Dynamic Routing Between Capsules is a PyTorch implementation of the Capsule Network architecture originally proposed to address limitations in traditional convolutional neural networks. Capsule networks aim to improve how neural models represent spatial hierarchies and relationships between objects within images. Instead of scalar neuron activations, capsules output vectors that encode both the presence of features and their spatial properties such as orientation or pose. The repository implements the dynamic routing algorithm between capsules, which allows lower-level features to route their outputs to higher-level structures that best represent the detected patterns. This approach enables the model to capture part-to-whole relationships in visual data more effectively than standard CNNs. The project serves primarily as a research implementation that demonstrates how capsule networks can be built and trained using modern deep learning frameworks.
