Labeling Errors Everywhere: Many deep learning datasets contain mislabeled data.

Key machine learning datasets are riddled with mistakes. Several benchmark datasets are shot through with incorrect labels. On average, 3.4 percent of examples in 10 commonly used datasets are mislabeled and the detrimental impact of such errors rises with model size.

Pretraining on Uncurated Data: How unlabeled data improved computer vision accuracy.

It’s well established that pretraining a model on a large dataset improves performance on fine-tuned tasks. In sufficient quantity and paired with a big model, even data scraped from the internet at random can contribute to the performance boost.

Vision Models Get Some Attention: Researchers add self-attention to convolutional neural nets.

Self-attention is a key element in state-of-the-art language models, but it struggles to process images because its memory requirement rises rapidly with the size of the input. New research addresses the issue with a simple twist on a convolutional neural network.

Good Labels for Cropped Images: AI technique adds text labels to random image crops.

In training an image recognition model, it’s not uncommon to augment the data by cropping original images randomly. But if an image contains several objects, a cropped version may no longer match its label. Researchers developed a way to make sure random crops are labeled properly.

ImageNet Performance, No Panacea: ImageNet pretraining won't always improve computer vision.

It’s commonly assumed that models pretrained to achieve high performance on ImageNet will perform better on other visual tasks after fine-tuning. But is it always true? A new study reached surprising conclusions.

Sharper Eyes For Vision+Language: AI research shows improved image and text matching.

Models that interpret the interplay of words and images tend to be trained on richer bodies of text than images. Recent research worked toward giving such models a more balanced knowledge of the two domains.

Facing Failure to Generalize: Why some AI models exhibit underspecification.

The same models trained on the same data may show the same performance in the lab, and yet respond very differently to data they haven’t seen before. New work finds this inconsistency to be pervasive.
