PCANet and its variants provided good accuracy results for classification tasks. However, despite the importance of network depth in achieving good classification accuracy, these networks were trained with a maximum of nine layers. In this…

Recent deep CNNs contain forward shortcut connections; i.e. skip connections from low to high layers. Reusing features from lower layers that have higher resolution (location information) benefit higher layers to recover lost details and…

Neural Networks sequentially build high-level features through their successive layers. We propose here a new neural network model where each layer is associated with a set of candidate mappings. When an input is processed, at each layer,…

Neural collapse (NC) is a simple and symmetric phenomenon for deep neural networks (DNNs) at the terminal phase of training, where the last-layer features collapse to their class means and form a simplex equiangular tight frame aligning…

Deep neural networks have a good success record and are thus viewed as the best architecture choice for complex applications. Their main shortcoming has been, for a long time, the vanishing gradient which prevented the numerical…
