The Quest for Universal Master Key Filters in DS-CNNs

Zahra Babaiee, Peyman M. Kiassari, Daniela Rus +1

A recent study has proposed the "Master Key Filters Hypothesis" for convolutional neural network filters. This paper extends this hypothesis by radically constraining its scope to…

Modelling and analysis of the 8 filters from the "master key filters hypothesis" for depthwise-separable deep networks in relation to idealized receptive fields based on scale-space theory

Tony Lindeberg, Zahra Babaiee, Peyman M. Kiasari

This paper presents the results of analysing and modelling a set of 8 ``master key filters'', which have been extracted by applying a clustering approach to the receptive fields le…

Visual Graph Arena: Evaluating Visual Conceptualization of Vision and Multimodal Large Language Models

Zahra Babaiee, Peyman M. Kiasari, Daniela Rus +1

Recent advancements in multimodal large language models have driven breakthroughs in visual question answering. Yet, a critical gap persists, `conceptualization'-the ability to rec…

The Master Key Filters Hypothesis: Deep Filters Are General

Zahra Babaiee, Peyman M. Kiasari, Daniela Rus +1

This paper challenges the prevailing view that convolutional neural network (CNN) filters become increasingly specialized in deeper layers. Motivated by recent observations of clus…

Neural Echos: Depthwise Convolutional Filters Replicate Biological Receptive Fields

Zahra Babaiee, Peyman M. Kiasari, Daniela Rus +1

In this study, we present evidence suggesting that depthwise convolutional kernels are effectively replicating the structural intricacies of the biological receptive fields observe…

Pruning by Active Attention Manipulation

Zahra Babaiee, Lucas Liebenwein, Ramin Hasani +2

Filter pruning of a CNN is typically achieved by applying discrete masks on the CNN's filter weights or activation maps, post-training. Here, we present a new filter-importance-sco…
