Visual patterns represent the discernible regularity in the visual
\nworld. They capture the essential nature of visual objects or scenes.
\nUnderstanding and modeling visual patterns is a fundamental problem in
\nvisual recognition that has wide ranging applications. In this paper, we
\nstudy the problem of visual pattern mining and propose a novel deep neural
\nnetwork architecture called PatternNet for discovering these patterns
\nthat are both discriminative and representative. The proposed PatternNet
\nleverages the filters in the last convolution layer of a convolutional
\nneural network to find locally consistent visual patches, and by combining
\nthese filters we can effectively discover unique visual patterns.
\nIn addition, PatternNet can discover visual patterns efficiently without
\nperforming expensive image patch sampling, and this advantage provides
\nan order of magnitude speedup compared to most other approaches. We
\nevaluate the proposed PatternNet subjectively by showing randomly selected
\nvisual patterns which are discovered by our method and quantitatively
\nby performing image classification with the identified visual
\npatterns and comparing our performance with the current state-of-theart.
\nWe also directly evaluate the quality of the discovered visual patterns
\nby leveraging the identified patterns as proposed objects in an image and
\ncompare with other relevant methods. Our proposed network and procedure,
\nPatterNet, is able to outperform competing methods for the tasks
