Multi-label Image Recognition with Partial Labels

1 1 1

Implementation of papers:

Preliminary

  1. Donwload data.zip ([One Drive] [Baidu Drive]), and unzip it.
  2. Modify the lines 16-19 in config.py.
  3. Create servel folders (i.e., "exp/log", "exp/code", "exp/checkpoint", "exp/summary") to record experiment details.

Usage

cd HCP-MLR-PL

# modify experiment settings
# range of <#model>: SST, SARB, HST, DSRB
vim scripts/<#model>.sh

./<#model>.sh

Common Issues

1. How to generate the partial labels?

Since all the datasets have complete labels, we randomly drop a certain proportion of positive and negative labels to create partially annotated datasets. To control the remaining labels' proportion, we can modify the variable 'prob' in each file of the directory 'scripts'. Specifically, we provide the partial labels generating function in 'datasets/coco2014.py', 'datasets/vg.py', 'datasets/voc2007.py'.

As you can find, in each dataset class, we provide two elements of annotations: (1) 'labels': original ground truth annotations whose shape is $N * C$; (2) 'changeLabels': generated partial labels whose shape is $N * C$. For ease of reproducibility, we freeze the random seed of generating partial labels.

Notes: for convenience, we also provide partial labels of each dataset on all known label proportions. ([One Drive] [Baidu Drive])
