Adaptive Contextual Perception: How To Generalize To New Backgrounds and Ambiguous Objects

NeurIPS 2023poster

Biological vision systems make adaptive use of context to recognize objects in new settings with novel contexts as well as occluded or blurry objects in familiar settings. In this paper, we investigate how vision models adaptively use context for out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization and leverage…

VisFIS: Visual Feature Importance Supervision with Right-for-the-Right-Reason Objectives

NeurIPS 2022accept

Many past works aim to improve visual reasoning in models by supervising feature importance (estimated by model explanation techniques) with human annotations such as highlights of important image regions. However, recent work has shown that performance gains from feature importance (FI) supervision…
