Equivariant vs. Invariant Layers: A Comparison of Backbone and Pooling for Point Cloud Classification

no code implementations8 Jun 2023 Ashkan Shahbazi, Abihith Kothapalli, Xinran Liu, Robert Sheng, Soheil Kolouri

Our findings reveal that: 1) complex pooling methods, such as transport-based or attention-based poolings, can significantly boost the performance of simple backbones, but the benefits diminish for more complex backbones, 2) even complex backbones can benefit from pooling layers in low data scenarios, 3) surprisingly, the choice of pooling layers can have a more significant impact on the model's performance than adjusting the width and depth of the backbone, and 4) pairwise combination of pooling layers can significantly improve the performance of a fixed backbone.
