Zusammenfassung: | The problem of sketch semantic segmentation is far from being solved. Despite existing methods exhibiting near-saturating performances on simple sketches with high recognisability, they suffer serious setbacks when the target sketches are products of an imaginative process with high degree of creativity. We hypothesise that human creativity, being highly individualistic, induces a significant shift in distribution of sketches, leading to poor model generalisation. Such hypothesis, backed by empirical evidences, opens the door for a solution that explicitly disentangles creativity while learning sketch representations. We materialise this by crafting a learnable creativity estimator that assigns a scalar score of creativity to each sketch. It follows that we introduce CreativeSeg, a learning-to-learn framework that leverages the estimator in order to learn creativity-agnostic representation, and eventually the downstream semantic segmentation task. We empirically verify the superiority of CreativeSeg on the recent "Creative Birds" and "Creative Creatures" creative sketch datasets. Through a human study, we further strengthen the case that the learned creativity score does indeed have a positive correlation with the subjective creativity of human.
