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.

Colorful Image Colorization

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of hallucinating a plausible color version of the photograph is addressed by posing it as a classification task and using class-balancing at training time to increase the diversity of colors in the result.

Channel Pruning for Accelerating Very Deep Neural Networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a LASSO regression based channel selection and least square reconstruction is proposed to accelerate very deep convolutional neural networks, which achieves 5× speedup along with only 0.3% increase of error.

Domain randomization for transferring deep neural networks from simulation to the real world

TL;DR: This paper explores domain randomization, a simple technique for training models on simulated images that transfer to real images by randomizing rendering in the simulator, and achieves the first successful transfer of a deep neural network trained only on simulated RGB images to the real world for the purpose of robotic control.

Quantization and Training of Neural Networks for Efficient Integer-Arithmetic-Only Inference

TL;DR: A quantization scheme is proposed that allows inference to be carried out using integer- only arithmetic, which can be implemented more efficiently than floating point inference on commonly available integer-only hardware.

Stacked Attention Networks for Image Question Answering

TL;DR: In this paper, a stacked attention network (SAN) is proposed to learn to answer natural language questions from images by using semantic representation of a question as query to search for the regions in an image that are related to the answer.

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.
