Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for object detection. In one aspect, a method comprises: obtaining: (i) an image, and (ii) a set of one or more query embeddings, wherein each query embedding represents a respective category of object; processing the image and the set of query embeddings using an object detection neural network to generate object detection data for the image, comprising: processing the image using an image encoding subnetwork of the object detection neural network to generate a set of object embeddings; processing each object embedding using a localization subnetwork to generate localization data defining a corresponding region of the image; and processing: (i) the set of object embeddings, and (ii) the set of query embeddings, using a classification subnetwork to generate, for each object embedding, a respective classification score distribution over the set of query embeddings.
