Abstract

We propose a novel convolutional network architecture that abstracts and differentiates the categories based on a given class hierarchy. We exploit grouped and discriminative information provided by the taxonomy, by focusing on the general and specific components that comprise each category, through the min- and difference-pooling operations. Without using any additional parameters or substantial increase in time complexity, our model is able to learn the features that are discriminative for classifying often confused sub-classes belonging to the same superclass, and thus improve the overall classification performance. We validate our method on CIFAR-100, Places-205, and ImageNet Animal datasets, on which our model obtains significant improvements over the base convolutional networks.

1
We also test XOR-pooling that assign 0 to the elements of the children feature maps that are also selected at the parent feature map. However, in our experiments, the XOR-pooling results in a worse performance than diff-pooling, perhaps due to excessive sparsity.
 
2
Our experiments reveal that the network is not sensitive to these balancing parameters, as long as the base-level categorization loss has a higher weight than others. That is, \(w_l^m, w_l^d < 1\).
