Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll utilize FiftyOne to execute the complete rare-class mining loop on a large unlabeled image pool! ๐ธ
What You'll Learn:
- Compress the image pool using near-duplicate detection.
- Embed images with a modern vision backbone.
- Mine candidate positives through seeded similarity from a small labeled set.
- Confirm findings via targeted human review.
- Prioritize survivors for annotation using representativeness and uniqueness scores.
Key Takeaways:
- A functional FiftyOne pipeline for identifying rare classes in any visual dataset.
- A repeatable four-stage funnel: compress, mine, confirm, prioritize.
- A fine-tuned detector that outperforms one trained on randomly sampled images.
- Understanding that data curation is the most impactful way to enhance a rare-class detector.
