text: 'We introduce a new loss function for the weakly-supervised training of semantic
image segmentation models based on three guiding principles: to seed with weak
localization cues, to expand objects based on the information about which classes
can occur in an image, and to constrain the segmentations to coincide with object
boundaries. We show experimentally that training a deep convolutional neural network
using the proposed loss function leads to substantially better segmentations than
previous state-of-the-art methods on the challenging PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset.
We furthermore give insight into the working mechanism of our method by a detailed
experimental study that illustrates how the segmentation quality is affected by
each term of the proposed loss function as well as their combinations.'
