Large scale object detection datasets are constantly increasing their size in terms of the number of classes and annotations count. Yet, the number of object-level categories annotated in detection datasets is an order of magnitude smaller than image-level classification labels. State-of-the art object detection models are trained in a supervised fashion and this limits the number of object classes they can detect. In this paper, we propose a novel weight transfer network (WTN) to effectively…

This work proposes a new large-scale pre-training strategy for detection, where noisy class labels are available for all images, but not bounding-boxes, and designs a task that forces bounding boxes with high-overlap to have similar representations in different views of an image, compared to non-overlapping boxes.
