VARIABLE INPUT SIZE TECHNIQUES FOR NEURAL NETWORKS

Abstract:

A neural network, trained on a plurality of random size data samples, can receive a plurality of inference data samples including samples of different sizes. The neural network can generate feature maps of the plurality of inference data samples. Pooling can be utilized to generate feature maps having a fixed size. The fixed size feature maps can be utilized to generate an indication of a class for each of the plurality of inference data samples.
