Abstract

In this paper, we showed that the feature map of a convolution layer is equivalent to the unnormalized log posterior of a special kind of Gaussian mixture for image modeling. Then we expanded the model to drive diverse features and proposed a corresponding EM algorithm to learn the model. Learning convolution weights using this approach is efficient, guaranteed to converge, and does not need supervised information. Code is available at: https://github.com/LifanLiang/CALM.
