Improve the Accuracy of Neural Networks using Capsule Layers

Abstract

Neural networks are a powerful and widely used tools for various classification and segmentation tasks. Nowadays, in the field of computer vision the convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the most popular solution for many problems. The CNNs performance is looks like exceptionally great when the test images are very close to the training dataset. However if the input images are transformed, such as rotating or tilting, the efficiency of the neural network may be greatly reduced. A new kind of neural network, is called capsule network, is trying to solve this problem. In this paper we examines the efficiency of the capsule network, by trying to increase the accuracy of different networks with capsule layers.
