Abstract¶
This work explores the use of spatial context as a source of free and plentiful supervisory signal for training a rich visual representation. Given only a large, unlabeled image collection, we extract random pairs of patches from each image and train a convolutional neural net to predict the position of the second patch relative to the first. We argue that doing well on this task requires the model to learn to recognize objects and their parts. We demonstrate that the feature representation learned using this within-image context indeed captures visual similarity across images. For example, this representation allows us to perform unsupervised visual discovery of objects like cats, people, and even birds from the Pascal VOC 2011 detection dataset. Furthermore, we show that the learned ConvNet can be used in the RCNN framework and provides a significant boost over a randomly-initialized ConvNet, resulting in state-of-the-art performance among algorithms which use only Pascal-provided training set annotations.
Results and Models¶
Back to model_zoo.md to download models.
In this page, we provide benchmarks as much as possible to evaluate our pre-trained models. If not mentioned, all models are pre-trained on ImageNet-1k dataset.
Classification¶
The classification benchmarks includes 4 downstream task datasets, VOC, ImageNet, iNaturalist2018 and Places205. If not specified, the results are Top-1 (%).
VOC SVM / Low-shot SVM¶
The Best Layer indicates that the best results are obtained from which layers feature map. For example, if the Best Layer is feature3, its best result is obtained from the second stage of ResNet (1 for stem layer, 2-5 for 4 stage layers).
Besides, k=1 to 96 indicates the hyper-parameter of Low-shot SVM.
| Self-Supervised Config | Best Layer | SVM | k=1 | k=2 | k=4 | k=8 | k=16 | k=32 | k=64 | k=96 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| resnet50_8xb64-steplr-70e | feature4 | 65.52 | 20.36 | 23.12 | 30.66 | 37.02 | 42.55 | 50.00 | 55.58 | 59.28 |
ImageNet Linear Evaluation¶
The Feature1 - Feature5 don’t have the GlobalAveragePooling, the feature map is pooled to the specific dimensions and then follows a Linear layer to do the classification. Please refer to resnet50_mhead_linear-8xb32-steplr-90e_in1k for details of config.
The AvgPool result is obtained from Linear Evaluation with GlobalAveragePooling. Please refer to resnet50_linear-8xb32-steplr-100e_in1k for details of config.
| Self-Supervised Config | Feature1 | Feature2 | Feature3 | Feature4 | Feature5 | AvgPool |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| resnet50_8xb64-steplr-70e | 15.11 | 30.47 | 42.83 | 51.20 | 40.96 | 39.65 |
Places205 Linear Evaluation¶
The Feature1 - Feature5 don’t have the GlobalAveragePooling, the feature map is pooled to the specific dimensions and then follows a Linear layer to do the classification. Please refer to resnet50_mhead_8xb32-steplr-28e_places205.py for details of config.
| Self-Supervised Config | Feature1 | Feature2 | Feature3 | Feature4 | Feature5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| resnet50_8xb64-steplr-70e | 20.69 | 34.72 | 43.01 | 45.97 | 41.96 |
ImageNet Nearest-Neighbor Classification¶
The results are obtained from the features after GlobalAveragePooling. Here, k=10 to 200 indicates different number of nearest neighbors.
| Self-Supervised Config | k=10 | k=20 | k=100 | k=200 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| resnet50_8xb64-steplr-70e | 14.5 | 15.0 | 15.0 | 14.2 |
