Regional Patch-Based Feature Interpolation Method for Effective Regularization

초록

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can be overly dependent on training data, causing a generalization problem in which trained models may not predict real-world datasets. To address this problem, various regularization methods such as image manipulation and feature map regularization have been proposed for their strong generalization ability. In this paper, we propose a regularization method that applies both image manipulation and feature map regularization based on patches. The method proposed in this paper has a regularization effect in two stages, which makes it possible to better generalize the model. Consequently, it improves the performance of the model. Moreover, our method adds features extracted from other images in the hidden state stage, which not only makes the model robust to noise but also captures the distribution of each label. Through experiments, we show that our method performs competently on models that generate a large number of parameter and multiple feature maps for the CIFAR and Tiny-ImageNet datasets. © 2013 IEEE.
