DeepTraverse: A Depth-First Search Inspired Network for Algorithmic Visual Understanding
- 模仿搜索算法的递归探索与动态校准机制
- 在多个图像分类任务中表现优于同类模型
- 适合关注可解释性与结构化推理的视觉研究者
传统视觉主干网络通过统一的操作级联构建特征,缺乏可适应、迭代优化的显式路径。本文提出DeepTraverse,一种受经典搜索算法启发的新视觉架构,使特征学习过程具备系统性剖析与自适应优化能力。其核心由递归探索模块和自适应校准模块构成:前者通过参数共享实现对有前景表征路径的逐层深入分析;后者根据全局上下文动态调整特征重要性。这种算法化交互使模型能智能构建并持续优化特征模式。在多样化的图像分类基准上,DeepTraverse展现出高度竞争力的分类准确率和强鲁棒性特征区分能力,常以相似或更大参数量超越传统模型。结果表明,引入算法先验是构建更高效、高性能且结构化视觉主干的有效策略。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Conventional vision backbones, despite their success, often construct features through a largely uniform cascade of operations, offering limited explicit pathways for adaptive, iterative refinement. This raises a compelling question: can principles from classical search algorithms instill a more algorithmic, structured, and logical processing flow within these networks, leading to representations built through more interpretable, perhaps reasoning-like decision processes? We introduce DeepTraverse, a novel vision architecture directly inspired by algorithmic search strategies, enabling it to learn features through a process of systematic elucidation and adaptive refinement distinct from conventional approaches. DeepTraverse operationalizes this via two key synergistic components: recursive exploration modules that methodically deepen feature analysis along promising representational paths with parameter sharing for efficiency, and adaptive calibration modules that dynamically adjust feature salience based on evolving global context. The resulting algorithmic interplay allows DeepTraverse to intelligently construct and refine feature patterns. Comprehensive evaluations across a diverse suite of image classification benchmarks show that DeepTraverse achieves highly competitive classification accuracy and robust feature discrimination, often outperforming conventional models with similar or larger parameter counts. Our work demonstrates that integrating such algorithmic priors provides a principled and effective strategy for building more efficient, performant, and structured vision backbones.
