Multi-Task Learning with Multi-Annotation Triplet Loss for Improved Object Detection

April 10, 2025

Abstract: Triplet loss traditionally relies only on class labels and does not use all available information in multi-task scenarios where multiple types of annotations are available. This paper introduces a Multi-Annotation Triplet Loss (MATL) framework that extends triplet loss by incorporating additional annotations, such as bounding box information, alongside class labels in the loss formulation. […]

Congratulations to Xiaolei Guo for a Successful Dissertation Defense!

November 13, 2023

Congratulations to our labmate Xiaolei Guo for successfully defending her dissertation! Defending a dissertation is the last milestone to completing a Ph.D. at the University of Florida. Xiaolei presented a deep interactive segmentation framework to address the time-consuming task of fine-scale pixel-level image annotation. Utilizing transfer learning, annotators are able to interactively fine-tune a pre-trained […]
