Modern Neural Networks: the Hinton Camp

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Konstantina Palla .

Historically, neural networks with multiple hidden layers have been avoided because they are difficult to train. For example, training the networks with back-propagation yielded disappointing results, which were often worse than those obtained using shallower models. In this RCC we will present an alternative approach to training neural networks – a form of deep learning developed by Geoffrey Hinton. The main idea is to train deep generative models layer-by-layer in a greedy unsupervised fashion making use of a theoretical connection with Restrictive Boltzmann Machines (RBM’s). This network can then be augmented with an additional layer to perform classification, which gives a greatly increased performance over older training methods. We will focus on showing the need for deep models, describing practical algorithms, and unpacking some of the theoretical analogies used to justify the design choices.
