Curriculum Learning (CL) is a recently introduced technique for training deep learning models, which has achieved remarkable results in some computer vision tasks. However, its effectiveness is still debated, with marginal or no improvements seen in others. This paper investigates the impact of CL on crowd counting using density estimation methods. By conducting 112 experiments across six different CL settings and eight different crowd models, our study shows that CL improves model learning performance and reduces convergence time. The findings provide insights into the potential benefits and limitations of incorporating curriculum learning as a standard method for training supervised learning models.

Imagine you’re trying to teach a computer to count people in a crowded area. A new way called Curriculum Learning (CL) has been developed to help train these computers better. Some studies have shown that CL works really well, while others haven’t seen much difference. This research explores whether CL can improve the accuracy and speed of crowd counting using a special method. By testing 112 different settings with eight different models, our study shows that CL can make the training process more efficient and accurate.
