               Bilinear CNN (B-CNN) for Fine-grained recognition


DESCRIPTIONS
    After getting the deep descriptors of an image, bilinear pooling computes
    the sum of the outer product of those deep descriptors. Bilinear pooling
    captures all pairwise descriptor interactions, i.e., interactions of
    different part, in a translational invariant manner.

    B-CNN provides richer representations than linear models, and B-CNN achieves
    better performance than part-based fine-grained models with no need for
    further part annotation.

USAGE
    Step 1. Fine-tune the fc layer only. It gives 76.77% test set accuracy.
    $ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 ./src/bilinear_cnn_fc.py --base_lr 1.0 \
          --batch_size 64 --epochs 55 --weight_decay 1e-8 \
          | tee "[fc-] base_lr_1.0-weight_decay_1e-8-epoch_.log"

    Step 2. Fine-tune all layers. It gives 84.17% test set accuracy.
    $ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 ./src/bilinear_cnn_all.py --base_lr 1e-2 \
          --batch_size 64 --epochs 25 --weight_decay 1e-5 \
          --model "model.pth" \
          | tee "[all-] base_lr_1e-2-weight_decay_1e-5-epoch_.log"
