The thesis presents Dilated Convolution with Learnable Spacings (DCLS), a novel approach that outperforms standard and advanced convolution techniques in computer vision, audio, and speech processing. DCLS is applied to convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and hybrid architectures, achieving state-of-the-art performance in classification, semantic segmentation, and object detection tasks. The study also explores other interpolation methods, finding that Gaussian interpolation improves performance. Furthermore, DCLS is applied to spiking neural networks (SNNs), enabling synaptic delay learning for neuromorphic chips.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
DCLS is a new way of using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in computer vision and audio processing. It helps machines learn from images and sounds more accurately than before. The researchers tested DCLS on several tasks, like classifying objects or recognizing sounds, and it performed better than other methods. They also tried different ways to use DCLS and found that one method, called Gaussian interpolation, worked even better. Finally, they showed how DCLS can help create artificial intelligence that mimics the human brain.
