ARM-Net is an adaptive relation modeling network tailored for structured data, and a lightweight framework ARMOR based on ARM-Net for relational data analytics. The key idea is to model feature interactions with cross features selectively and dynamically, by first transforming the input features into exponential space, and then determining the interaction order and interaction weights adaptively for each cross feature. The authors propose a novel sparse attention mechanism to dynamically generate the interaction weights given the input tuple, so that we can explicitly model cross features of arbitrary orders with noisy features filtered selectively. Then during model inference, ARM-Net can specify the cross features being used for each prediction for higher accuracy and better interpretability.

**DenseNAS-A** is a mobile convolutional neural network discovered through the [DenseNAS](https://paperswithcode.com/method/densenas) [neural architecture search](https://paperswithcode.com/method/neural-architecture-search) method. The basic building block is MBConvs, or inverted bottleneck residuals, from the MobileNet architectures.

ARM-Net: Adaptive Relation Modeling Network for Structured Data

**Cascade R-CNN** is an object detection architecture that seeks to address problems with degrading performance with increased IoU thresholds (due to overfitting during training and inference-time mismatch between IoUs for which detector is optimal and the inputs). It is a multi-stage extension of the [R-CNN](https://paperswithcode.com/method/r-cnn), where detector stages deeper into the cascade are sequentially more selective against close false positives. The cascade of R-CNN stages are trained sequentially, using the output of one stage to train the next. This is motivated by the observation that the output IoU of a regressor is almost invariably better than the input IoU. 

Cascade R-CNN does not aim to mine hard negatives. Instead, by adjusting bounding boxes, each stage aims to find a good set of close false positives for training the next stage. When operating in this manner, a sequence of detectors adapted to increasingly higher IoUs can beat the overfitting problem, and thus be effectively trained. At inference, the same cascade procedure is applied. The progressively improved hypotheses are better matched to the increasing detector quality at each stage.
