about contrastive denoise

[SPA-junghokim]

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for your outstanding research on the application of denoising methodologies in segmentation. Your work in this field is truly remarkable and has captured my interest.

I have a couple of questions regarding the potential extensions and applications of your work:

1. Do you believe that applying denoising techniques to semantic segmentation could yield performance improvements? I noticed that your code is solely focused on instance segmentation with denoising. I am curious if there is a specific reason you have not posted anything related to panoptic segmentation in this context.

2. Have you considered experimenting with contrastive denoising? Given the importance of suppressing negative samples in query processing, it seems like an approach that could enhance performance. I would greatly value your insights as a senior researcher in this field.

I am eager to hear your thoughts on these matters and look forward to the possibility of further discussion.

Thank you for your time and for the significant contributions you have made to our field.

Sincerely,
Jungho Kim.
