This paper proposes a novel object-centric learning (OCL) framework that leverages both bottom-up and top-down pathways to learn representations of individual objects within visual scenes. The traditional OCL methods focus on aggregating homogeneous visual features, but this approach is insufficient in complex environments where visual features are heterogeneous. The proposed framework incorporates a top-down pathway that bootstraps object semantics and modulates the model to prioritize relevant features. This dynamic modulation enhances the representational quality of objects. The framework achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple benchmarks.

This paper wants to help computers learn about individual objects in pictures without needing humans to label them first. Right now, computers struggle when there are many different things in a picture that can be confusing. To fix this, the researchers created a new way for computers to learn using both “bottom-up” and “top-down” approaches. The top-down approach helps the computer focus on important features of each object. This makes it better at recognizing objects. In tests with real and fake pictures, the new method did the best.
