Weakly Supervised Object Detection

Weakly Supervised Object Detection (WSOD) trains object detectors using only image-level labels — indicating which object classes appear in an image — without requiring costly bounding-box annotations. Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) formulations allow the model to discover the likely location of each object class from classification signals alone, dramatically reducing annotation cost.
