• Authors: Andre Hryniowski, Alexander Wong
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel type of analysis called Multi-Scale Class Representational Response Similarity Analysis (ClassRepSim) We show that adding STAC modules to ResNet style architectures can result in up to a 1.6% increase in top-1 accuracy. Results from ClassRepSim analysis can be used to select an effective parameterization of the STAC module resulting in competitive performance.

• Abstract: Self-attention mechanisms are commonly included in a convolutional neural networks to achieve an improved efficiency performance balance. However, adding self-attention mechanisms adds additional hyperparameters to tune for the application at hand. In this work we propose a novel type of DNN analysis called Multi-Scale Class Representational Response Similarity Analysis (ClassRepSim) which can be used to identify specific design interventions that lead to more efficient self-attention convolutional neural network architectures. Using insights grained from ClassRepSim we propose the Spatial Transformed Attention Condenser (STAC) module, a novel attention-condenser based self-attention module. We show that adding STAC modules to ResNet style architectures can result in up to a 1.6% increase in top-1 accuracy compared to vanilla ResNet models and up to a 0.5% increase in top-1 accuracy compared to SENet models on the ImageNet64x64 dataset, at the cost of up to 1.7% increase in FLOPs and 2x the number of parameters. In addition, we demonstrate that results from ClassRepSim analysis can be used to select an effective parameterization of the STAC module resulting in competitive performance compared to an extensive parameter search.
