Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Deep Learning has been gaining momentum and achieving the state-of-the-art results on many visual recognition problems. The roots of this field can be traced back to the 1940s of the 20th century. The field has recently started delivering some interesting results on many image understanding problems. This is mainly due to the availability of powerful hardware that can accelerate the training process. In addition, the growth of the Internet and imaging devices such as mobile phones and cameras has contributed to the increase in the amount of data that can be used to train neural networks. All of these factors …
