Global–Local Query-Support Cross-Attention for Few-Shot Semantic Segmentation by Fengxi Xie, Guozhen Liang, Ying-Ren Chien

“…Implemented with multi-head attention in a transformer architecture, GLQSCA treats every query pixel as a token, aggregates the segmentation label from the support mask values (weighted by the similarities with all foreground prototypes (global information)), and supports pixels (local information). Experiments show that our GLQSCA significantly surpasses state-of-the-art methods on the standard FSS benchmarks PASCAL-5ⁱ and COCO-20ⁱ.…”

Cluster Complementarity and Consistency Mining for Multi-View Representation Learning by Yanyan Wen, Haifeng Li

“…However, two significant challenges persist in MVC methods: (1) They resort to learning view-invariant information of samples to bridge the heterogeneity gap between views, which may result in the loss of view-specific information that contributes to pattern mining. (2) They utilize fusion strategies that are susceptible to the discriminability of views, i.e., the concatenation and the weighing fusion of cross-view representations, to aggregate complementary and consistent information, which is difficult to guarantee semantic robustness of fusion representations. …”
