DreamTeacher: Pretraining Image Backbones with Deep Generative Models

no code implementations ICCV 2023 Daiqing Li, Huan Ling, Amlan Kar, David Acuna, Seung Wook Kim, Karsten Kreis, Antonio Torralba, Sanja Fidler

In this work, we introduce a self-supervised feature representation learning framework DreamTeacher that utilizes generative networks for pre-training downstream image backbones.

Causal Scene BERT: Improving object detection by searching for challenging groups of data

no code implementations8 Feb 2022 Cinjon Resnick, Or Litany, Amlan Kar, Karsten Kreis, James Lucas, Kyunghyun Cho, Sanja Fidler

Our main contribution is a pseudo-automatic method to discover such groups in foresight by performing causal interventions on simulated scenes.

ATISS: Autoregressive Transformers for Indoor Scene Synthesis

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2021 Despoina Paschalidou, Amlan Kar, Maria Shugrina, Karsten Kreis, Andreas Geiger, Sanja Fidler

The ability to synthesize realistic and diverse indoor furniture layouts automatically or based on partial input, unlocks many applications, from better interactive 3D tools to data synthesis for training and simulation.

Causal Scene BERT: Improving object detection by searching for challenging groups

no code implementations29 Sep 2021 Cinjon Resnick, Or Litany, Amlan Kar, Karsten Kreis, James Lucas, Kyunghyun Cho, Sanja Fidler

We verify that the prioritized groups found via intervention are challenging for the object detector and show that retraining with data collected from these groups helps inordinately compared to adding more IID data.

Fed-Sim: Federated Simulation for Medical Imaging

no code implementations1 Sep 2020 Daiqing Li, Amlan Kar, Nishant Ravikumar, Alejandro F. Frangi, Sanja Fidler

Since the model of geometry and material is disentangled from the imaging sensor, it can effectively be trained across multiple medical centers.

Interactive Annotation of 3D Object Geometry using 2D Scribbles

no code implementations ECCV 2020 Tianchang Shen, Jun Gao, Amlan Kar, Sanja Fidler

We implement our framework as a web service and conduct a user study, where we show that user annotated data using our method effectively facilitates real-world learning tasks.

Meta-Sim2: Unsupervised Learning of Scene Structure for Synthetic Data Generation

no code implementations ECCV 2020 Jeevan Devaranjan, Amlan Kar, Sanja Fidler

In Meta-Sim2, we aim to learn the scene structure in addition to parameters, which is a challenging problem due to its discrete nature.

Learning to Evaluate Perception Models Using Planner-Centric Metrics

no code implementations CVPR 2020 Jonah Philion, Amlan Kar, Sanja Fidler

The downside of these metrics is that, at worst, they penalize all incorrect detections equally without conditioning on the task or scene, and at best, heuristics need to be chosen to ensure that different mistakes count differently.

Neural Turtle Graphics for Modeling City Road Layouts

no code implementations ICCV 2019 Hang Chu, Daiqing Li, David Acuna, Amlan Kar, Maria Shugrina, Xinkai Wei, Ming-Yu Liu, Antonio Torralba, Sanja Fidler

We propose Neural Turtle Graphics (NTG), a novel generative model for spatial graphs, and demonstrate its applications in modeling city road layouts.

Meta-Sim: Learning to Generate Synthetic Datasets

no code implementations ICCV 2019 Amlan Kar, Aayush Prakash, Ming-Yu Liu, Eric Cameracci, Justin Yuan, Matt Rusiniak, David Acuna, Antonio Torralba, Sanja Fidler

Training models to high-end performance requires availability of large labeled datasets, which are expensive to get.

Devil is in the Edges: Learning Semantic Boundaries from Noisy Annotations

1 code implementation CVPR 2019 David Acuna, Amlan Kar, Sanja Fidler

We further reason about true object boundaries during training using a level set formulation, which allows the network to learn from misaligned labels in an end-to-end fashion.

Fast Interactive Object Annotation with Curve-GCN

2 code implementations CVPR 2019 Huan Ling, Jun Gao, Amlan Kar, Wenzheng Chen, Sanja Fidler

Our model runs at 29. 3ms in automatic, and 2. 6ms in interactive mode, making it 10x and 100x faster than Polygon-RNN++.

Learning to Caption Images through a Lifetime by Asking Questions

1 code implementation1 Dec 2018 Kevin Shen, Amlan Kar, Sanja Fidler

In order to bring artificial agents into our lives, we will need to go beyond supervised learning on closed datasets to having the ability to continuously expand knowledge.

Color Sails: Discrete-Continuous Palettes for Deep Color Exploration

no code implementations7 Jun 2018 Maria Shugrina, Amlan Kar, Karan Singh, Sanja Fidler

Then, the user can adjust color sail parameters to change the base colors, their blending behavior and the number of colors, exploring a wide range of options for the original design.
