Classification based on annotation information

Abstract

Systems and techniques for classification based on annotation information are presented. In one example, a system trains a convolutional neural network based on training data and a plurality of images. The plurality of images is associated with a plurality of masks, a plurality of image level labels, and/or a bounding box. The system also generates a first loss function based on the plurality of masks, a second loss function based on the plurality of image level labels, and a third loss function based on the bounding box. Furthermore, the system generates a fourth loss function based on the first loss function, the second loss function and the third loss function, where the fourth loss function is iteratively back propagated to tune parameters of the convolutional neural network. The system also predicts a classification label for an input image based on the convolutional neural network.
