arXiv:2404.10034v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Weakly Supervised Object Localization (WSOL) allows training deep learning models for classification and localization (LOC) using only global class-level labels. The absence of bounding box (bbox) supervision during training raises challenges in the literature for hyper-parameter tuning, model selection, and evaluation. WSOL methods rely on a validation set with bbox annotations for model selection, and a test set with bbox annotations for threshold estimation for producing bboxes from localization maps. This approach, however, is not a
The continuous growth in AI research, particularly in computer vision, necessitates more robust and realistic evaluation protocols for increasingly complex models like those in weakly supervised learning.
Improved evaluation protocols for Weakly Supervised Object Localization (WSOL) will lead to more reliable and deployable AI models, accelerating their integration into real-world applications where fully supervised data is scarce.
This research seeks to refine how AI models for object localization are developed and benchmarked, potentially leading to more efficient model selection and performance validation in practical scenarios.
