Capsule neural network (CapsNet) Deep Learning
noun phrase
Definition: A neural-network architecture that replaces or augments conventional scalar-output neurons with capsules, i.e. groups of neurons designed to encode both the presence of features and their instantiation parameters, thereby better preserving hierarchical part–whole relationships [Wang et al. 2023].
Examples in context: “Besides, some recent studies [33] also utilized Capsule Neural Network (CapsNet) [34,35] to develop MI-EEG decoding models.” [Wang et al. 2023]
“In this study, an innovative approach is presented to classify the music genres using the Capsule Neural Network (CapsNet).” [Jiang et al. 2025]
Synonyms: CapsNet; capsule network
Related terms: convolutional neural network; routing-by-agreement; feature hierarchy; deep neural network
