Abstract
In the past few years, we have seen great progress in perception algorithms, particular through the use of deep learning. However, most existing approaches focus on a few categories of interest, which represent only a small fraction of the potential categories that robots need to handle in the real-world. Thus, identifying objects from unknown classes remains a challenging yet crucial task. In this paper, we develop a novel open-set instance segmentation algorithm for point clouds which can segment objects from both known and unknown classes in a holistic way. Our method uses a deep convolutional neural network to project points into a category-agnostic embedding space in which they can be clustered into instances irrespective of their semantics. Experiments on two large-scale self-driving datasets validate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
