Contrasting the previous evidence that neurons in the later layers of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) respond to complex object shapes, recent studies have shown that CNNs actually exhibit a `texture bias: given an image with both texture and shape cues (e.g., a stylized image), a CNN is biased towards predicting the category corresponding to the texture. However, these previous studies conduct experiments on the final classification output of the network, and fail to robustly evaluate the bias contained (i) in the latent representations, and (ii) on a per-pixel level. In this paper, we design a series of experiments that overcome these issues. We do this with the goal of better understanding what type of shape information contained in the network is discriminative, where shape information is encoded, as well as when the network learns about object shape during training. We show that a network learns the majority of overall shape information at the first few epochs of training and that this information is largely encoded in the last few layers of a CNN. Finally, we show that the encoding of shape does not imply the encoding of localized per-pixel semantic information. The experimental results and findings provide a more accurate understanding of the behaviour of current CNNs, thus helping to inform future design choices.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) traditionally encode translation equivariance via the convolution operation. Generalization to other transformations has recently received attraction to encode the knowledge of the data geometry in group convoluti
on operations. Equivariance to rotation is particularly important for 3D image analysis due to the large diversity of possible pattern orientations. 3D texture is a particularly important cue for the analysis of medical images such as CT and MRI scans as it describes different types of tissues and lesions. In this paper, we evaluate the use of 3D group equivariant CNNs accounting for the simplified group of right-angle rotations to classify 3D synthetic textures from a publicly available dataset. The results validate the importance of rotation equivariance in a controlled setup and yet motivate the use of a finer coverage of orientations in order to obtain equivariance to realistic rotations present in 3D textures.
The margin-based softmax loss functions greatly enhance intra-class compactness and perform well on the tasks of face recognition and object classification. Outperformance, however, depends on the careful hyperparameter selection. Moreover, the hard
angle restriction also increases the risk of overfitting. In this paper, angular loss suggested by maximizing the angular gradient to promote intra-class compactness avoids overfitting. Besides, our method has only one adjustable constant for intra-class compactness control. We define three metrics to measure inter-class separability and intra-class compactness. In experiments, we test our method, as well as other methods, on many well-known datasets. Experimental results reveal that our method has the superiority of accuracy improvement, discriminative information, and time-consumption.
In this work, we revisit the global average pooling layer proposed in [13], and shed light on how it explicitly enables the convolutional neural network to have remarkable localization ability despite being trained on image-level labels. While this t
echnique was previously proposed as a means for regularizing training, we find that it actually builds a generic localizable deep representation that can be applied to a variety of tasks. Despite the apparent simplicity of global average pooling, we are able to achieve 37.1% top-5 error for object localization on ILSVRC 2014, which is remarkably close to the 34.2% top-5 error achieved by a fully supervised CNN approach. We demonstrate that our network is able to localize the discriminative image regions on a variety of tasks despite not being trained for them
Locally Rotation Invariant (LRI) operators have shown great potential in biomedical texture analysis where patterns appear at random positions and orientations. LRI operators can be obtained by computing the responses to the discrete rotation of loca
l descriptors, such as Local Binary Patterns (LBP) or the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). Other strategies achieve this invariance using Laplacian of Gaussian or steerable wavelets for instance, preventing the introduction of sampling errors during the discretization of the rotations. In this work, we obtain LRI operators via the local projection of the image on the spherical harmonics basis, followed by the computation of the bispectrum, which shares and extends the invariance properties of the spectrum. We investigate the benefits of using the bispectrum over the spectrum in the design of a LRI layer embedded in a shallow Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for 3D image analysis. The performance of each design is evaluated on two datasets and compared against a standard 3D CNN. The first dataset is made of 3D volumes composed of synthetically generated rotated patterns, while the second contains malignant and benign pulmonary nodules in Computed Tomography (CT) images. The results indicate that bispectrum CNNs allows for a significantly better characterization of 3D textures than both the spectral and standard CNN. In addition, it can efficiently learn with fewer training examples and trainable parameters when compared to a standard convolutional layer.
Shape and texture are two prominent and complementary cues for recognizing objects. Nonetheless, Convolutional Neural Networks are often biased towards either texture or shape, depending on the training dataset. Our ablation shows that such bias dege
nerates model performance. Motivated by this observation, we develop a simple algorithm for shape-texture debiased learning. To prevent models from exclusively attending on a single cue in representation learning, we augment training data with images with conflicting shape and texture information (eg, an image of chimpanzee shape but with lemon texture) and, most importantly, provide the corresponding supervisions from shape and texture simultaneously. Experiments show that our method successfully improves model performance on several image recognition benchmarks and adversarial robustness. For example, by training on ImageNet, it helps ResNet-152 achieve substantial improvements on ImageNet (+1.2%), ImageNet-A (+5.2%), ImageNet-C (+8.3%) and Stylized-ImageNet (+11.1%), and on defending against FGSM adversarial attacker on ImageNet (+14.4%). Our method also claims to be compatible with other advanced data augmentation strategies, eg, Mixup, and CutMix. The code is available here: https://github.com/LiYingwei/ShapeTextureDebiasedTraining.
