Abstract

The use of cloud-assisted training for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with few parameters can enable their deployment on resource-constrained IoT devices. However, existing models with few parameters suffer from insufficient ability to extract complex data features and poor robustness. This article proposes a CNN design method that is adaptable to complex data and has strong robustness, called the Combined Non-linearity Convolution Kernel Generation (CN2Conv) . Firstly, randomly select some convolution kernels from the convolutional layers of the CNN model as seed convolution kernels, and use multiple generation functions to perform nonlinear transformations on the seed convolution kernels to obtain diverse generation convolution kernels. Secondly, the different generation functions use different hyperparameters to control the regularization effect of the model and improve its robustness. Finally, using the feature maps generated by the convolutional kernels to perform channel shuffling and convolutional dimensionality reduction operations, while using group normalization techniques to improve the distribution consistency of features and enhance the ability to capture complex data features. In order to verify the effectiveness of CN2Conv, carried out several experiments on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, CIFAR-10-C and Icons-50 datasets. On the CIFAR-10-C dataset, the accuracy of ResNet34 using CN2Conv is 8.22% higher than the standard ResNet34, and 11.86% higher than MonoCNN. The results show that the accuracy of the CNN model based on CN2Conv is better than the comparison method on multiple datasets, and the robustness is significantly improved.
