BACS: Background Aware Continual Semantic Segmentation

1 code implementation19 Apr 2024 Mostafa ElAraby, Ali Harakeh, Liam Paull

Besides the common problem of classical catastrophic forgetting in the continual learning setting, CSS suffers from the inherent ambiguity of the background, a phenomenon we refer to as the "background shift'', since pixels labeled as background could correspond to future classes (forward background shift) or previous classes (backward background shift).

Self-Supervised Image-to-Point Distillation via Semantically Tolerant Contrastive Loss

no code implementations CVPR 2023 Anas Mahmoud, Jordan S. K. Hu, Tianshu Kuai, Ali Harakeh, Liam Paull, Steven L. Waslander

However, image-to point representation learning for autonomous driving datasets faces two main challenges: 1) the abundance of self-similarity, which results in the contrastive losses pushing away semantically similar point and image regions and thus disturbing the local semantic structure of the learned representations, and 2) severe class imbalance as pretraining gets dominated by over-represented classes.

Estimating Regression Predictive Distributions with Sample Networks

no code implementations24 Nov 2022 Ali Harakeh, Jordan Hu, Naiqing Guan, Steven L. Waslander, Liam Paull

A common approach to model uncertainty is to choose a parametric distribution and fit the data to it using maximum likelihood estimation.

Bayesian Embeddings for Few-Shot Open World Recognition

no code implementations29 Jul 2021 John Willes, James Harrison, Ali Harakeh, Chelsea Finn, Marco Pavone, Steven Waslander

As autonomous decision-making agents move from narrow operating environments to unstructured worlds, learning systems must move from a closed-world formulation to an open-world and few-shot setting in which agents continuously learn new classes from small amounts of information.

Estimating and Evaluating Regression Predictive Uncertainty in Deep Object Detectors

3 code implementations13 Jan 2021 Ali Harakeh, Steven L. Waslander

We show that in the context of object detection, training variance networks with negative log likelihood (NLL) can lead to high entropy predictive distributions regardless of the correctness of the output mean.

BayesOD: A Bayesian Approach for Uncertainty Estimation in Deep Object Detectors

2 code implementations9 Mar 2019 Ali Harakeh, Michael Smart, Steven L. Waslander

When incorporating deep neural networks into robotic systems, a major challenge is the lack of uncertainty measures associated with their output predictions.

A Hierarchical Deep Architecture and Mini-Batch Selection Method For Joint Traffic Sign and Light Detection

2 code implementations20 Jun 2018 Alex D. Pon, Oles Andrienko, Ali Harakeh, Steven L. Waslander

The root cause of this issue is that no public dataset contains both traffic light and sign labels, which leads to difficulties in developing a joint detection framework.
