The document discusses the 'interimage,' a state-of-the-art CNN-based backbone network that utilizes deformable convolutions and adaptive spatial aggregation, achieving high performance on the COCO dataset. It highlights advancements in architecture, including long-range dependencies and novel core operators, comparing CNNs to vision transformers (ViTs). The presentation also addresses the design and features of the deformable convolutional layer v3, along with experiments in image classification and segmentation.
