NAVER AI Lab developed 'ReLabel,' a machine-driven approach to generate pixel-wise, multi-label annotations for ImageNet's training set, and 'LabelPooling,' a novel training scheme to leverage these localized labels. This methodology improves ImageNet classification accuracy by up to 1.4 percentage points on ResNet-50 and enhances model robustness and transfer learning capabilities.

Key insights

  • ImageNet's single-label and global-label assumptions, particularly when combined with random cropping, introduce substantial noise that hinders model training.
  • Automated, machine-driven re-labeling can efficiently provide cleaner, localized multi-label supervision at scale, overcoming the prohibitive cost of human annotation.
  • Utilizing both multi-label and localized information is crucial for improving classification accuracy, robustness, and transferability of deep learning models.
