2 Fast Region-based ConvNets (R-CNNs) Fast Sorry about the black BG, Girshick s slides were all black. 2

3 The Pascal Visual Object Classes Challenge Overview Classification, Detection, Segmentation For each image: Does it contain the class? classification Where is it? detection via bounding box Evaluation Mean Average Precision (map) Participants submitted results in the form of confidence Produce Precision Recall curves Average precision for each class Take mean to get map 3

16 What s wrong with slow R-CNN? Ad hoc training objectives Fine-tune network with softmax classifier (log loss) Train post-hoc linear SVMs (hinge loss) Train post-hoc bounding-box regressors (L2 loss) Training is slow (84h), takes a lot of disk space 16
