• Abstract: It is widely known that very small datasets produce overfitting in Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), i.e., the network becomes highly biased to the data it has been trained on. This issue is often alleviated using transfer learning, regularization techniques and/or data augmentation. This work presents a new approach, independent but complementary to the previous mentioned techniques, for improving the generalization of DNNs on very small datasets in which the involved classes share many visual features. The proposed methodology, called FuCiTNet (Fusion Class inherent Transformations Network), inspired by GANs, creates as many generators as classes in the problem. Each generator, $k$, learns the transformations that bring the input image into the k-class domain. We introduce a classification loss in the generators to drive the leaning of specific k-class transformations. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed transformations improve the generalization of the classification model in three diverse datasets.

• Generalization emerges from local optimization in a self-organized learning network [0.0]
  We design and analyze a new paradigm for building supervised learning networks, driven only by local optimization rules without relying on a global error function. Our network stores new knowledge in the nodes accurately and instantaneously, in the form of a lookup table. We show on numerous examples of classification tasks that the networks generated by our algorithm systematically reach such a state of perfect generalization when the number of learned examples becomes sufficiently large. We report on the dynamics of the change of state and show that it is abrupt and has the distinctive characteristics of a first order phase transition, a phenomenon already observed for traditional learning networks and known as grokking.

  We show that transformation-invariant and distance-preserving initial representations are sufficient to achieve transformation invariance. Specifically, we realize transformation-invariant and distance-preserving initial point representations by modifying multi-dimensional scaling. We prove that TinvNN can strictly guarantee transformation invariance, being general and flexible enough to be combined with the existing neural networks.

  A different idea has been recently proposed, named Friendly Training, which consists in altering the input data by adding an automatically estimated perturbation. We revisit and extend this idea inspired by the effectiveness of neural generators in the context of Adversarial Machine Learning. We propose an auxiliary multi-layer network that is responsible of altering the input data to make them easier to be handled by the classifier.

  Weakly supervised semantic segmentation is a challenging problem that has been deeply studied in recent years.

To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, extensive experiments on PASCAL VOC 2012 dataset with several alternative network architectures demonstrate that CDA can boost various popular WSSS methods to the new state-of-the-art by a large margin.
