Abstract:
A system for training a neural network. A switch is linked to feature detectors in at least some of the layers of the neural network. For each training case, the switch randomly selectively disables each of the feature detectors in accordance with a preconfigured probability. The weights from each training case are then normalized for applying the neural network to test data.
Abstract:
A system and method for labelling aerial images. A neural network generates predicted map data. The parameters of the neural network are trained by optimizing an objective function which compensates for noise in the map images. The function compensates both omission noise and registration noise.
Abstract:
A system and method for generating training images. An existing training image is associated with a classification. The system includes an image processing module that performs color-space deformation on each pixel of the existing training image and then associates the classification to the color-space deformed training image. The technique may be applied to increase the size of a training set for training a neural network.
