ECE 804 Dr. Joan Bruna Estrach Signal Recovery from Scattering Convolutional Networks

Abstract: Scattering networks are a class of Convolutional Networks where the convolutional filter banks are given by complex, multiresolution wavelet families. As a result of this extra structure, they are provably stable and locally invariant signal representations, and yield stateoftheart classification results on several pattern and texture recognition problems where training examples may be limited. The reasons for such success lie on the ability to preserve discriminative information while generat
