ImageNet-trained CNNs are not biased towards texture: Revisiting feature reliance through controlled suppression

Tom Burgert, Oliver Stoll, Paolo Rota +1

The hypothesis that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are inherently texture-biased has shaped much of the discourse on feature use in deep learning. We revisit this hypothesis…
