Abstract:

This paper proposes a powerful regularization method named ShakeDrop regularization.
ShakeDrop is inspired by Shake-Shake regularization that decreases error rates by disturbing learning.
While Shake-Shake can be applied to only ResNeXt which has multiple branches, ShakeDrop can be applied to not only ResNeXt but also ResNet, and PyramidNet in a memory efficient way.
Important and interesting feature of ShakeDrop is that it strongly disturbs learning by multiplying even a negative factor to the output of a convolutional layer in the forward training pass.
ShakeDrop outperformed state-of-the-arts on CIFAR-10/100.
