Reviews: Self-Routing Capsule Networks

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Post-rebuttal: I have considered the opinion and viewpoint of the other reviewers, who have both provided some good insight on the paper. I have also read the response of the authors very carefully, which has provided some more information. I am happy to revise my score reflecting the new evidence authors have provided. In that sense an expert is specialising in a different region of the input space, whose contributions are adjusted differently per example/input. What happens in the Dynamic Routing and EM is that the agreement between a higher level and lower level capsule is paramount for deciding if something is present in an image or which information to keep based on a voting process.
