Measured effects reported in the paper
| What was changed | Where | Measured | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| replace EM routing with variational routing uncertainty | CapsNet · SmallNORB novel azimuth | accuracy (%): 86.5 -> 91.85 | Helped |
| replace EM routing with variational routing uncertainty | CapsNet · MNIST to AffNIST | test error (%): 6.9 -> 3.46 | Helped |
| increase number of capsules in the architecture (ablation) | variational CapsNet · MNIST to AffNIST | test error (%): 5.02 -> 3.46 | Helped |
| increase number of capsules (ablation) | variational CapsNet · SmallNORB novel azimuth | accuracy (%): 89.12 -> 91.85 | Helped |
| use variational routing instead of ResNet/STN/ETN baselines with limited data | CapsNet · SVHN 10K | test error (%): 7.72 -> 7.0 | Helped |
| use more training data (10K to 20K) (ablation) | CapsNet vs baselines · SVHN | test error (%) | Mixed |
| replace entropy-based capsule activation with L2 norm activation (ablation) | variational CapsNet · SmallNORB viewpoint | error (%) | Hurt |
| vary Dirichlet prior peakedness (ablation) | variational CapsNet · SVHN 10K ELBO | ELBO tightness | Mixed |
