The paper "Network In Network" proposes a novel deep network structure to improve model discriminability for local patches within the receptive field. Conventional convolutional layers use linear filters followed by nonlinear activation functions to scan input; however, the authors argue that building micro neural networks with more complex structures can better abstract data within the receptive field. These micro neural networks are instantiated with multilayer perceptrons which are potent function approximators. Feature maps are obtained by sliding these micro networks over input in a similar manner as CNNs and then fed into the next layer. Deep NIN is implemented by stacking multiple of these structures. With enhanced local modeling via the micro network, global average pooling over feature maps in the classification layer is utilized instead of traditional fully connected layers; this approach is easier to interpret and less prone to overfitting. The authors demonstrate state-of-the-art classification performance with NIN on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 datasets and reasonable performance on SVHN and MNIST datasets. The paper's authors are Min Lin, Qiang Chen, and Shuicheng Yan.

Abstract: We propose a novel deep network structure called "Network In Network" (NIN) to enhance model discriminability for local patches within the receptive field. The conventional convolutional layer uses linear filters followed by a nonlinear activation function to scan the input. Instead, we build micro neural networks with more complex structures to abstract the data within the receptive field. We instantiate the micro neural network with a multilayer perceptron, which is a potent function approximator. The feature maps are obtained by sliding the micro networks over the input in a similar manner as CNN; they are then fed into the next layer. Deep NIN can be implemented by stacking mutiple of the above described structure. With enhanced local modeling via the micro network, we are able to utilize global average pooling over feature maps in the classification layer, which is easier to interpret and less prone to overfitting than traditional fully connected layers. We demonstrated the state-of-the-art classification performances with NIN on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100, and reasonable performances on SVHN and MNIST datasets.
