Embedding Page

Runtian edited this page Jan 6, 2021 · 2 revisions

The embedding page is a 2D representation of all patches in the system, where patches perceived to be similar by the model are plotted closely together, and updates as the model trains. (Note: these patches are generated by Make Patches and users' annotations.)

Embedding Page UI


Embedding Page UI

In the embedding plot, every 256x256 patch is represented in form of a circle dot, different colors indicating groups of patches of different image tiles. When hovering over a dot, a preview of the patch is shown and subsequently clicking on the dot takes the user to the annotation page centered around that patch. This practice helps the user to train a robust classifier in a more efficient approach. See more details about Best Practice to use Quick Annotator (QA) more robustly and efficiently.

The Information bar contains metadata information for the embedding page.

The user could adjust the numbers of patches (Patch Number) plotted on the embedding table by Embed Slider. The user would like to slide the Embed Slider rightmost (select all) when there are less than 30 images in the project. More images in the project come with potentially overwhelming numbers of image patches embedded for some users at the project level. In this case, the user would like to use the Embed Slider to adjust the number of patches in the embedding plot. Here is a demo for using Embed Slider.

Latest ID is the newest model number trained by the user; Current ID is the model number that the current embedding plot employs; Selected ID is the model number that the user could Re_embed. The user can Re_embed a new embedding plot as the user is interested in the embedding plot of other Selected ID.

For example, the user usually will Re_embed as there is a new DL model available. The user is also able to Select ID and then View Embedding, which is very useful to compare the difference between embedding plots of different models.

Note: Re_embed does not automatically update the embedding plot, the user needs to click View Embedding to update the page. QA does not allow a Selected ID larger than Latest ID.
