Feature-wise linear modulation (FiLM) as mentioned in this paper is a general-purpose conditioning method for neural networks, which can influence neural network computation via a simple, feature-wise affine transformation based on conditioning information.
Abstract
We introduce a general-purpose conditioning method for neural networks called FiLM: Feature-wise Linear Modulation. FiLM layers influence neural network computation via a simple, feature-wise affine transformation based on conditioning information. We show that FiLM layers are highly effective for visual reasoning - answering image-related questions which require a multi-step, high-level process - a task which has proven difficult for standard deep learning methods that do not explicitly model reasoning. Specifically, we show on visual reasoning tasks that FiLM layers 1) halve state-of-the-art error for the CLEVR benchmark, 2) modulate features in a coherent manner, 3) are robust to ablations and architectural modifications, and 4) generalize well to challenging, new data from few examples or even zero-shot.

Large Scale GAN Training for High Fidelity Natural Image Synthesis

TL;DR: BigGAN as mentioned in this paper applies orthogonal regularization to the generator, allowing fine control over the trade-off between sample fidelity and variety by reducing the variance of the generator's input, leading to models which set the new state of the art in class-conditional image synthesis.

TADAM: Task dependent adaptive metric for improved few-shot learning

TL;DR: This work identifies that metric scaling and metric task conditioning are important to improve the performance of few-shot algorithms and proposes and empirically test a practical end-to-end optimization procedure based on auxiliary task co-training to learn a task-dependent metric space.

Meta-Transfer Learning for Few-Shot Learning

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a meta-transfer learning approach to adapt a base-learner to a new task for which only a few labeled samples are available, which learns scaling and shifting functions of DNN weights for each task.

Rethinking Spatiotemporal Feature Learning: Speed-Accuracy Trade-offs in Video Classification

TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to replace many of the 3D convolutions by low-cost 2D convolution, suggesting that temporal representation learning on high-level “semantic” features is more useful.

Adam: A Method for Stochastic Optimization

TL;DR: This work introduces Adam, an algorithm for first-order gradient-based optimization of stochastic objective functions, based on adaptive estimates of lower-order moments, and provides a regret bound on the convergence rate that is comparable to the best known results under the online convex optimization framework.
