Gumbel Optimised Loss for Long-tailed Instance Segmentation

This is the official implementation of Gumbel Optimised Loss for Long-tailed Instance Segmentation for ECCV2022 accepted paper.

Introduction

Major advancements have been made in the field of object detection and segmentation recently. However, when it comes to rare categories, the state-of-the-art methods fail to detect them, resulting in a significant performance gap between rare and frequent categories. In this paper, we identify that Sigmoid or Softmax functions used in deep detectors are a major reason for low performance and are suboptimal for long-tailed detection and segmentation. To address this, we develop a Gumbel Optimized Loss (GOL), for long-tailed detection and segmentation. It aligns with the Gumbel distribution of rare classes in imbalanced datasets, considering the fact that most classes in long-tailed detection have low expected probability. The proposed GOL significantly outperforms the best state-of-the-art method by 1.1% on AP, and boosts the overall segmentation by 9.0% and detection by 8.0%, particularly improving detection of rare classes by 20.3%, compared to Mask-RCNN, on LVIS dataset.

Gumbel Cross Entropy (simplified)

                         label,reduction):
    """Calculate the Gumbel CrossEntropy loss.
    Args:
        pred (torch.Tensor): The prediction.
        label (torch.Tensor): one-hot encoded
    Returns:
        torch.Tensor: The calculated loss.
    """
    pred=torch.clamp(pred,min=-4,max=10)
    pestim= 1/(torch.exp(torch.exp(-(pred))))
    loss = F.binary_cross_entropy(
        pestim, label.float(), reduction=reduction)
    loss=torch.clamp(loss,min=0,max=20)

    return loss

Tested with

Tested on CUDA 10.2 and RHEL 8 system

Getting Started

Create a virtual environment

conda create --name mmdet pytorch=1.7.1 -y
conda activate mmdet

Install dependency packages

conda install torchvision -y
conda install pandas scipy -y
conda install opencv -y

Install MMDetection

pip install openmim
mim install mmdet==2.21.0

Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/kostas1515/GOL.git
cd GOL

Create data directory, download COCO 2017 datasets at https://cocodataset.org/#download (2017 Train images [118K/18GB], 2017 Val images [5K/1GB], 2017 Train/Val annotations [241MB]) and extract the zip files:

mkdir data
cd data
wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/train2017.zip
wget http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/val2017.zip

#download and unzip LVIS annotations
wget https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/LVIS/lvis_v1_train.json.zip
wget https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/LVIS/lvis_v1_val.json.zip

modify mmdetection/configs/base/datasets/lvis_v1_instance.py and make sure data_root variable points to the above data directory, e.g., data_root = '<user_path>'

Training

To Train on multiple GPUs use tools/dist_train.sh to launch training on multiple GPUs:

./tools/dist_train.sh ./configs/<experiment>/<variant.py> <#GPUs>

E.g: To train GOL on 4 GPUs use:

./tools/dist_train.sh ./configs/gol/droploss_normed_mask_r50_rfs_4x4_2x_gumbel.py 4

Testing

To test GOL:

./tools/dist_test.sh ./experiments/droploss_normed_mask_rcnn_r50_rfs_4x4_2x_gumbel/droploss_normed_mask_r50_rfs_4x4_2x_gumbel.py ./experiments/droploss_normed_mask_r50_rfs_4x4_2x_gumbel/latest.pth 4 --eval bbox segm

Reproduce

To reproduce the results on the the paper with Sigmoid, Softmax and Gumbel activation run:

./tools/dist_train.sh ./configs/activations/r50_4x4_1x.py <#GPUs>
./tools/dist_train.sh ./configs/activations/r50_4x4_1x_softmax.py <#GPUs>
./tools/dist_train.sh ./configs/activations/gumbel/gumbel_r50_4x4_1x.py <#GPUs>

It will give a Table similar to this:

Method	AP	AP^r	AP^c	AP^f	AP^b
Sigmoid	16.4	0.8	12.7	27.3	17.2
Softmax	15.2	0.0	10.6	26.9	16.1
Gumbel	19.0	4.9	16.8	27.6	19.1
