• Abstract: A large amount of research on Convolutional Neural Networks has focused on flat Classification in the multi-class domain. In the real world, many problems are naturally expressed as problems of hierarchical classification, in which the classes to be predicted are organized in a hierarchy of classes. In this paper, we propose a new architecture for hierarchical classification of images, introducing a stack of deep linear layers with cross-entropy loss functions and center loss combined. The proposed architecture can extend any neural network model and simultaneously optimizes loss functions to discover local hierarchical class relationships and a loss function to discover global information from the whole class hierarchy while penalizing class hierarchy violations. We experimentally show that our hierarchical classifier presents advantages to the traditional classification approaches finding application in computer vision tasks.

  In many large-scale classification problems, classes are organized in a known hierarchy, typically represented as a tree. We introduce a loss for this type of supervised hierarchical classification. Our approach does not entail any significant additional computational cost compared with the loss of cross-entropy.

  We introduce the Random Hierarchy Model: a family of synthetic tasks inspired by the hierarchical structure of language and images. We find that deep networks learn the task by developing internal representations invariant to exchanging equivalent groups. Our results indicate how deep networks overcome the curse of dimensionality by building invariant representations.

  Firefly neural architecture descent is a general framework for progressively and dynamically growing neural networks. We show that firefly descent can flexibly grow networks both wider and deeper, and can be applied to learn accurate but resource-efficient neural architectures. In particular, it learns networks that are smaller in size but have higher average accuracy than those learned by the state-of-the-art methods.

  As datasets get larger, a natural question is if existing deep learning architectures can be extended to handle the 50+K classes thought to be perceptible by a typical human. This paper introduces a framework that automatically analyzes and configures a family of smaller deep networks as a replacement to a singular, larger network. The resulting smaller networks are highly scalable, parallel and more practical to train, and achieve higher classification accuracy.
