Interpretation of ResNet by Visualization of Preferred Stimulus in Receptive Fields

2 Jun 2020  ·  Genta Kobayashi, Hayaru Shouno ·

One of the methods used in image recognition is the Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN). DCNN is a model in which the expressive power of features is greatly improved by deepening the hidden layer of CNN. The architecture of CNNs is determined based on a model of the visual cortex of mammals. There is a model called Residual Network (ResNet) that has a skip connection. ResNet is an advanced model in terms of the learning method, but it has not been interpreted from a biological viewpoint. In this research, we investigate the receptive fields of a ResNet on the classification task in ImageNet. We find that ResNet has orientation selective neurons and double opponent color neurons. In addition, we suggest that some inactive neurons in the first layer of ResNet affect the classification task.
