Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Due to its inter-class similarity and intra-class variation, Fine-Grained Image Classification (FGIC) is an intrinsically difficult task. Most of the current studies solve this problem by localizing important local regions and then learning region-based features. Such methods, however, still face the issue of loss of information or high computational expenses. In this work, we concentrate on reinforcing the correspondence of the deep neural network to attention regions instead of part localization. We propose a new end-to-end optimization method called Multi-Task Attention Learning (MTAL) that can be implemented with the Soft Mask (SM) module and the Hard Crop (HC) module,which are two separate types of attention-generation modules. Experimental results on CUB-Birds and Stanford Cars show that, despite its simplicity, our procedure performs better than the baselines and is comparable to state-of-the-art studies.
