When a deep learning model is deployed in the wild, it can encounter test data drawn from distributions different from the training data distribution and suffer drop in performance. For safe deployment, it is essential to estimate the…

Training a deep neural network heavily relies on a large amount of training data with accurate annotations. To alleviate this problem, various methods have been proposed to annotate the data automatically. However, automatically generating…

Crowd counting problem aims to count the number of objects within an image or a frame in the videos and is usually solved by estimating the density map generated from the object location annotations. The values in the density map, by…

In learning with noisy labels, the sample selection approach is very popular, which regards small-loss data as correctly labeled during training. However, losses are generated on-the-fly based on the model being trained with noisy labels,…

State-of-the-art methods for counting people in crowded scenes rely on deep networks to estimate crowd density. They typically use the same filters over the whole image or over large image patches. Only then do they estimate local scale to…

When annotators disagree, predicting the labels given by individual annotators can capture nuances overlooked by traditional label aggregation. We introduce three approaches to predicting individual annotator ratings on the toxicity of text…

Modern crowd counting methods usually employ deep neural networks (DNN) to estimate crowd counts via density regression. Despite their significant improvements, the regression-based methods are incapable of providing the detection of…

Large datasets in NLP suffer from noisy labels, due to erroneous automatic and human annotation procedures. We study the problem of text classification with label noise, and aim to capture this noise through an auxiliary noise model over…

Fine-grained annotations---e.g. dense image labels, image segmentation and text tagging---are useful in many ML applications but they are labor-intensive to generate. Moreover there are often systematic, structured errors in these…

Learning from crowds describes that the annotations of training data are obtained with crowd-sourcing services. Multiple annotators each complete their own small part of the annotations, where labeling mistakes that depend on annotators…

This paper proposes a novel approach for crowd counting in low to high density scenarios in static images. Current approaches cannot handle huge crowd diversity well and thus perform poorly in extreme cases, where the crowd density in…

Safe artificial intelligence for perception tasks remains a major challenge, partly due to the lack of data with high-quality labels. Annotations themselves are subject to aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty, which is typically ignored…
