Weakly Supervised Convolutional Neural Network

A weakly supervised CNN is a convolutional neural network trained with incomplete, coarse, or noisy annotations instead of full pixel-level or bounding-box labels. Typical weak labels include image-level class tags, partial annotations, or crowd-sourced noisy labels. The model learns to classify and often to roughly localize objects using these cheaper, lower-quality supervision signals.
