Modern traditional convolutional neural networks (CNN) are built to solve one specific task, which can be: detecting and localizing objects in an image, restoring a human skeletal model, classifying images, etc. However, existing business problems can be a combination of the above subtasks. The simplest way to solve this problem is to use several ready-made CNN models or to train such models, one for each subtask. But this approach leads to a strong increase in the required computing power, which can be economically costly. The approach presented in the article allows reducing computational costs by adding new blocks to the existing CNN and creating a multi-purpose model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
