However, frequently, there is a trade-off between speed and accuracy of such models, which encumbers their use in practical applications such as autonomous navigation. In this paper, we explore a meta-cognitive learning strategy for object detection to improve generalization ability while at the same time maintaining detection speed. The meta-cognitive method selectively samples the object instances in the training dataset to reduce overfitting. We use YOLO v3 Tiny as a base model for the work and evaluate the performance using the MS COCO dataset. The experimental results indicate an improvement in absolute precision of 2.6% (minimum), and 4.4% (maximum), with no overhead to inference time.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-12-02T13:36:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "meta-cognition-based simple", "effective approach", "deep learning-based object detection models", "ms coco dataset", "yolo v3 tiny" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
