) serve as promising tools to tackle these challenges. To address AutoExpert, we adopt a conceptually simple pipeline consisting of three components: (1) 2D object detection and segmentation in RGB images, (2) lifting 2D detections into 3D using known sensor poses, and (3) 3D cuboids generation for the 2D detections. Within this pipeline, we enhance and evaluate a variety of methods such as open-vocabulary detectors, few-shot detectors, and self-supervised learned detectors. We also develop novel techniques, leading to refined components that boost 3D detection mAP from 12.1 to 25.4 on the AutoExpert-nuScenes benchmark.

Few-shot Classification as Multi-instance Verification: Effective Backbone-agnostic Transfer across Domains

We investigate cross-domain few-shot learning under the constraint that fine-tuning of backbones (i.e., feature extractors) is impossible or infeasible---a scenario that is increasingly common in practical use cases---and show how representing few-shot classification as a series of multiple instance verification (MIV) tasks enables competitive classification performance using the static embeddings produced by frozen, "black-box" backbones. More specifically, based on this novel representation, we introduce a new approach to few-shot domain adaptation named the "MIV-head": a classification head that is backbone-agnostic and computationally efficient. We show that the core components of the MIV-head, when trained on few-shot data from a target domain, collectively yield strong performance on test data from that domain. Importantly, they do so without fine-tuning the backbone, requiring only the "meta-testing" phase. In experiments under various settings on an extension of the Meta-Dataset benchmark for cross-domain few-shot image classification, using representative off-the-shelf convolutional neural network and vision transformer backbones pretrained on ImageNet1K, we demonstrate that the MIV-head achieves highly competitive accuracy when compared to state-of-the-art "adapter" (or "partial fine-tuning") methods applied to the same backbones, while incurring substantially lower adaptation cost. Moreover, compared to our approach, well-known "classification head" approaches achieve a substantially lower level of accuracy. We share our code at: https://github.com/xxweka/MIV-head.
