Abstract
In this work we investigate the effect of the convolutional network depth on its accuracy in the large-scale image recognition setting. Our main contribution is a thorough evaluation of networks of increasing depth using an architecture with very small (3x3) convolution filters, which shows that a significant improvement on the prior-art configurations can be achieved by pushing the depth to 16-19 weight layers. These findings were the basis of our ImageNet Challenge 2014 submission, where our team secured the first and the second places in the localisation and classification tracks respectively. We also show that our representations generalise well to other datasets, where they achieve state-of-the-art results. We have made our two best-performing ConvNet models publicly available to facilitate further research on the use of deep visual representations in computer vision.

Human Pose Estimation via Convolutional Part Heatmap Regression

TL;DR: In this article, a CNN cascaded architecture was proposed for learning part relationships and spatial context, and robustly inferring pose even for the case of severe part occlusions. But the performance of the proposed architecture is limited.

A genetic programming approach to designing convolutional neural network architectures

TL;DR: This paper attempts to automatically construct CNN architectures for an image classification task based on Cartesian genetic programming (CGP), and shows that the proposed method can be used to automatically find the competitive CNN architecture compared with state-of-the-art models.

ImageNet: A large-scale hierarchical image database

TL;DR: A new database called “ImageNet” is introduced, a large-scale ontology of images built upon the backbone of the WordNet structure, much larger in scale and diversity and much more accurate than the current image datasets.

Rich Feature Hierarchies for Accurate Object Detection and Semantic Segmentation

TL;DR: RCNN as discussed by the authors combines CNNs with bottom-up region proposals to localize and segment objects, and when labeled training data is scarce, supervised pre-training for an auxiliary task, followed by domain-specific fine-tuning, yields a significant performance boost.
