Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for cooperative neural networks with spatial containment constraints are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes dividing a processing task into multiple sub-tasks; training multiple independent neural networks, such that at least some of the multiple sub-tasks correspond to different ones of the multiple independent neural networks; defining, via implementing constraint-based domain knowledge related to the processing task in connection with the multiple independent neural networks, a constraint loss for a given one of the multiple sub-tasks, the constraint loss being dependent on output from at least one of the other multiple sub-tasks; and effecting re-training of at least a portion of the multiple independent neural networks by incorporating the constraint loss into at least one of the multiple independent neural networks.
