Abstract

A neural network system for identifying positions of objects in an input image can include an object detector neural network, a memory interface subsystem, and an external memory. The object detector neural network is configured to, at each time step of multiple successive time steps, (i) receive a first neural network input that represents the input image and a second neural network input that identifies a first set of positions of the input image that have each been classified as showing a respective object of the set of objects, and (ii) process the first and second inputs to generate a set of output scores that each represents a respective likelihood that an object that is not one of the objects shown at any of the positions in the first set of positions is shown at a respective position of the input image that corresponds to the output score.
