In this work, two existing hard example mining approaches (LRM and focal loss, FL) are adapted and combined in a state-of-the-art real-time object detector, YOLOv5. The effectiveness of the proposed approach for improving the performance on hard examples is extensively evaluated. The proposed method increases mAP by 3% compared to using the original loss function and around 1-2% compared to using the hard-mining methods (LRM or FL) individually on 2021 Anti-UAV Challenge Dataset.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.13080v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.13080v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"improved-hard-example-mining-approach-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/aybora/yolov5loss","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"object","task_name":"Object"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
