Checklist USA-NA-AIO 2026 Round 1 · Task 6
Ordering CNN Feature Maps
Decide which layer of a pretrained CNN produced each of five shuffled feature maps.
The task
Problem 6 (10 points) shows an image and five feature maps taken from layers 0–4 of a pretrained convolutional neural network, presented out of order. The contestant assigns each feature map to its layer, with reasoning.
