description | In this paper, a novel loss function is proposed to measure the correlation among different learning tasks and select useful feature components for each classification task. Firstly, the knowledge map we proposed is used for organizing the affiliation relationship between objects in natural world. Secondly, a novel loss function-orthogonality loss is proposed to make the deep features more discriminative by removing useless feature components. Furthermore, in order to prevent the extracted feature maps from being too divergent and causing over-fitting which will reduce network performance, this paper also added the orthogonal distribution regularization term to constrain the distribution of network parameters. Finally, the proposed orthogonality loss is applied in a multi-task network structure to learn more discriminative deep feature, and also to evaluate the validity of the proposed loss function.The results show that compared with the traditional deep convolutional neural network and a multi-task network without orthogonality loss, the multi -task based orthogonality loss is significantly better than the other two types of networks on image classification. |
