Multi-Attribute Open Set Recognition

1 code implementation14 Aug 2022 Piyapat Saranrittichai, Chaithanya Kumar Mummadi, Claudia Blaiotta, Mauricio Munoz, Volker Fischer

While conventional OSR approaches can detect Out-of-Distribution (OOD) samples, they cannot provide explanations indicating which underlying visual attribute(s) (e. g., shape, color or background) cause a specific sample to be unknown.

Overcoming Shortcut Learning in a Target Domain by Generalizing Basic Visual Factors from a Source Domain

1 code implementation20 Jul 2022 Piyapat Saranrittichai, Chaithanya Kumar Mummadi, Claudia Blaiotta, Mauricio Munoz, Volker Fischer

Our approach extends the training set with an additional dataset (the source domain), which is specifically designed to facilitate learning independent representations of basic visual factors.

Contrasting quadratic assignments for set-based representation learning

1 code implementation31 May 2022 Artem Moskalev, Ivan Sosnovik, Volker Fischer, Arnold Smeulders

The views are ordered in pairs, such that they are either positive, encoding different views of the same object, or negative, corresponding to views of different objects.

Does enhanced shape bias improve neural network robustness to common corruptions?

no code implementations ICLR 2021 Chaithanya Kumar Mummadi, Ranjitha Subramaniam, Robin Hutmacher, Julien Vitay, Volker Fischer, Jan Hendrik Metzen

We conclude that the data augmentation caused by style-variation accounts for the improved corruption robustness and increased shape bias is only a byproduct.

SE(3)-Transformers: 3D Roto-Translation Equivariant Attention Networks

5 code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Fabian B. Fuchs, Daniel E. Worrall, Volker Fischer, Max Welling

We introduce the SE(3)-Transformer, a variant of the self-attention module for 3D point clouds and graphs, which is equivariant under continuous 3D roto-translations.

Statestream: A toolbox to explore layerwise-parallel deep neural networks

no code implementations ICLR 2018 Volker Fischer

Most artificial deep neural networks are partitioned into a directed graph of connected modules or layers and the layers themselves consist of elemental building blocks, such as single units.

Universal Adversarial Perturbations Against Semantic Image Segmentation

no code implementations ICCV 2017 Jan Hendrik Metzen, Mummadi Chaithanya Kumar, Thomas Brox, Volker Fischer

We show empirically that there exist barely perceptible universal noise patterns which result in nearly the same predicted segmentation for arbitrary inputs.
