**Pose Estimation** is a computer vision task where the goal is to detect the position and orientation of a person or an object. Usually, this is done by predicting the location of specific keypoints like hands, head, elbows, etc. in case of Human Pose Estimation. A common…

A toolkit for teams building human-centered AI products.
Bayesian Inference is a methodology that employs Bayes Rule to estimate parameters (and their full posterior).
**Transfer Learning** is a machine learning technique where a model trained on one task is re-purposed and fine-tuned for a related, but different task. The idea behind transfer learning is to leverage the knowledge learned from a pre-trained model to solve a new, but related…
**Representation Learning** is a process in machine learning where algorithms extract meaningful patterns from raw data to create representations that are easier to understand and process. These representations can be designed for interpretability, reveal hidden features, or be…
**Sentiment Analysis** is the task of classifying the polarity of a given text. For instance, a text-based tweet can be categorized into either "positive", "negative", or "neutral". Given the text and accompanying labels, a model can be trained to predict the correct sentiment…
**Object tracking** is the task of taking an initial set of object detections, creating a unique ID for each of the initial detections, and then tracking each of the objects as they move around frames in a video, maintaining the ID assignment. State-of-the-art methods involve…
**Image Retrieval** is a fundamental and long-standing computer vision task that involves finding images similar to a provided query from a large database. It's often considered as a form of fine-grained, instance-level classification. Not just integral to image recognition…
**Zero-shot learning (ZSL)** is a model's ability to detect classes never seen during training. The condition is that the classes are not known during supervised learning. Earlier work in zero-shot learning use attributes in a two-step approach to infer unknown classes. In the…
**Anomaly Detection** is a binary classification identifying unusual or unexpected patterns in a dataset, which deviate significantly from the majority of the data. The goal of anomaly detection is to identify such anomalies, which could represent errors, fraud, or other types…
**Few-Shot Learning** is an example of meta-learning, where a learner is trained on several related tasks, during the meta-training phase, so that it can generalize well to unseen (but related) tasks with just few examples, during the meta-testing phase. An effective approach to…
**Depth Estimation** is the task of measuring the distance of each pixel relative to the camera. Depth is extracted from either monocular (single) or stereo (multiple views of a scene) images. Traditional methods use multi-view geometry to find the relationship between the…
**Facial Recognition** is the task of making a positive identification of a face in a photo or video image against a pre-existing database of faces. It begins with detection - distinguishing human faces from other objects in the image - and then works on identification of those…
**Action Recognition** is a computer vision task that involves recognizing human actions in videos or images. The goal is to classify and categorize the actions being performed in the video or image into a predefined set of action classes. In the video domain, it is an open…
**Denoising** is a task in image processing and computer vision that aims to remove or reduce noise from an image. Noise can be introduced into an image due to various reasons, such as camera sensor limitations, lighting conditions, and compression artifacts. The goal of…

**Super-Resolution** is a task in computer vision that involves increasing the resolution of an image or video by generating missing high-frequency details from low-resolution input. The goal is to produce an output image with a higher resolution than the input image, while…
Autonomous driving is the task of driving a vehicle without human conduction. Many of the state-of-the-art results can be found at more general task pages such as [3D Object Detection](https://paperswithcode.com/task/3d-object-detection) and [Semantic…
Data augmentation involves techniques used for increasing the amount of data, based on different modifications, to expand the amount of examples in the original dataset. Data augmentation not only helps to grow the dataset but it also increases the diversity of the dataset. When…
**Domain Adaptation** is the task of adapting models across domains. This is motivated by the challenge where the test and training datasets fall from different data distributions due to some factor. Domain adaptation aims to build machine learning models that can be generalized…
**Image Generation** (synthesis) is the task of generating new images from an existing dataset. - **Unconditional generation** refers to generating samples unconditionally from the dataset, i.e. $p(y)$ - **[Conditional image generation](/task/conditional-image-generation)**…
**Object Detection** is a computer vision task in which the goal is to detect and locate objects of interest in an image or video. The task involves identifying the position and boundaries of objects in an image, and classifying the objects into different categories. It forms a…
**Image Classification** is a fundamental task in vision recognition that aims to understand and categorize an image as a whole under a specific label. Unlike [object detection](/task/object-detection), which involves classification and location of multiple objects within an…
**Semantic Segmentation** is a computer vision task in which the goal is to categorize each pixel in an image into a class or object. The goal is to produce a dense pixel-wise segmentation map of an image, where each pixel is assigned to a specific class or object. Some example…
