Application: Training method (Patent ID: US20230274533A1)
The patent filed by Panasonic Holdings Corp. describes a training method for a neural network model that includes two network branches: one for representation learning and the other for computer vision tasks. The method involves obtaining image data and labels, performing data augmentation, extracting feature representations, and training the encoder network model and the first model using a first loss function. The method also includes inferring labels using the second model and training the encoder network model and the second model using a second loss function. The training of both models is performed simultaneously.
The training method includes several steps. First, N image data items and their corresponding labels are obtained from a dataset. Data augmentation is then performed to obtain M image data items and labels. The encoder network model extracts feature representations from the M image data items, and the first model projects these representations onto embedding vectors for supervised contrastive learning. Label processing is performed to convert the labels of the M image data items into labels applicable to the computer vision tasks. The encoder network model and the first model are trained using a first loss function, the labels of the M image data items, and the embedding vectors.
Next, the M image data items resulting from data augmentation are obtained, and feature representations are extracted from them using the encoder network model. The second model infers labels for the M image data items based on these feature representations. The encoder network model and the second model are then trained using a second loss function, the inferred labels, and the labels of the M image data items. The training of both models is performed simultaneously.
The patent also includes additional claims. Claim 2 describes the label processing step, which involves converting the labels into applicable representations with values of 0 or 1 for each dimension. Claim 3 specifies that when the M image data items include two different items obtained from the same image data item, supervised contrastive loss is calculated using the first loss function. Claim 4 states that if the applicable representations have a value of 1 for two or more dimensions, these values are further converted to 0. Claim 5 mentions that a loss based on vector similarity is calculated during the training of the encoder network model and the first model. Claim 6 introduces a third model in the first network branch, which predicts a second embedding vector from a first embedding vector. Claim 7 states that a loss based on cosine similarity is calculated during the training of the encoder network model, the first model, and the third model.
