To further enhance the performance of the current convolutional neural network, an improved deep convolutional neural network model is shown in this paper. Different from the traditional network structure, in our proposed method the pooling layer is replaced by two continuous convolutional layers with 3 × 3 convolution kernel between which a dropout layer is added to reduce overfitting, and cross entropy kernel is used as loss function. Experimental results on Mnist and Cifar-10 data sets for image classification show that, compared to several classical neural networks such as Alexnet, VGGNet and GoogleNet, the improved network achieve better performance in learning efficiency and recognition accuracy at relatively shallow network depths.
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.
