Abstract:

In this talk, I will introduce the deep fusion framework for deep convolutional neural network architecture design and present two design methods. The first method aims to improve ResNets by assembling residual branches in parallel with merge and run mappings, which results in less deep but wider networks. In the second work along the path of going wider, I will introduce interleaved group convolutions, which is a drop-in replacement of regular convolutions and  more efficient in using parameters and computation than regular convolutions. The proposed two networks are evaluated on image classification.
