Object detection methods for Common Objects in Context

Abstract:

In this talk, we discuss this year's COCO object detection challenge, Facebook's entry into the challenge that placed 2nd in the competition using deep convnets and specially designed cost functions. We shall also discuss the DeepMask segmentation system that forms the core of our detection pipeline. http://mscoco.org/dataset/#detections-leaderboard
