An Attention Module for Convolutional Neural Networks

no code implementations18 Aug 2021 Zhu Baozhou, Peter Hofstee, Jinho Lee, Zaid Al-Ars

To solve the two problems together, we initially propose an attention module for convolutional neural networks by developing an AW-convolution, where the shape of attention maps matches that of the weights rather than the activations.
