Yang Y, Zhong Z, Shen T, et al. Convolutional Neural Networks with Alternately Updated Clique[C]//Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. 2018: 2413-2422.



1. Overview




In this paper, it proposed CliqueNet

  • improving information flow
  • both forward and backward connections between any two layers in the same block
  • combination of recurrent structure and feedback mechanisim

1.1. Contribution

  • CliqueNet
  • multi-scale feature strategy
  • experiments on five datasets

1.2.1. Network

  • Multi-column networks
  • Deeply-Fused Nets
  • GooLeNet
  • (WRN) wide residual networks
  • FractalNet
  • ResNet
  • DenseNet
  • (DPN) dual path networks



2. Methods




2.1. Clique Block

  • recurrent feedback structure ensures that the communication is maximized among all layers in the block



  • while concat feature, the weight matrix of corresponding layers also are concat



2.2. Extra Techniques

2.2.1. Attention Transition

  • only add to transition layer


2.2.2. Bottleneck and Compression

  • introduce bottleneck to block
  • introduce compression to feature of loss function before global pooling

2.3. Implementation





3. Experiments


3.1. Details

  • Dropout 0.2 after each Conv

3.2. Comparison




3.3. Stage I vs Stage II
