… propose Cut-and-LEaRn (CutLER), a simple approach for training unsupervised object detection and segmentation models.

… leverage the property of self-supervised models to ‘discover’ objects without supervision and amplify it to train a state-of-the-art localization model without any human labels.

CutLER first uses … proposed MaskCut approach to generate coarse masks for multiple objects in an image and then learns a detector on these masks

… improve the performance by self-training the model on its predictions.

Compared to prior work, CutLER is simpler, compatible with different detection architectures, and detects multiple objects.

CutLER is also a zero-shot unsupervised detector and improves detection performance AP50 by over 2.7 times on 11 benchmarks … like video frames, paintings, sketches, etc. With finetuning, CutLER serves as a low-shot detector surpassing MoCo-v2 by 7.3% APbox and 6.6% APmask …
