• Abstract: Neural Networks require large amounts of memory and compute to process high resolution images, even when only a small part of the image is actually informative for the task at hand. We propose a method based on a differentiable Top-K operator to select the most relevant parts of the input to efficiently process high resolution images. Our method may be interfaced with any downstream neural network, is able to aggregate information from different patches in a flexible way, and allows the whole model to be trained end-to-end using backpropagation. We show results for traffic sign recognition, inter-patch relationship reasoning, and fine-grained recognition without using object/part bounding box annotations during training.

  Deep networks can learn to accurately recognize objects of a category by training on a large number of images. A meta-learning challenge known as a low-shot image recognition task comes when only a few images with annotations are available for learning a recognition model for one category. Our method, called Cascaded Feature Matching Network (CFMN), is proposed to solve this problem. Experiments for few-shot learning on two standard datasets, emphminiImageNet and Omniglot, have confirmed the effectiveness of our method.
