The discontinuous operations inherent in quantization and sparsification introduce a long-standing obstacle to backpropagation, particularly in ultra-low precision and sparse regimes. While the community has long viewed quantization as unfriendly to gradient descent due to its lack of smoothness, we…
Inspired by two basic mechanisms in animal visual systems, we introduce a feature transform technique that imposes invariance properties in the training of deep neural networks. The resulting algorithm requires less parameter tuning, trains well with an initial learning rate 1.0, and easily generali…
Geospatial object detection is an essential task in remote sensing community. One-stage methods based on deep learning have faster running speed but cannot reach higher detection accuracy than two-stage methods. In this paper, to achieve excellent speed/accuracy trade-off for geospatial object detec…
