    We introduce NEural Attention Learning (NEAL), a novel approach to enhance object detection. NEAL improves neural network attention without new structures, boosting performance on benchmark datasets.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Vision
    • Machine Learning
    • Deep Learning

    Background:

    • Visual attention is crucial for object detection in neural networks.
    • Existing methods often rely on empirical modules to enhance network attention.
    • Rethinking attention from a network learning perspective is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel method for attentive object detection from a network learning perspective.
    • To develop a method that learns attention without additional network structures.
    • To improve the performance of two-stage object detection frameworks.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed NEural Attention Learning (NEAL) approach.
    • Calculated partial derivatives of classification output w.r.t. input features during back-propagation.

  • Refined derivatives into attention response maps and used them as objective functions for end-to-end training.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully learned an attentive Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model without extra network components.
    • NEAL improved attention in both the region proposal network (RPN) and classifier.
    • Achieved mutual benefits between localization and classification.

    Conclusions:

    • NEAL advances two-stage object detection frameworks.
    • The method demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on MS COCO 2017 and Pascal VOC 2012 datasets.
    • NEAL offers an effective way to learn attention intrinsically within neural networks.
