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).
