Finding invariant feature areas within representation vector for each meta-class/group?

I have pairs of images which are not the same class, but are from the same meta-class/group. I have a standard CNN which produces a representation for each sample. If I have several pairs of images ...

What is the best way to train a neural network with a variable number of inputs?

Suppose I have a neural network with 5 inputs: [A,B,C,D,E] There is only 1 output. The expected accuracy of the model should increase when all 5 inputs are ...

How can a neural network distinguish a rotated 6 and 9 digits?

Rotated MNIST is a popular dataset for benchmarking models equivariant to rotations on $\mathbb{R}^2$, described by $SO(2)$ group or its discrete subgroups like $\mathbb{Z}^{n}$: Group equivariant ...

When is it necessary to manually extract features to feed into the neural network rather than providing raw data?

Usually, Neural Networks uses raw data. You do not need to extract features manually. NN's can find & extract good features which is a pattern of an image, signal or any kind of data. When we ...

How do we know that the neurons of an artificial neural network start by learning small features?

I'd like to ask you how do we know that neural networks start by learning small, basic features or "parts" of the data and then use them to build up more complex features as we go through ...

What is the impact of the number of features on the prediction power of a neural network?

What is the impact of the number of features on the prediction power of an ANN model (in general)? Does an increase in the number of features mean a more powerful prediction model (for approximation ...

When is adding a feature useless?

I'm building a model, where, from a feature set A, I want to predict a target set C. I need to understand if another feature set B, together with A, can improve my model performances, instead of using ...

Feature scaling strategy for many feature with very large variation between them?

I was running into a situation in which my input feature experience a very large variation in term of magnitude. Particularly, consider feature 1 belong to group 1 and feature 2 3 4 belong to group 2, ...

When doing binary classification with neural networks, how can I order the importance of the features for a class?

I have a simple neural network for binary classification. The input features include age, sex, economic situation, illness, disability, etc. The output is simply 1 and 0. I would like to order the ...

How do neural networks weigh multiple inputs/features of different dimensionality?

I am confused about how neural networks weigh different features or inputs. Consider this example. I have 3 features/inputs: an image, a dollar amount, and a rating. However, since one feature is an ...

Which neuron represents which part of the input?

In a neural network, each neuron represents some part of the input. For example, in the case of a MNIST digit, consider the stem of the number 9. Each neuron in the NN represents some part of this ...

How to handle varying types and length of inputs in a feedforward neural network?

After learning the basics of neural networks and coding one working with the MNIST dataset, I wanted to go to the next step by making one which is able to play a game. I wanted to make it work on a ...

How to design a neural network that gets the author name of a piece of art as input?

I'm building a neural net to predict the value of a piece of art with a wide range of inputs (size, art medium, etc.) and I would like to include the author as an input as well (it is often a huge ...
