Falcon Perception-HD uses reinforcement learning for improved object detection

Researchers have developed Falcon Perception-HD, a new autoregressive perception model that utilizes post-training reinforcement learning (RL) to directly optimize for perception metrics like precision and recall. This approach addresses limitations of traditional supervised fine-tuning, which uses a proxy objective. Falcon Perception-HD demonstrates significant improvements in handling dense scenes with up to 500 objects, reduces issues like mask repetitions, and minimizes the need for post-processing steps such as NMS and coordinate deduplication. AI

    Falcon Perception-HD: High Density Perception via Reinforcement Learning

    Autoregressive perception models trained to localize visual entities under the open-vocabulary setting are mostly trained using Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) with maximum likelihood, yet it optimizes a proxy objective (per-token cross-entropy) that is fundamentally misaligned with…
