摘要
En 中文
In this paper, we tackle the long-tailed visual recognition problem from the categorical prototype perspective by proposing a prototype-based classifier learning (PCL) method. Specifically, thanks to the generalization ability and robustness, categorical prototypes reveal their advantages of representing the category semantics. Coupled with their class-balance characteristic, categorical prototypes also show potential for handling data imbalance. In our PCL, we propose to generate the categorical classifiers based on the prototypes by performing a learnable mapping function. To further alleviate the impact of imbalance on classifier generation, two kinds of classifier calibration approaches are designed from both prototype-level and example-level aspects. Extensive experiments on five benchmark datasets, including the large-scale iNaturalist, Places-LT, and ImageNet-LT, justify that the proposed PCL can outperform state-of-the-arts. Furthermore, validation experiments can demonstrate the effectiveness of tailored designs in PCL for long-tailed problems.
