Thank you for saying that. Sometimes I forget how petty and small people can be, especially when they are under pressure, academic and otherwise.

I'll take a look at submitting it to CVPR.

In the meantime, please circulate my work. It's on record, online. The more people who are aware that others have seen it, the less likely someone will try to plagiarize it.

I'm not under any kind of academic pressure, so I don't need citations, conference slots, etc. But I do deserve credit for this, don't you think?

PS. And now that you mention it, a couple of people to whom I reached out mentioned they were under deadline over the next two weeks.

PPS. Send me an email!

FYI, I reached out to two of those individuals (one is a CVPR reviewer, it turns out) and both suggested I first upload this to arXiv, so I did that yesterday. The paper is now stamped with a date, on the queue for site-wide notification. Thank you again for your feedback!

Yes, that's a good move.

Let me know when you have CIFAR-10 results, I will try to match your accuracy using the same number of parameters in a regular convnet. I actually implemented the original, vector based capsnet a while ago: https://github.com/michaelklachko/CapsNet but I haven't really explored it. Your success on CIFAR-10 would definitely provide motivation for me to do so.

Thanks. Will do (work permitting!).

FWIW, a while back I reimplemented and tinkered a bit with the Sabour et al. version too... and did not see much promise in it.

Note that the routing algorithm I've proposed generalizes to vectors (by setting the dimension of the covector space d_cov to 1).
