CVPR Daily - Tuesday

“ We use this at the image level to extract a localization for the new classes, which helps us to train a segmentation model. ” Dario adds: “ We’ve achieved results comparable with a fully supervised semantic segmentation model , even with our low annotation costs. This model has the potential to be applied to many real-world applications, and I think that it’s a very valuable contribution. ” Fabio and Dario are missing their co-author Antonio Tavera , who cannot be here to present today. Fabio recalls a special eureka moment they all had together, and without which we may not be speaking: “ We had been in the lab all day, and it was a Friday night before the conference deadline, and we were in a restaurant with Antonio, still talking about our model. That’s when we had the idea of the final model that got us these last performances. I remember telling Dario we can try that tomorrow, and it was a very last-minute tweak! ” The novelty of this work and its application in the real world are just two things that likely helped it to be chosen from so many other papers to be presented at CVPR this year. 14 DAILY CVPR Tuesday Poster Presentation
