Computer VisionMethodology

Novel Object Detection is a challenging task introduced by Fomenko et.al. in their paper "Learning to Discover and Detect Objects". The goal in this task is to measure mAP performance on known as well as novel classes, where the known classes correspond to the 80 COCO classes, and the novel classes are the remaining 1123 classes from LVIS dataset. Thus, during training the model can only be trained with annotations from COCO dataset, but during evaluation/inference it is expected to BOTH classify and detect objects belonging to ALL the classes in the LVIS dataset.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

1 leaderboard table shown for this task, 1 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.

Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.

Libraries

Not in the archive: the export carries no per-task library table, so there is nothing to show at snapshot 2025-07-28.

24 shown of 24 papers with code (53 tagged with this task in all), ordered by repositories listed in the archive, not by stars (the archive holds no stars, so PwC's “Social” and “Latest” sorts cannot be reproduced). Papers without a page here are shown as plain text.

Syntology lines on 5 of the papers shown; no Syntology record for the others (a paper without an arXiv id cannot be joined to the graph, and absence from the graph layer is not a recorded non-run). “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized fixture, not that the paper's result was reproduced.
