RCN2: Residual Capsule Network V2. 2021 IEEE International Conference on Design & Test of Integrated Micro & Nano-Systems (DTS), 1–5. https://doi.org/10.1109/DTS52014.2021.9498216978-1-66542-542-1https://hdl.handle.net/1805/30578Unlike Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which works on the shift-invariance in image processing, Capsule Networks can understand hierarchical model relations in depth[1]. This aspect of Capsule Networks let them stand out even when models are enormous in size and have accuracy comparable to the CNNs, which are one-tenth of its size. The capsules in various capsule-based networks were cumbersome due to their intricate algorithm. Recent developments in the field of Capsule Networks have contributed to mitigating this problem. This paper focuses on bringing one of the Capsule Network, Residual Capsule Network (RCN) to a comparable size to modern CNNs and thus restating the importance of Capsule Networks. In this paper, Residual Capsule Network V2 (RCN2) is proposed as an efficient and finer version of RCN with a size of 1.95 M parameters and an accuracy of 85.12% for the CIFAR-10 dataset.en-USPublisher PolicyConvolutional neural networksResidual Capsule NetworkThree-dimensional displaysArticle
