Julien Mairal Biostatistics Seminar, UC Berkeley Julien Mairal Sparse Estimation and Dictionary Learning Methods 1/69 What this talk is about? Why sparsity, what for and how? Feature learning / clustering / sparse PCA; Machine learning: selecting relevant features; Signal and image processing: restoration, reconstruction; Biostatistics: you tell me.

Lundquist Abstract While deep learning has proven to be successful for various tasks in the field of computer vision, there are several limitations of deep-learning models when com- pared to human performance. Specifically, human vision is largely robust to noise and distortions, whereas deep learning performance tends to be brittle to modifi- cations of test images, including being susceptible to adversarial examples. Addi- tionally, deep-learning methods typically require very large collections of training examples for good performance on a task, whereas humans can learn to perform the same task with a much smaller number of training examples.

The goal by speech recognizers [13], [14]. Such representations are is to learn a representation able to capture high level semantic content from the signal, e.g. phoneme identities, while being desired in several tasks, such as low resource automatic speech invariant to confounding low level details in the signal such as recognition (ASR), where only a small amount of labeled the underlying pitch contour or background noise.

  • Sparse Feature Learning for Deep Belief Networks
    Sparse Feature Learning for Deep Belief Networks Marc'Aurelio Ranzato1 Y-Lan Boureau2,1 Yann LeCun1 1 Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University 2 INRIA Rocquencourt {ranzato,ylan,[email protected]} Abstract Unsupervised learning algorithms aim to discover the structure hidden in the data, and to learn representations that are more suitable as input to a supervised machine than the raw input. Many unsupervised methods are based on reconstructing the input from the representation, while constraining the representation to have cer- tain desirable properties (e.g. low dimension, sparsity, etc). Others are based on approximating density by stochastically reconstructing the input from the repre- sentation. We describe a novel and efficient algorithm to learn sparse represen- tations, and compare it theoretically and experimentally with a similar machine trained probabilistically, namely a Restricted Boltzmann Machine. We propose a simple criterion to compare and select different unsupervised machines based on the trade-off between the reconstruction error and the information content of the representation. We demonstrate this method by extracting features from a dataset of handwritten numerals, and from a dataset of natural image patches. We show that by stacking multiple levels of such machines and by training sequentially, high-order dependencies between the input observed variables can be captured. 1 Introduction One of the main purposes of unsupervised learning is to produce good representations for data, that can be used for detection, recognition, prediction, or visualization. Good representations eliminate irrelevant variabilities of the input data, while preserving the information that is useful for the ul- timate task. One cause for the recent resurgence of interest in unsupervised learning is the ability to produce deep feature hierarchies by stacking unsupervised modules on top of each other, as pro- posed by Hinton et al.

An increasing number of feature learning approaches—in particular deep-learning based—have been proposed to extract an effective feature representation by analyzing large amounts of data. However, getting an objective interpretation of their performances faces two problems: the lack of a baseline evaluation setup, which makes a strict comparison between them impossible, and the insufficiency of implementation details, which can hinder their use. In this paper, we attempt to address both issues: we firstly propose an evaluation framework allowing a rigorous comparison of features extracted by different methods, and use it to carry out extensive experiments with state-of-the-art feature learning approaches. We then provide all the codes and implementation details to make both the reproduction of the results reported in this paper and the re-use of our framework easier for other researchers.

  • Convex Multi-Task Feature Learning
    Convex Multi-Task Feature Learning Andreas Argyriou1, Theodoros Evgeniou2, and Massimiliano Pontil1 1 Department of Computer Science University College London Gower Street London WC1E 6BT UK [email protected] [email protected] 2 Technology Management and Decision Sciences INSEAD 77300 Fontainebleau France [email protected] Summary. We present a method for learning sparse representations shared across multiple tasks. This method is a generalization of the well-known single- task 1-norm regularization. It is based on a novel non-convex regularizer which controls the number of learned features common across the tasks. We prove that the method is equivalent to solving a convex optimization problem for which there is an iterative algorithm which converges to an optimal solution. The algorithm has a simple interpretation: it alternately performs a super- vised and an unsupervised step, where in the former step it learns task-speci¯c functions and in the latter step it learns common-across-tasks sparse repre- sentations for these functions. We also provide an extension of the algorithm which learns sparse nonlinear representations using kernels. We report exper- iments on simulated and real data sets which demonstrate that the proposed method can both improve the performance relative to learning each task in- dependently and lead to a few learned features common across related tasks. Our algorithm can also be used, as a special case, to simply select { not learn { a few common variables across the tasks3.

ECG signals’ morphological view show significant variation in different patients under different physical conditions. Several learning algorithms have been studied to interpret MI. However, the drawback of machine learning is the use of heuristic features with shallow feature learning architectures. To overcome this problem, a deep learning approach is used for learning features automatically, without conventional handcrafted features. This paper presents sequence modeling based on deep learning with recurrent network for ECG-rhythm signal classification. The recurrent network architecture such as a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) is proposed to automatically interpret MI via ECG signal. The performance of the proposed method is compared to the other recurrent network classifiers such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU).

    Self-Supervised Feature Learning by Learning to Spot Artifacts Simon Jenni Paolo Favaro University of Bern, Switzerland {jenni,favaro}@inf.unibe.ch Abstract We introduce a novel self-supervised learning method based on adversarial training. Our objective is to train a discriminator network to distinguish real images from im- ages with synthetic artifacts, and then to extract features from its intermediate layers that can be transferred to other data domains and tasks. To generate images with artifacts, we pre-train a high-capacity autoencoder and then we use a damage and repair strategy: First, we freeze the autoen- coder and damage the output of the encoder by randomly dropping its entries. Second, we augment the decoder with a repair network, and train it in an adversarial manner Figure 1. A mixture of real images (green border) and images with against the discriminator.
