Novel CNN Embedder Architectures

  • computer vision
  • neural architectures
  • embeddings
Draft in progress. Full writeup expected soon — placeholder sections may be light or absent.

What

Investigating embedder architecture variants for convolutional image neural networks, with the localization pipeline above as one of the downstream consumers.

What’s coming

  • The architectural changes under study and the motivation for each
  • How the embedder interacts with the segmentation backbone in the localization stack
  • Empirical comparison against standard CNN embedders on the relevant tasks
  • What I’d recommend, with caveats

This piece will likely ship at the same time as the main paper.
