Abstract
A method of training a neural network for classifying an image into one of a plurality of classes, the method comprising: extracting, from the neural network, a plurality of subclass center vectors for each class; inputting an image into the neural network, wherein the image is associated with a predetermined class; generating, using the neural network, an embedding vector corresponding to the input image; determining a similarity score between the embedding vector and each of the plurality of subclass center vectors; updating parameters of the neural network in dependence on a plurality of the similarity scores using an objective function; extracting a plurality of updated parameters from the neural network; and updating each subclass center vector in dependence on the extracted updated parameters.
