Most modern convolutional neural networks (CNNs) used for object recognition are built using the same principles: Alternating convolution and max-pooling layers followed by a small number of fully connected layers. We re-evaluate the state of the art for object recognition from small images with convolutional networks, questioning the necessity of different components in the pipeline. We find that max-pooling can simply be replaced by a convolutional layer with increased stride without loss in accuracy on several image recognition benchmarks. Following this finding -- and building on other recent work for finding simple network structures -- we propose a new architecture that consists solely of convolutional layers and yields competitive or state of the art performance on several object recognition datasets (CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, ImageNet). To analyze the network we introduce a new variant of the deconvolution approach for visualizing features learned by CNNs, which can be applied to a broader range of network structures than existing approaches.

This paper prescribes a suite of techniques for off-policy Reinforcement Learning (RL) that simplify the training process and reduce the sample complexity. First, we show that simple Deterministic Policy Gradient works remarkably well as long as the
overestimation bias is controlled. This is contrast to existing literature which creates sophisticated off-policy techniques. Second, we pinpoint training instabilities, typical of off-policy algorithms, to the greedy policy update step; existing solutions such as delayed policy updates do not mitigate this issue. Third, we show that ideas in the propensity estimation literature can be used to importance-sample transitions from the replay buffer and selectively update the policy to prevent deterioration of performance. We make these claims using extensive experimentation on a set of challenging MuJoCo tasks. A short video of our results can be seen at https://tinyurl.com/scs6p5m .
We aim to develop off-policy DRL algorithms that not only exceed state-of-the-art performance but are also simple and minimalistic. For standard continuous control benchmarks, Soft Actor-Critic (SAC), which employs entropy maximization, currently pro
vides state-of-the-art performance. We first demonstrate that the entropy term in SAC addresses action saturation due to the bounded nature of the action spaces, with this insight, we propose a streamlined algorithm with a simple normalization scheme or with inverted gradients. We show that both approaches can match SACs sample efficiency performance without the need of entropy maximization, we then propose a simple non-uniform sampling method for selecting transitions from the replay buffer during training. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed sampling scheme leads to state of the art sample efficiency on challenging continuous control tasks. We combine all of our findings into one simple algorithm, which we call Streamlined Off Policy with Emphasizing Recent Experience, for which we provide robust public-domain code.
Despite having high accuracy, neural nets have been shown to be susceptible to adversarial examples, where a small perturbation to an input can cause it to become mislabeled. We propose metrics for measuring the robustness of a neural net and devise
a novel algorithm for approximating these metrics based on an encoding of robustness as a linear program. We show how our metrics can be used to evaluate the robustness of deep neural nets with experiments on the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets. Our algorithm generates more informative estimates of robustness metrics compared to estimates based on existing algorithms. Furthermore, we show how existing approaches to improving robustness overfit to adversarial examples generated using a specific algorithm. Finally, we show that our techniques can be used to additionally improve neural net robustness both according to the metrics that we propose, but also according to previously proposed metrics.
In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised deep learning model, called PCA-based Convolutional Network (PCN). The architecture of PCN is composed of several feature extraction stages and a nonlinear output stage. Particularly, each feature extrac
tion stage includes two layers: a convolutional layer and a feature pooling layer. In the convolutional layer, the filter banks are simply learned by PCA. In the nonlinear output stage, binary hashing is applied. For the higher convolutional layers, the filter banks are learned from the feature maps that were obtained in the previous stage. To test PCN, we conducted extensive experiments on some challenging tasks, including handwritten digits recognition, face recognition and texture classification. The results show that PCN performs competitive with or even better than state-of-the-art deep learning models. More importantly, since there is no back propagation for supervised finetuning, PCN is much more efficient than existing deep networks.
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have proven to be highly successful at a range of image-to-image tasks. CNNs can be computationally expensive, which can limit their applicability in practice. Model pruning can improve computational efficiency by
sparsifying trained networks. Common methods for pruning CNNs determine what convolutional filters to remove by ranking filters on an individual basis. However, filters are not independent, as CNNs consist of chains of convolutions, which can result in sub-optimal filter selection. We propose a novel pruning method, LongEst-chAiN (LEAN) pruning, which takes the interdependency between the convolution operations into account. We propose to prune CNNs by using graph-based algorithms to select relevant chains of convolutions. A CNN is interpreted as a graph, with the operator norm of each convolution as distance metric for the edges. LEAN pruning iteratively extracts the highest value path from the graph to keep. In our experiments, we test LEAN pruning for several image-to-image tasks, including the well-known CamVid dataset. LEAN pruning enables us to keep just 0.5%-2% of the convolutions without significant loss of accuracy. When pruning CNNs with LEAN, we achieve a higher accuracy than pruning filters individually, and different pruned substructures emerge.
