LeRaC: Learning Rate Curriculum

no code implementations18 May 2022 Florinel-Alin Croitoru, Nicolae-Catalin Ristea, Radu Tudor Ionescu, Nicu Sebe

In this work, we propose a novel curriculum learning approach termed Learning Rate Curriculum (LeRaC), which leverages the use of a different learning rate for each layer of a neural network to create a data-free curriculum during the initial training epochs.

Multimodal Multi-Head Convolutional Attention with Various Kernel Sizes for Medical Image Super-Resolution

1 code implementation8 Apr 2022 Mariana-Iuliana Georgescu, Radu Tudor Ionescu, Andreea-Iuliana Miron, Olivian Savencu, Nicolae-Catalin Ristea, Nicolae Verga, Fahad Shahbaz Khan

Our attention module uses the convolution operation to perform joint spatial-channel attention on multiple concatenated input tensors, where the kernel (receptive field) size controls the reduction rate of the spatial attention, and the number of convolutional filters controls the reduction rate of the channel attention, respectively.
