6 Best Paper Award at IEEE ISM Technologies Institute (ITI), where the IDT Lab is based. This research was supported by an EU Horizon 2020 project called CRiTERIA. For Vasileios, Nikolaos, and Mariano, who also works in the IDT Lab and will graduate soon, taking home the Best Paper Award regions and penalize larger regions. Another challenge the team faced was taking information from multiple convolutional layers . “ We added more attention branches to our initial method to process feature maps from not only the last layer but the three last layers to take information from more layers of the frozen network, ” Nikolaos explains. “ To do this, we had to investigate the different components of the feature branches, and we did ablation studies to see how to construct these feature branches in the attention module. We investigated using ReLU or sigmoid activation , which has exploding gradient problems meaning it can’t process the feature maps so well. We also investigated different combinations of the feature branches to optimize them. ” CERTH is a multidisciplinary public research center in Greece. It has five institutes, including the Information
