Models & Research

Key Points

  • The paper introduces a novel loss function designed for training a distributed convolutional neural network (DisCNN) that focuses on recognizing a specific positive class.
  • DisCNN maps positive samples to a compact region in high-dimensional space while mapping negative samples to the Origin, effectively disentangling positive features from negative ones.
  • The lightweight architecture of DisCNN requires extracting only a few positive-class features, allowing for efficient model design and operation.
  • Experimental results demonstrate excellent generalization on test data, including effective recognition of unseen classes.
  • DisCNN facilitates straightforward object detection of positive samples embedded within complex and large background scenes.

Abstract:This paper proposes a novel loss function for training a distributed convolutional neural network (DisCNN) to recognize only a specific positive class. By mapping positive samples to a compact set in high-dimensional space and negative samples to Origin, the DisCNN extracts only the features of the positive class. An experiment is given to prove this. Thus, the features of the positive class are disentangled from those of the negative classes. The model has a lightweight architecture because only a few positive-class features need to be extracted. The model demonstrates excellent generalization on the test data and remains effective even for unseen classes. Finally, using DisCNN, object detection of positive samples embedded in a large and complex background is straightforward.
