Rescaling CNN through Learnable Repetition of Network Parameters

Chavan, Arnav, Bamba, Udbhav, Tiwari, Rishabh et al.

Understand

Deeper and wider CNNs are known to provide improved performance for deep learning tasks.

  • However, most such networks have poor performance gain per parameter increase.
  • In this paper, we investigate whether the gain observed in deeper models is purely due to the addition of more optimization parameters or whether the physical size of the network as well plays a role.
  • Further, we present a novel rescaling strategy for CNNs based on learnable repetition of its parameters.
