无需个体标签,通过比例学习实现隐私保护的细粒度图像分类
Towards Privacy-Preserving Fine-Grained Visual Classification via Hierarchical Learning from Label Proportions
- 利用层级标签比例学习,逐步提升特征粒度
- 在三个数据集上超越现有比例学习方法,准确率显著提升
- 适合医疗等隐私敏感场景,支持无标签数据训练
近年来,细粒度视觉分类(FGVC)在微小类间差异下取得了优异识别精度,但现有方法严重依赖实例级标签,难以应用于医疗图像分析等隐私敏感场景。本文旨在实现无需直接访问实例标签的高精度细粒度识别。为此,我们采用仅需袋级标签的标签比例学习(LLP)范式进行高效训练。不同于现有方法,本框架显式利用细粒度数据集的层级结构,实现特征粒度的渐进式优化,提升分类性能。提出学习层级细粒度标签比例(LHFGLP)框架,结合可学习的层级稀疏字典学习,将手工迭代近似转化为网络优化。此外,提出的层级比例损失提供分层监督,进一步提升性能。在三个广泛使用的细粒度数据集(以袋为单位构建)上的实验表明,本框架始终优于现有基于LLP的方法。代码与数据集将公开,以推动隐私保护细粒度分类研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In recent years, Fine-Grained Visual Classification (FGVC) has achieved impressive recognition accuracy, despite minimal inter-class variations. However, existing methods heavily rely on instance-level labels, making them impractical in privacy-sensitive scenarios such as medical image analysis. This paper aims to enable accurate fine-grained recognition without direct access to instance labels. To achieve this, we leverage the Learning from Label Proportions (LLP) paradigm, which requires only bag-level labels for efficient training. Unlike existing LLP-based methods, our framework explicitly exploits the hierarchical nature of fine-grained datasets, enabling progressive feature granularity refinement and improving classification accuracy. We propose Learning from Hierarchical Fine-Grained Label Proportions (LHFGLP), a framework that incorporates Unrolled Hierarchical Fine-Grained Sparse Dictionary Learning, transforming handcrafted iterative approximation into learnable network optimization. Additionally, our proposed Hierarchical Proportion Loss provides hierarchical supervision, further enhancing classification performance. Experiments on three widely-used fine-grained datasets, structured in a bag-based manner, demonstrate that our framework consistently outperforms existing LLP-based methods. We will release our code and datasets to foster further research in privacy-preserving fine-grained classification.
