Gradient flow in parameter space is equivalent to linear interpolation in output space

Gradient flow in parameter space is equivalent to linear interpolation in output space

arXiv:2408.01517v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We prove that the usual gradient flow in parameter space that underlies many training algorithms for neural networks in deep learning can be continuously deformed into an adapted gradient flow which yields (constrained) Euclidean gradient flow in output space. Moreover, if the Jacobian of the outputs with respect to the parameters is full rank (for fixed training data), then the time variable can be reparametrized so that the resulting flow is simply linear interpolation, and a global minimum can be achieved.

Siamese Transformer Networks for Few-shot Image Classification

Siamese Transformer Networks for Few-shot Image Classification

arXiv:2408.01427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humans exhibit remarkable proficiency in visual classification tasks, accurately recognizing and classifying new images with minimal examples. This ability is attributed to their capacity to focus on details and identify common features between previously seen and new images. In contrast, existing few-shot image classification methods often emphasize either global features or local features, with few studies considering the integration of both. To address this limitation, we propose a novel approach based on the Siamese Transformer Network (STN). Our method employs two parallel branch networks utilizing the pre-trained Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture to extract global and…
