CNN works well on diff. datasets and tasks, but what does it learn?

  • this paper: CNN learns object detector in an unsupervised manner when trained on scene understanding tasks.
  • simplifying images: at each iteration, remove a segment which produces the smallest decrease in classification score
    • key objects remained
  • empirical reception fields: smaller(~1/2) than theoretical size
  • compared to CNN trained on Imagenet, CNN trained on scene understanding focus more on object in high level layers
    • object detector as internal representation of scene understanding?
  • AP: ranging to >90%!
