Actually, it does, since the difference in performance between entry #1 and entry #2 is so huge (25% error vs 15% error!), and since this is by far the hardest

- pmelendez 14y agoSorry for disagree, but it seems more related to the fact that they are using deep convolutional learning rather than the neural network itself. If you use an ANN with the same set of features side by side with a SVM you will see very equivalent results. I will be more agree with a title like "Deep Convolutional learning overperformed traditional techniques in Object Recognition"
- jules 14y agoYeah, if you use the same raw RGB features for the SVM as the neural net then the neural net would blow the SVMs away even more utterly.
- pmelendez 14y agoNo... but I'd bet that if you use the high dimensional features resulted from the deep convolutional learning process as an input of an SVM the difference would not be that significant.
- jules 14y agoWell yeah, but then you're basically putting the meat of the NN algorithm into the SVM. I'd call the resulting algorithm a neural network with an SVM frosting. You might as well train naive bayes directly on the final nth layer of the NN instead of SVM on the (n-1)th layer, would be an almost equally weak argument for the thesis that NNs are not superior to the other algorithms on this task, since basically all the power is coming from the NN.
