However, there are plenty of curriculum learning methods that could have been used as relevant state-of-the-art competing methods to compare with, e.g. Comparison with such competing methods is mandatory, in my opinion. I believe that the non-linearity is typically applied before the pooling operation. Even so, it is not clear why it works so well.
