CondInst is a simple yet effective instance segmentation framework. It eliminates ROI cropping and feature alignment with the instance-aware mask heads. As a result, CondInst can solve instance segmentation with fully convolutional networks. CondInst is able to produce high-resolution instance masks without longer computational time. Extensive experiments show that CondInst can achieve even better performance and inference speed than [Mask R-CNN](https://paperswithcode.com/method/mask-r-cnn). It can be a strong alternative to previous ROI-based instance segmentation methods. Code is at https://github.com/aim-uofa/AdelaiDet.

TWEC is a method to generate temporal word embeddings: this method is efficient and it is based on a simple heuristic: we train an atemporal word embedding, the compass and we use this embedding to freeze one of the layers of the CBOW architecture. The frozen architecture is then used to train time-specific slices that are all comparable after training.

Conditional Convolutions for Instance Segmentation

**Disp R-CNN** is a 3D object detection system for stereo images. It utilizes an instance disparity estimation network (iDispNet) that predicts disparity only for pixels on objects of interest and learns a category-specific shape prior for more accurate disparity estimation. To address the challenge from scarcity of disparity annotation in training, a statistical shape model is used to generate dense disparity pseudo-ground-truth without the need of LiDAR point clouds.
