New Paper Reinterprets Image Classifiers as Multi-Instance Learners

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new paper proposes a re-evaluation of global average pooling (GAP) in image classifiers, suggesting that these models can be interpreted as multi-instance learners. The research indicates that even when an image-level prediction is incorrect, the underlying spatial class evidence is often retained and recoverable. This perspective allows for the decomposition of image-level logits into a prediction grid, offering a diagnostic tool to reveal spatial class information previously obscured by GAP. AI

    Rethinking Global Average Pooling: Your Classifier Is Secretly a Multi-Instance Learner

    Modern image classifiers widely adopt global average pooling (GAP) followed by a linear classification head. This linearity ensures that the image-level logits equal the average of logits obtained by applying the classification head pointwise to the feature grid prior to GAP. Con…
