ICML 2019oral

This paper aims to build efficient convolutional neural networks using a set of Lego filters. Many successful building blocks, e.g., inception and residual modules, have been designed to refresh state-of-the-art records of CNNs on visual recognition tasks. Beyond these high-level modules, we suggest…

Low-resolution Visual Recognition via Deep Feature Distillation

ICASSP 2019accepted

Here we study the low-resolution visual recognition problem. Conventional methods are usually trained on images with large ROIs (regions of interest), while the regions and insider images are often small and blur in real-world applications. Therefore, deep neural networks learned on high-resolution…
