Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We provide extensive empirical evidence showing that networks supplied with the OOCS edge representation gain accuracy and illumination-robustness compared to standard deep models.
Researcher Affiliation Academia 1CPS, TU Wien 2CSAIL, MIT 3IST Austria.
Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Building and Training OOCS networks
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide a direct link to open-source code or explicitly state that the code for the described methodology is available.
Open Datasets Yes We used a subset of the Imagenet (Deng et al., 2009). We used the Norb dataset (Le Cun et al., 2004) to assess the robustness of our proposed OOCS-CNN architecture. We used the MNIST dataset (Le Cun & Cortes, 2010) to train our networks.
Dataset Splits Yes From these samples, we used 500 of each class for the training set, and 50 for each of the validation and test sets.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not explicitly describe the specific hardware used (e.g., GPU models, CPU types) for running its experiments, only mentioning implementation in TensorFlow.
Software Dependencies Yes We implemented all models in Tensor Flow 2.3 (Abadi et al., 2016), and used Adam for optimization (Diederik & Ba, 2015)
Experiment Setup Yes We used Adam for optimization (Diederik & Ba, 2015) with a learning rate of 10^-4. All convolutional layers have 3x3 kernels and strides of 1. The max-pooling layers have 2x2 kernels and strides of 2. Dropouts (Srivastava et al., 2014) follow the fully connected layers, and the last layer predicts the category with a softmax function.
