While most deep learning architectures are built on convolution, alternative foundations like morphology are being explored for purposes like interpretability and its connection to the analysis and processing of geometric structures. The morphological hit-or-miss operation has the advantage that it takes into account both foreground and background information when evaluating target shape in an image. Herein, we identify limitations in existing hit-or-miss neural definitions and we formulate an optimization problem to learn the transform relative to deeper architectures. To this end, we model the semantically important condition that the intersection of the hit and miss structuring elements (SEs) should be empty and we present a way to express Dont Care (DNC), which is important for denoting regions of an SE that are not relevant to detecting a target pattern. Our analysis shows that convolution, in fact, acts like a hit-miss transform through semantic interpretation of its filter differences. On these premises, we introduce an extension that outperforms conventional convolution on benchmark data. Quantitative experiments are provided on synthetic and benchmark data, showing that the direct encoding hit-or-miss transform provides better interpretability on learned shapes consistent with objects whereas our morphologically inspired generalized convolution yields higher classification accuracy. Last, qualitative hit and miss filter visualizations are provided relative to single morphological layer.

Mathematical morphology is a theory and technique to collect features like geometric and topological structures in digital images. Given a target image, determining suitable morphological operations and structuring elements is a cumbersome and time-c
onsuming task. In this paper, a morphological neural network is proposed to address this problem. Serving as a nonlinear feature extracting layer in deep learning frameworks, the efficiency of the proposed morphological layer is confirmed analytically and empirically. With a known target, a single-filter morphological layer learns the structuring element correctly, and an adaptive layer can automatically select appropriate morphological operations. For practical applications, the proposed morphological neural networks are tested on several classification datasets related to shape or geometric image features, and the experimental results have confirmed the high computational efficiency and high accuracy.
We introduce a method to train Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs) - neural networks with binary weights and activations at run-time. At training-time the binary weights and activations are used for computing the parameters gradients. During the forward
pass, BNNs drastically reduce memory size and accesses, and replace most arithmetic operations with bit-wise operations, which is expected to substantially improve power-efficiency. To validate the effectiveness of BNNs we conduct two sets of experiments on the Torch7 and Theano frameworks. On both, BNNs achieved nearly state-of-the-art results over the MNIST, CIFAR-10 and SVHN datasets. Last but not least, we wrote a binary matrix multiplication GPU kernel with which it is possible to run our MNIST BNN 7 times faster than with an unoptimized GPU kernel, without suffering any loss in classification accuracy. The code for training and running our BNNs is available on-line.
In this paper we explore acceleration techniques for large scale nonconvex optimization problems with special focuses on deep neural networks. The extrapolation scheme is a classical approach for accelerating stochastic gradient descent for convex op
timization, but it does not work well for nonconvex optimization typically. Alternatively, we propose an interpolation scheme to accelerate nonconvex optimization and call the method Interpolatron. We explain motivation behind Interpolatron and conduct a thorough empirical analysis. Empirical results on DNNs of great depths (e.g., 98-layer ResNet and 200-layer ResNet) on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet show that Interpolatron can converge much faster than the state-of-the-art methods such as the SGD with momentum and Adam. Furthermore, Andersons acceleration, in which mixing coefficients are computed by least-squares estimation, can also be used to improve the performance. Both Interpolatron and Andersons acceleration are easy to implement and tune. We also show that Interpolatron has linear convergence rate under certain regularity assumptions.
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been proven to be extremely successful at solving computer vision tasks. State-of-the-art methods favor such deep network architectures for its accuracy performance, with the cost of having massive number of
parameters and high weights redundancy. Previous works have studied how to prune such CNNs weights. In this paper, we go to another extreme and analyze the performance of a network stacked with a single convolution kernel across layers, as well as other weights sharing techniques. We name it Deep Anchored Convolutional Neural Network (DACNN). Sharing the same kernel weights across layers allows to reduce the model size tremendously, more precisely, the network is compressed in memory by a factor of L, where L is the desired depth of the network, disregarding the fully connected layer for prediction. The number of parameters in DACNN barely increases as the network grows deeper, which allows us to build deep DACNNs without any concern about memory costs. We also introduce a partial shared weights network (DACNN-mix) as well as an easy-plug-in module, coined regulators, to boost the performance of our architecture. We validated our idea on 3 datasets: CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100 and SVHN. Our results show that we can save massive amounts of memory with our model, while maintaining a high accuracy performance.
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved state-of-the-art results on many visual recognition tasks. However, current CNN models still exhibit a poor ability to be invariant to spatial transformations of images. Intuitively, with sufficient
layers and parameters, hierarchical combinations of convolution (matrix multiplication and non-linear activation) and pooling operations should be able to learn a robust mapping from transformed input images to transform-invariant representations. In this paper, we propose randomly transforming (rotation, scale, and translation) feature maps of CNNs during the training stage. This prevents complex dependencies of specific rotation, scale, and translation levels of training images in CNN models. Rather, each convolutional kernel learns to detect a feature that is generally helpful for producing the transform-invariant answer given the combinatorially large variety of transform levels of its input feature maps. In this way, we do not require any extra training supervision or modification to the optimization process and training images. We show that random transformation provides significant improvements of CNNs on many benchmark tasks, including small-scale image recognition, large-scale image recognition, and image retrieval.
