Abstract
Recognising detailed facial or clothing attributes in images of people is a challenging task for computer vision, especially when the training data are both in very large scale and extremely imbalanced among different attribute classes. To address this problem, we formulate a novel scheme for batch incremental hard sample mining of minority attribute classes from imbalanced large scale training data. We develop an end-to-end deep learning framework capable of avoiding the dominant effect of majority classes by discovering sparsely sampled boundaries of minority classes. This is made possible by introducing a Class Rectification Loss (CRL) regularising algorithm. We demonstrate the advantages and scalability of CRL over existing state-of-the-art attribute recognition and imbalanced data learning models on two large scale imbalanced benchmark datasets, the CelebA facial attribute dataset and the X-Domain clothing attribute dataset.

Class-Balanced Loss Based on Effective Number of Samples

TL;DR: This work designs a re-weighting scheme that uses the effective number of samples for each class to re-balance the loss, thereby yielding a class-balanced loss and introduces a novel theoretical framework to measure data overlap by associating with each sample a small neighboring region rather than a single point.

Large-Scale Long-Tailed Recognition in an Open World

TL;DR: An integrated OLTR algorithm is developed that maps an image to a feature space such that visual concepts can easily relate to each other based on a learned metric that respects the closed-world classification while acknowledging the novelty of the open world.

Learning a Unified Classifier Incrementally via Rebalancing

TL;DR: This work develops a new framework for incrementally learning a unified classifier, e.g. a classifier that treats both old and new classes uniformly, and incorporates three components, cosine normalization, less-forget constraint, and inter-class separation, to mitigate the adverse effects of the imbalance.
