Improving utilization, granularity, and interpretability in visual representation learning
… probabilistic latent component analysis (PLCA) into deep convolutional neural nets (CNNs). Hence we call our method Deep PLCA. Intuitively, PLCA decomposes image data into local structures (kernels), and their spatial locations (latent components). Compared to PLCA, Deep PLCA achieves the …
