will present two efforts to scale visual recognition systems far beyond the regime that is typically studied today. First, we'll look at a new empirical study in which we trained large ConvNets (up to 20x more mult-add ops than ResNet-101) on datasets that are 1000x larger than ImageNet, but which are only labeled with social media hashtags. In spite of the noisy labels, the trained models show excellent transfer learning results. The results also raise questions about how far we can reach with the current trend of larger models and more data, suggesting that more fundamental breakthroughs are still required.<br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">In the second part of my talk, we'll look at expanding the slice of the visual world that object detectors can see. I'll present recent work on a method for training Mask R-CNN to produce instance segmentations for thousands of object categories even when mask annotations are only available for the 80 COCO dataset categories. I'll conclude by discussing a nascent effort to build a large-scale instance segmentation dataset that will enable rigorous benchmarking of detectors that can recognize thousands of object categories.</div><div

will present two efforts to scale visual recognition systems far beyond the regime that is typically studied today. First, we'll look at a new empirical study in which we trained large ConvNets (up to 20x more mult-add ops than ResNet-101) on datasets that are 1000x larger than ImageNet, but which are only labeled with social media hashtags. In spite of the noisy labels, the trained models show excellent transfer learning results. The results also raise questions about how far we can reach with the current trend of larger models and more data, suggesting that more fundamental breakthroughs are still required.<br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">In the second part of my talk, we'll look at expanding the slice of the visual world that object detectors can see. I'll present recent work on a method for training Mask R-CNN to produce instance segmentations for thousands of object categories even when mask annotations are only available for the 80 COCO dataset categories. I'll conclude by discussing a nascent effort to build a large-scale instance segmentation dataset that will enable rigorous benchmarking of detectors that can recognize thousands of object categories.</div><div

First, we'll look at a new empirical study in which we trained large ConvNets (up to 20x more mult-add ops than ResNet-101) on datasets that are 1000x larger than ImageNet, but which are only labeled with social media hashtags. In spite of the noisy labels, the trained models show excellent transfer learning results. The results also raise questions about how far we can reach with the current trend of larger models and more data, suggesting that more fundamental breakthroughs are still required.<br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">In the second part of my talk, we'll look at expanding the slice of the visual world that object detectors can see. I'll present recent work on a method for training Mask R-CNN to produce instance segmentations for thousands of object categories even when mask annotations are only available for the 80 COCO dataset categories. I'll conclude by discussing a nascent effort to build a large-scale instance segmentation dataset that will enable rigorous benchmarking of detectors that can recognize thousands of object categories.</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><br></div><br class="m_2224925151789194326m_-1690647303496242289m_1430452980776983890gmail-Apple-interchange-newline">
