Generalized Mean Pooling

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

Generalized Mean Pooling (GeM) computes the generalized mean of each channel in a tensor. Formally:

e = [(1/(|Ω|)∑_(u∈Ω)xᵖ_(cu))^(1/p)]_(c=1,⋯,C)

where p > 0 is a parameter. Setting this exponent as p > 1 increases the contrast of the pooled feature map and focuses on the salient features of the image. GeM is a generalization of the average pooling commonly used in classification networks (p = 1) and of spatial max-pooling layer (p = ∞).

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (6 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
