Reviews: Gaussian-Based Pooling for Convolutional Neural Networks

This paper viewed the existing pooling method in a convex combination of local feature activations. Based on this model, the authors explained how the proposed Gaussian pooling is different from existing pooling methods clearly. Also, this paper proposes to modify the Gaussian distribution such that the pooling value becomes larger than mean based on the knowledge of local pooling. To the best of my knowledge, such pooling functions are novel. The quality of this paper is good.
