Etymo Trending

Presented below is a list of the most trending papers added in the last two weeks.

  • GCNet: Non-local Networks Meet Squeeze-Excitation Networks and Beyond:
    The authors designed a global context network (GCNet), which unifies both simplified NLNet and SENet and enhances it with a lightweight instantiation. GCNet generally outperforms both simplified NLNet and SENet on major benchmarks for various recognition tasks. The code and configurations are also available.

  • Unsupervised Data Augmentation:
    This paper proposes to apply data augmentation to unlabeled data in a semi-supervised learning setting. The method, named Unsupervised Data Augmentation or UDA, encourages the model predictions to be consistent between an unlabeled example and an augmented unlabeled example, by using state-of-the-art data augmentation methods.

  • Local Relation Networks for Image Recognition:
    The authors present a new image feature extractor, called the local relation layer, that adaptively determines aggregation weights based on the compositional relationship of local pixel pairs. It can composite visual elements into higher-level entities in a more efficient manner that benefits semantic inference.
