In the last few years, deep learning has led to very good performance on a variety of
problems, such as visual recognition, speech recognition and natural language processing …

Taking time to identify expected products and waiting for the checkout in a retail store are
common scenes we all encounter in our daily lives. The realization of automatic product …

Fine-grained image analysis (FGIA) is a longstanding and fundamental problem in computer
vision and pattern recognition, and underpins a diverse set of real-world applications. The …

Datasets that power machine learning are often used, shared, and reused with little visibility
into the processes of deliberation that led to their creation. As artificial intelligence systems …

Recently, significant progress has been made in masked image modeling to catch up to
masked language modeling. However, unlike words in NLP, the lack of semantic …

When we are faced with challenging image classification tasks, we often explain our
reasoning by dissecting the image, and pointing out prototypical aspects of one class or …

We present a deformable prototypical part network (Deformable ProtoPNet), an interpretable
image classifier that integrates the power of deep learning and the interpretability of case …

Delicate feature representation about object parts plays a critical role in fine-grained
recognition. For example, experts can even distinguish fine-grained objects relying only on …

Fine-grained classification is a challenging problem, due to subtle differences among highly-
confused categories. Most approaches address this difficulty by learning discriminative …

Fine-grained classification is challenging due to the difficulty of finding discriminative
features. Finding those subtle traits that fully characterize the object is not straightforward. To …
