Channel Attention reigns supreme as an effective technique in the field of computer vision. However, the proposed channel attention by SENet suffers from information loss in feature learning caused by the use of Global Average Pooling (GAP) to represent channels as scalars. Thus, designing effective channel attention mechanisms requires finding a solution to enhance features preservation in modeling channel inter-dependencies. In this work, we utilize Wavelet transform compression as a solution to the channel representation problem. We first test wavelet transform as an Auto-Encoder model equipped with conventional channel attention module. Next, we test wavelet transform as a standalone channel compression method. We prove that global average pooling is equivalent to the recursive approximate Haar wavelet transform. With this proof, we generalize channel attention using Wavelet compression and name it WaveNet. Implementation of our method can be embedded within existing channel attention methods with a couple of lines of code. We test our proposed method using ImageNet dataset for image classification task. Our method outperforms the baseline SENet, and achieves the state-of-the-art results. Our code implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/hady1011/WaveNet-C.

Channel and spatial attention mechanism has proven to provide an evident performance boost of deep convolution neural networks (CNNs). Most existing methods focus on one or run them parallel (series), neglecting the collaboration between the two attentions. In order to better establish the feature interaction between the two types of attention, we propose a plug-and-play attention module, which we term "CAT"-activating the Collaboration between spatial and channel Attentions based on learned Traits. Specifically, we represent traits as trainable coefficients (i.e., colla-factors) to adaptively combine contributions of different attention modules to fit different image hierarchies and tasks better. Moreover, we propose the global entropy pooling (GEP) apart from global average pooling (GAP) and global maximum pooling (GMP) operators, an effective component in suppressing noise signals by measuring the information disorder of feature maps. We introduce a three-way pooling operation into attention modules and apply the adaptive mechanism to fuse their outcomes. Extensive experiments on MS COCO, Pascal-VOC, Cifar-100, and ImageNet show that our CAT outperforms existing state-of-the-art attention mechanisms in object detection, instance segmentation, and image classification. The model and code will be released soon.

现有的多尺度解决方案会导致仅增加接受场大小的风险，同时忽略小型接受场。因此，有效构建自适应神经网络以识别各种空间尺度对象是一个具有挑战性的问题。为了解决这个问题，我们首先引入一个新的注意力维度，即除了现有的注意力维度（例如渠道，空间和分支）之外，并提出了一个新颖的选择性深度注意网络，以对称地处理各种视觉中的多尺度对象任务。具体而言，在给定神经网络的每个阶段内的块，即重新连接，输出层次功能映射共享相同的分辨率但具有不同的接收场大小。基于此结构属性，我们设计了一个舞台建筑模块，即SDA，其中包括树干分支和类似SE的注意力分支。躯干分支的块输出融合在一起，以通过注意力分支指导其深度注意力分配。根据提出的注意机制，我们可以动态选择不同的深度特征，这有助于自适应调整可变大小输入对象的接收场大小。这样，跨块信息相互作用会导致沿深度方向的远距离依赖关系。与其他多尺度方法相比，我们的SDA方法结合了从以前的块到舞台输出的多个接受场，从而提供了更广泛，更丰富的有效接收场。此外，我们的方法可以用作其他多尺度网络以及注意力网络的可插入模块，并创造为SDA- $ x $ net。它们的组合进一步扩展了有效的接受场的范围，可以实现可解释的神经网络。我们的源代码可在\ url {https://github.com/qingbeiguo/sda-xnet.git}中获得。

Deploying convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on embedded devices is difficult due to the limited memory and computation resources. The redundancy in feature maps is an important characteristic of those successful CNNs, but has rarely been investigated in neural architecture design. This paper proposes a novel Ghost module to generate more feature maps from cheap operations. Based on a set of intrinsic feature maps, we apply a series of linear transformations with cheap cost to generate many ghost feature maps that could fully reveal information underlying intrinsic features. The proposed Ghost module can be taken as a plug-and-play component to upgrade existing convolutional neural networks. Ghost bottlenecks are designed to stack Ghost modules, and then the lightweight Ghost-Net can be easily established. Experiments conducted on benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed Ghost module is an impressive alternative of convolution layers in baseline models, and our GhostNet can achieve higher recognition performance (e.g. 75.7% top-1 accuracy) than MobileNetV3 with similar computational cost on the ImageNet ILSVRC-2012 classification dataset.

由于存储器和计算资源有限，部署在移动设备上的卷积神经网络（CNNS）是困难的。我们的目标是通过利用特征图中的冗余来设计包括CPU和GPU的异构设备的高效神经网络，这很少在神经结构设计中进行了研究。对于类似CPU的设备，我们提出了一种新颖的CPU高效的Ghost（C-Ghost）模块，以生成从廉价操作的更多特征映射。基于一组内在的特征映射，我们使用廉价的成本应用一系列线性变换，以生成许多幽灵特征图，可以完全揭示内在特征的信息。所提出的C-Ghost模块可以作为即插即用组件，以升级现有的卷积神经网络。 C-Ghost瓶颈旨在堆叠C-Ghost模块，然后可以轻松建立轻量级的C-Ghostnet。我们进一步考虑GPU设备的有效网络。在建筑阶段的情况下，不涉及太多的GPU效率（例如，深度明智的卷积），我们建议利用阶段明智的特征冗余来制定GPU高效的幽灵（G-GHOST）阶段结构。舞台中的特征被分成两个部分，其中使用具有较少输出通道的原始块处理第一部分，用于生成内在特征，另一个通过利用阶段明智的冗余来生成廉价的操作。在基准测试上进行的实验证明了所提出的C-Ghost模块和G-Ghost阶段的有效性。 C-Ghostnet和G-Ghostnet分别可以分别实现CPU和GPU的准确性和延迟的最佳权衡。代码可在https://github.com/huawei-noah/cv-backbones获得。

近年来，渠道注意机制被广泛研究了改善深卷积神经网络（CNNS）性能的巨大潜力。然而，在大多数现有方法中，只有相邻卷积层的输出被馈送到注意层以计算信道权重。忽略其他卷积图层的信息。通过这些观察，提出了一种简单的策略，名为PRINGSING NET（BA-NET），以获得更好的渠道注意机制。这种设计的主要思想是通过跳过通道权重生成的跳过连接来弥合先前卷积层的输出。 BA-NET不仅可以提供更丰富的功能，可以在馈电时计算频道重量，还可以在反向轮胎时乘以参数更新的路径。综合评价表明，与准确性和速度的现有方法相比，拟议的方法实现了最先进的性能。桥梁关注提供了一种新的神经网络架构设计的透视，并显示出改善现有通道注意力机制的性能的巨大潜力。该代码可用于\ url {https://github.com/zhaoy376/表弟主持 - 机制

Since the recent success of Vision Transformers (ViTs), explorations toward transformer-style architectures have triggered the resurgence of modern ConvNets. In this work, we explore the representation ability of DNNs through the lens of interaction complexities. We empirically show that interaction complexity is an overlooked but essential indicator for visual recognition. Accordingly, a new family of efficient ConvNets, named MogaNet, is presented to pursue informative context mining in pure ConvNet-based models, with preferable complexity-performance trade-offs. In MogaNet, interactions across multiple complexities are facilitated and contextualized by leveraging two specially designed aggregation blocks in both spatial and channel interaction spaces. Extensive studies are conducted on ImageNet classification, COCO object detection, and ADE20K semantic segmentation tasks. The results demonstrate that our MogaNet establishes new state-of-the-art over other popular methods in mainstream scenarios and all model scales. Typically, the lightweight MogaNet-T achieves 80.0\% top-1 accuracy with only 1.44G FLOPs using a refined training setup on ImageNet-1K, surpassing ParC-Net-S by 1.4\% accuracy but saving 59\% (2.04G) FLOPs.

Recently, channel attention mechanism has demonstrated to offer great potential in improving the performance of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, most existing methods dedicate to developing more sophisticated attention modules for achieving better performance, which inevitably increase model complexity.To overcome the paradox of performance and complexity trade-off, this paper proposes an Efficient Channel Attention (ECA) module, which only involves a handful of parameters while bringing clear performance gain. By dissecting the channel attention module in SENet, we empirically show avoiding dimensionality reduction is important for learning channel attention, and appropriate cross-channel interaction can preserve performance while significantly decreasing model complexity. Therefore, we propose a local crosschannel interaction strategy without dimensionality reduction, which can be efficiently implemented via 1D convolution. Furthermore, we develop a method to adaptively select kernel size of 1D convolution, determining coverage of local cross-channel interaction. The proposed ECA module is efficient yet effective, e.g., the parameters and computations of our modules against backbone of ResNet50 are 80 vs. 24.37M and 4.7e-4 GFLOPs vs. 3.86 GFLOPs, respectively, and the performance boost is more than 2% in terms of Top-1 accuracy. We extensively evaluate our ECA module on image classification, object detection and instance segmentation with backbones of ResNets and MobileNetV2. The experimental results show our module is more efficient while performing favorably against its counterparts.

在本文中，我们基于任何卷积神经网络中中间注意图的弱监督生成机制，并更加直接地披露了注意模块的有效性，以充分利用其潜力。鉴于现有的神经网络配备了任意注意模块，我们介绍了一个元评论家网络，以评估主网络中注意力图的质量。由于我们设计的奖励的离散性，提出的学习方法是在强化学习环境中安排的，在此设置中，注意力参与者和经常性的批评家交替优化，以提供临时注意力表示的即时批评和修订，因此，由于深度强化的注意力学习而引起了人们的关注。 （Dreal）。它可以普遍应用于具有不同类型的注意模块的网络体系结构，并通过最大程度地提高每个单独注意模块产生的最终识别性能的相对增益来促进其表现能力，如类别和实例识别基准的广泛实验所证明的那样。

在本文中，我们通过添加Laplacian Pyramid（LP）概念来开发Laplacian类似于类似的自动编码器（LPAE），以广泛用于分析信号处理中的图像。LPAE将图像分解为近似图像和编码器部分中的详细图像，然后尝试使用两个组件在解码器部分中重建原始图像。我们使用LPAE进行分类和超分辨率领域的实验。使用详细图像和较小尺寸的近似图像作为分类网络的输入，我们的LPAE使模型更轻。此外，我们表明连接分类网络的性能仍然很高。在超分辨率区域中，我们表明解码器部分通过设置类似于LP的结构来获得高质量的重建图像。因此，LPAE通过组合自动编码器的解码器和超分辨率网络来改善原始结果。

标准卷积神经网络（CNN）设计很少专注于明确捕获各种功能以增强网络性能的重要性。相反，大多数现有方法遵循增加或调整网络深度和宽度的间接方法，这在许多情况下显着提高了计算成本。受生物视觉系统的启发，我们提出了一种多样化和自适应的卷积网络（DA $ ^ {2} $ - net），它使任何前锋CNN能够明确地捕获不同的功能，并自适应地选择并强调最具信息性的功能有效地提高网络的性能。 DA $ ^ {2} $ - NET会引入可忽略不计的计算开销，它旨在与任何CNN架构轻松集成。我们广泛地评估了基准数据集的DA $ ^ {2} $ - 网上，包括CNN架构的CNN100，SVHN和Imagenet，包括CNN100。实验结果显示DA $ ^ {2} $ - NET提供了具有非常最小的计算开销的显着性能改进。

The Non-Local Network (NLNet) presents a pioneering approach for capturing long-range dependencies, via aggregating query-specific global context to each query position. However, through a rigorous empirical analysis, we have found that the global contexts modeled by non-local network are almost the same for different query positions within an image. In this paper, we take advantage of this finding to create a simplified network based on a queryindependent formulation, which maintains the accuracy of NLNet but with significantly less computation. We further observe that this simplified design shares similar structure with Squeeze-Excitation Network (SENet). Hence we unify them into a three-step general framework for global context modeling. Within the general framework, we design a better instantiation, called the global context (GC) block, which is lightweight and can effectively model the global context. The lightweight property allows us to apply it for multiple layers in a backbone network to construct a global context network (GCNet), which generally outperforms both simplified NLNet and SENet on major benchmarks for various recognition tasks. The code and configurations are released at https://github.com/xvjiarui/GCNet.

视觉变压器由于能够捕获图像中的长期依赖性的能力而成功地应用于图像识别任务。但是，变压器与现有卷积神经网络（CNN）之间的性能和计算成本仍然存在差距。在本文中，我们旨在解决此问题，并开发一个网络，该网络不仅可以超越规范变压器，而且可以超越高性能卷积模型。我们通过利用变压器来捕获长期依赖性和CNN来建模本地特征，从而提出了一个新的基于变压器的混合网络。此外，我们将其扩展为获得一个称为CMT的模型家族，比以前的基于卷积和基于变压器的模型获得了更好的准确性和效率。特别是，我们的CMT-S在ImageNet上获得了83.5％的TOP-1精度，而在拖鞋上的拖曳率分别比现有的DEIT和EficitiveNet小14倍和2倍。拟议的CMT-S还可以很好地概括CIFAR10（99.2％），CIFAR100（91.7％），花（98.7％）以及其他具有挑战性的视觉数据集，例如可可（44.3％地图），计算成本较小。

Convolutional neural networks are built upon the convolution operation, which extracts informative features by fusing spatial and channel-wise information together within local receptive fields. In order to boost the representational power of a network, several recent approaches have shown the benefit of enhancing spatial encoding. In this work, we focus on the channel relationship and propose a novel architectural unit, which we term the "Squeezeand-Excitation" (SE) block, that adaptively recalibrates channel-wise feature responses by explicitly modelling interdependencies between channels. We demonstrate that by stacking these blocks together, we can construct SENet architectures that generalise extremely well across challenging datasets. Crucially, we find that SE blocks produce significant performance improvements for existing state-ofthe-art deep architectures at minimal additional computational cost. SENets formed the foundation of our ILSVRC 2017 classification submission which won first place and significantly reduced the top-5 error to 2.251%, achieving a ∼25% relative improvement over the winning entry of 2016.

随着深度学习（DL）的出现，超分辨率（SR）也已成为一个蓬勃发展的研究领域。然而，尽管结果有希望，但该领域仍然面临需要进一步研究的挑战，例如，允许灵活地采样，更有效的损失功能和更好的评估指标。我们根据最近的进步来回顾SR的域，并检查最新模型，例如扩散（DDPM）和基于变压器的SR模型。我们对SR中使用的当代策略进行了批判性讨论，并确定了有前途但未开发的研究方向。我们通过纳入该领域的最新发展，例如不确定性驱动的损失，小波网络，神经体系结构搜索，新颖的归一化方法和最新评估技术来补充先前的调查。我们还为整章中的模型和方法提供了几种可视化，以促进对该领域趋势的全球理解。最终，这篇综述旨在帮助研究人员推动DL应用于SR的界限。

Self-attention has the promise of improving computer vision systems due to parameter-independent scaling of receptive fields and content-dependent interactions, in contrast to parameter-dependent scaling and content-independent interactions of convolutions. Self-attention models have recently been shown to have encouraging improvements on accuracy-parameter trade-offs compared to baseline convolutional models such as ResNet-50. In this work, we aim to develop self-attention models that can outperform not just the canonical baseline models, but even the high-performing convolutional models. We propose two extensions to selfattention that, in conjunction with a more efficient implementation of self-attention, improve the speed, memory usage, and accuracy of these models. We leverage these improvements to develop a new self-attention model family, HaloNets, which reach state-of-the-art accuracies on the parameterlimited setting of the ImageNet classification benchmark. In preliminary transfer learning experiments, we find that HaloNet models outperform much larger models and have better inference performance. On harder tasks such as object detection and instance segmentation, our simple local self-attention and convolutional hybrids show improvements over very strong baselines. These results mark another step in demonstrating the efficacy of self-attention models on settings traditionally dominated by convolutional models.

多尺度视觉变压器（VIT）已成为计算机视觉任务的强大骨干，而变压器量表中的自发计算则四处w.r.r.t.输入补丁编号。因此，现有的解决方案通常采用下采样操作（例如，平均合并）对密钥/值进行大幅降低计算成本。在这项工作中，我们认为，这种过度侵略性的下采样设计并不是可逆的，不可避免地会导致信息删除，尤其是对于物体中的高频组件（例如，纹理细节）。在小波理论的驱动下，我们构建了一种新的小波视觉变压器（\ textbf {Wave-vit}），该变压器以统一的方式通过小波变换和自我发挥学习来制定可逆的下采样。该提案可以通过对钥匙/价值观进行无损的下采样，从而实现自我发挥的学习，从而促进了追求更好的效率-VS-VS-Crifacy权衡。此外，逆小波变换被利用以通过扩大的接收场来汇总局部环境来增强自我注意力输出。我们通过广泛的实验比多个视觉任务（例如，图像识别，对象检测和实例分割）来验证波动的优势。它的性能超过了具有可比的拖鞋的最先进的VIT骨干。源代码可在\ url {https://github.com/yehli/imagenetmodel}中获得。

Representing features at multiple scales is of great importance for numerous vision tasks. Recent advances in backbone convolutional neural networks (CNNs) continually demonstrate stronger multi-scale representation ability, leading to consistent performance gains on a wide range of applications. However, most existing methods represent the multi-scale features in a layerwise manner. In this paper, we propose a novel building block for CNNs, namely Res2Net, by constructing hierarchical residual-like connections within one single residual block. The Res2Net represents multi-scale features at a granular level and increases the range of receptive fields for each network layer. The proposed Res2Net block can be plugged into the state-of-the-art backbone CNN models, e.g., ResNet, ResNeXt, and DLA. We evaluate the Res2Net block on all these models and demonstrate consistent performance gains over baseline models on widely-used datasets, e.g., CIFAR-100 and ImageNet. Further ablation studies and experimental results on representative computer vision tasks, i.e., object detection, class activation mapping, and salient object detection, further verify the superiority of the Res2Net over the state-of-the-art baseline methods. The source code and trained models are available on https://mmcheng.net/res2net/.
