Optimizing Rank-Based Metrics With Blackbox Differentiation

CVPR 2020oral

Rank-based metrics are some of the most widely used criteria for performance evaluation of computer vision models. Despite years of effort, direct optimization for these metrics remains a challenge due to their non-differentiable and non-decomposable nature. We present an efficient, theoretically so…

ImageNet-trained CNNs are biased towards texture; increasing shape bias improves accuracy and robustness

ICLR 2019oral

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are commonly thought to recognise objects by learning increasingly complex representations of object shapes. Some recent studies suggest a more important role of image textures. We here put these conflicting hypotheses to a quantitative test by evaluating CNNs an…
