| dc.description.abstract | In this work, we tackle the question: Can neural networks count? More precisely, given an input image with a certain number of objects, can a neural network tell how many are there? To study this, we create a synthetic dataset consisting of black and white images with variable numbers of white triangles on a black background, oriented right-side up, down, left or right. We train a network to count the right-side up triangles; specifically, we see this as a closed-set classification problem where the class is the number of right-side up triangles in the image. These evaluations show that our networks, even in their simplest designs, are able to count a particular object in an image with a very small epsilon of approximation. We conclude that the neural networks are enforced with more complex learning capabilities than given credit for. | |
