• Abstract: Although Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have achieved promising results in image classification, they still are vulnerable to affine transformations including rotation, translation, flip and shuffle. The drawback motivates us to design a module which can alleviate the impact from different affine transformations. Thus, in this work, we introduce a more robust substitute by incorporating distribution learning techniques, focusing particularly on learning the spatial distribution information of pixels in images. To rectify the issue of non-differentiability of prior distribution learning methods that rely on traditional histograms, we adopt the Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) to formulate differentiable histograms. On this foundation, we present a novel Differentiable Arithmetic Distribution Module (DADM), which is designed to extract the intrinsic probability distributions from images. The proposed approach is able to enhance the model's robustness to affine transformations without sacrificing its feature extraction capabilities, thus bridging the gap between traditional CNNs and distribution-based learning. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach through ablation study and comparative experiments with LeNet.

  In this paper, we introduce a novel framework that for the first time develops invariant shape representation learning (ISRL) Our model ISRL is designed to jointly capture invariant features in latent shape spaces parameterized by deformable transformations. By embedding the features that are invariant with regard to target variables in different environments, our model consistently offers more accurate predictions.

  In inverse scattering proposed by Angles and Mallat, a deep neural network is trained to invert the scattering transform applied to an image. After such a network is trained, it can be used as a generative model given that we can sample from the distribution of principal components of scattering coefficients. Within this paper, two such models are explored, namely a Variational AutoEncoder and a Generative Adversarial Network.
