  • Hierarchical Multiscale Recurrent Neural Networks
    Published as a conference paper at ICLR 2017 HIERARCHICAL MULTISCALE RECURRENT NEURAL NETWORKS Junyoung Chung, Sungjin Ahn & Yoshua Bengio ∗ Département d’informatique et de recherche opérationnelle Université de Montréal {junyoung.chung,sungjin.ahn,yoshua.bengio}@umontreal.ca ABSTRACT Learning both hierarchical and temporal representation has been among the long- standing challenges of recurrent neural networks. Multiscale recurrent neural networks have been considered as a promising approach to resolve this issue, yet there has been a lack of empirical evidence showing that this type of models can actually capture the temporal dependencies by discovering the latent hierarchical structure of the sequence. In this paper, we propose a novel multiscale approach, called the hierarchical multiscale recurrent neural network, that can capture the latent hierarchical structure in the sequence by encoding the temporal dependencies with different timescales using a novel update mechanism. We show some evidence that the proposed model can discover underlying hierarchical structure in the sequences without using explicit boundary information. We evaluate our proposed model on character-level language modelling and handwriting sequence generation. 1 INTRODUCTION One of the key principles of learning in deep neural networks as well as in the human brain is to obtain a hierarchical representation with increasing levels of abstraction (Bengio, 2009; LeCun et al., 2015; Schmidhuber, 2015). A stack of representation layers, learned from the data in a way to optimize the target task, make deep neural networks entertain advantages such as generalization to unseen examples (Hoffman et al., 2013), sharing learned knowledge among multiple tasks, and discovering disentangling factors of variation (Kingma & Welling, 2013).

  • Generalized Denoising Auto-Encoders As Generative Models
    Generalized Denoising Auto-Encoders as Generative Models Yoshua Bengio, Li Yao, Guillaume Alain, and Pascal Vincent Departement´ d’informatique et recherche operationnelle,´ Universite´ de Montreal´ Abstract Recent work has shown how denoising and contractive autoencoders implicitly capture the structure of the data-generating density, in the case where the cor- ruption noise is Gaussian, the reconstruction error is the squared error, and the data is continuous-valued. This has led to various proposals for sampling from this implicitly learned density function, using Langevin and Metropolis-Hastings MCMC. However, it remained unclear how to connect the training procedure of regularized auto-encoders to the implicit estimation of the underlying data- generating distribution when the data are discrete, or using other forms of corrup- tion process and reconstruction errors. Another issue is the mathematical justifi- cation which is only valid in the limit of small corruption noise. We propose here a different attack on the problem, which deals with all these issues: arbitrary (but noisy enough) corruption, arbitrary reconstruction loss (seen as a log-likelihood), handling both discrete and continuous-valued variables, and removing the bias due to non-infinitesimal corruption noise (or non-infinitesimal contractive penalty). 1 Introduction Auto-encoders learn an encoder function from input to representation and a decoder function back from representation to input space, such that the reconstruction (composition of encoder and de- coder) is good for training examples. Regularized auto-encoders also involve some form of regu- larization that prevents the auto-encoder from simply learning the identity function, so that recon- struction error will be low at training examples (and hopefully at test examples) but high in general.

  • Extracting and Composing Robust Features with Denoising Autoencoders
    Extracting and Composing Robust Features with Denoising Autoencoders Pascal Vincent, Hugo Larochelle, Yoshua Bengio, Pierre-Antoine Manzagol Dept. IRO, Universit´ede Montr´eal C.P. 6128, Montreal, Qc, H3C 3J7, Canada http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/∼lisa Technical Report 1316, February 2008 Abstract Previous work has shown that the difficulties in learning deep genera- tive or discriminative models can be overcome by an initial unsupervised learning step that maps inputs to useful intermediate representations. We introduce and motivate a new training principle for unsupervised learning of a representation based on the idea of making the learned representa- tions robust to partial corruption of the input pattern. This approach can be used to train autoencoders, and these denoising autoencoders can be stacked to initialize deep architectures. The algorithm can be motivated from a manifold learning and information theoretic perspective or from a generative model perspective. Comparative experiments clearly show the surprising advantage of corrupting the input of autoencoders on a pattern classification benchmark suite. 1 Introduction Recent theoretical studies indicate that deep architectures (Bengio & Le Cun, 2007; Bengio, 2007) may be needed to efficiently model complex distributions and achieve better generalization performance on challenging recognition tasks. The belief that additional levels of functional composition will yield increased representational and modeling power is not new (McClelland et al., 1986; Hin- ton, 1989; Utgoff & Stracuzzi, 2002). However, in practice, learning in deep architectures has proven to be difficult. One needs only to ponder the diffi- cult problem of inference in deep directed graphical models, due to “explaining away”. Also looking back at the history of multi-layer neural networks, their difficult optimization (Bengio et al., 2007; Bengio, 2007) has long prevented reaping the expected benefits of going beyond one or two hidden layers.
