HYPER-CLASS AUGMENTED AND REGULARIZED DEEP LEARNING FOR FINE-GRAINED IMAGE CLASSIFICATION

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for training a learning machine by augmenting data from fine-grained image recognition with labeled data annotated by one or more hyper-classes, performing multi-task deep learning; allowing fine-grained classification and hyper-class classification to share and learn the same feature layers; and applying regularization in the multi-task deep learning to exploit one or more relationships between the fine-grained classes and the hyper-classes.
