通过融合不确定性和多样性,提升细粒度图像分类的主动学习效果。

Combining Discrepancy-Confusion Uncertainty and Calibration Diversity for Active Fine-Grained Image Classification

  • 结合差异-混淆不确定性与校准多样性,评估样本价值。
  • 在7个数据集上显著优于现有方法,39种设置下表现更优。
  • 适合需要高效标注的细粒度图像识别任务。

主动学习(AL)旨在有限标注预算下,从无标签数据池中迭代选择最具信息量的样本构建高质量标注数据集。然而,在细粒度图像分类中,由于类别间差异细微,可靠评估样本信息量尤为困难。本文提出一种新方法——结合差异-混淆不确定性与校准多样性的主动学习框架(DECERN),以有效感知细粒度图像的区分性并评估样本价值。DECERN引入多维度信息量度量,融合差异-混淆不确定性与校准多样性。其中,差异-混淆不确定性衡量局部特征融合过程中样本的结构稳定性与类别方向性;随后进行加权聚类以多样化不确定性样本;再通过校准多样性最大化全局多样性,同时保持局部代表性。在7个细粒度图像数据集、39种不同实验设置下的大量实验表明,该方法性能显著优于当前最优方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Active learning (AL) aims to build high-quality labeled datasets by iteratively selecting the most informative samples from an unlabeled pool under limited annotation budgets. However, in fine-grained image classification, assessing this informativeness reliably is especially challenging due to subtle differences between classes. In this paper, we introduce a novel active learning method, combining discrepancy-confusion uncertainty and calibration diversity for active fine-grained image classification (DECERN), to effectively perceive the distinctiveness between fine-grained images and evaluate the sample value. DECERN introduces a multifaceted informativeness measure that combines discrepancy-confusion uncertainty and calibration diversity. The discrepancy-confusion uncertainty quantifies the structural stability and category directionality of fine-grained unlabeled data during local feature fusion. Subsequently, uncertainty-weighted clustering is performed to diversify the uncertainty samples. Then we calibrate the diversity to maximize the global diversity of the selected sample while maintaining its local representativeness. Extensive experiments conducted on 7 fine-grained image datasets across 39 distinct experimental settings demonstrate that our method achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.
