Abstract

Improved techniques for training a machine learning (ML) model are discussed herein. Training the ML model can be based on a subset of examples. In particular, the training can include identifying a reference region associated with an area of the image representing an object, and selecting, based at least in part on a first confidence score associated with a first bounding box, a first hard example for inclusion in the subset of examples. In some cases, the first confidence score and the first bounding box can be associated with a first portion of the feature map. Next, the training can include determining that a first degree of alignment of the first bounding box to the reference region is above a threshold degree of alignment, and in response, replacing the first hard example with a second hard example.
