• Abstract summary: This research focuses on bringing in a novel solution that uses sophisticated optimization for enhancing both the spatial and channel components inside each layer's receptive field. We have proposed ME-CapsNet by introducing deeper convolutional layers to extract important features before passing through modules of capsule layers strategically. The deeper convolutional layer includes blocks of Squeeze-Excitation networks which use a sampling approach for reconstructing their interdependencies without much loss of important feature information.

• Abstract: Convolutional Neural Networks need the construction of informative features, which are determined by channel-wise and spatial-wise information at the network's layers. In this research, we focus on bringing in a novel solution that uses sophisticated optimization for enhancing both the spatial and channel components inside each layer's receptive field. Capsule Networks were used to understand the spatial association between features in the feature map. Standalone capsule networks have shown good results on comparatively simple datasets than on complex datasets as a result of the inordinate amount of feature information. Thus, to tackle this issue, we have proposed ME-CapsNet by introducing deeper convolutional layers to extract important features before passing through modules of capsule layers strategically to improve the performance of the network significantly. The deeper convolutional layer includes blocks of Squeeze-Excitation networks which use a stochastic sampling approach for progressively reducing the spatial size thereby dynamically recalibrating the channels by reconstructing their interdependencies without much loss of important feature information. Extensive experimentation was done using commonly used datasets demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed ME-CapsNet, which clearly outperforms various research works by achieving higher accuracy with minimal model complexity in complex datasets.

  Deep convolutional neural networks make extensive use of data augmentation techniques and layers with a high number of feature maps to embed object transformations. capsule networks are a promising solution to extend current convolutional networks and endow artificial visual perception with a process to encode more efficiently all feature affine transformations. In this paper, we investigate the efficiency of capsule networks and, pushing their capacity to the limits with an extreme architecture with barely 160K parameters, we prove that the proposed architecture is still able to achieve state-of-the-art results.
