## Abstract

Global Average Pooling (GAP) \[4\] has been used previously to generate class activation for image classification tasks. The motivation behind SIMILARnet comes from the fact that the convolutional filters possess position information of the essential features and hence, combination of the feature maps could help us locate the class instances in an image. We propose a biologically inspired model that is free of differential connections and doesn't require separate training thereby reducing computation overhead. Our novel architecture generates promising results and unlike existing methods, the model is not sensitive to the input image size, thus promising wider application. Codes for the experiment and illustrations can be found at: https://github.com/brcsomnath/Advanced-GAP .

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
