Many … applications require the detection of novel objects, yet state-of-the-art object detection … do not excel at this task.

… their assumption … teaches the model to treat the unannotated objects as background.

… propose a simple yet surprisingly powerful data augmentation and training scheme we call Learning to Detect Every Thing (LDET).

… paste annotated objects on a background image sampled from a small region of the original image.

… training into two parts: 1) training … classification … head on augmented images, and 2) training the mask heads on original images.

… LDET … outperforming baselines on cross-category generalization on COCO, as well as cross-dataset evaluation on UVO and Cityscapes.
