Training Autoencoders by Alternating Minimization
Under review as a conference paper at ICLR 2018 TRAINING AUTOENCODERS BY ALTERNATING MINI- MIZATION Anonymous authors Paper under double-blind review ABSTRACT We present DANTE, a novel method for training neural networks, in particular autoencoders, using the alternating minimization principle. DANTE provides a distinct perspective in lieu of traditional gradient-based backpropagation techniques commonly used to train deep networks. It utilizes an adaptation of quasi-convex optimization techniques to cast autoencoder training as a bi-quasi-convex optimiza- tion problem. We show that for autoencoder configurations with both differentiable (e.g. sigmoid) and non-differentiable (e.g. ReLU) activation functions, we can perform the alternations very effectively. DANTE effortlessly extends to networks with multiple hidden layers and varying network configurations. In experiments on standard datasets, autoencoders trained using the proposed method were found to be very promising and competitive to traditional backpropagation techniques, both in terms of quality of solution, as well as training speed. 1 INTRODUCTION For much of the recent march of deep learning, gradient-based backpropagation methods, e.g. Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and its variants, have been the mainstay of practitioners. The use of these methods, especially on vast amounts of data, has led to unprecedented progress in several areas of artificial intelligence. On one hand, the intense focus on these techniques has led to an intimate understanding of hardware requirements and code optimizations needed to execute these routines on large datasets in a scalable manner. Today, myriad off-the-shelf and highly optimized packages exist that can churn reasonably large datasets on GPU architectures with relatively mild human involvement and little bootstrap effort. -
Learning to Learn by Gradient Descent by Gradient Descent
Learning to learn by gradient descent by gradient descent Marcin Andrychowicz1, Misha Denil1, Sergio Gómez Colmenarejo1, Matthew W. Hoffman1, David Pfau1, Tom Schaul1, Brendan Shillingford1,2, Nando de Freitas1,2,3 1Google DeepMind 2University of Oxford 3Canadian Institute for Advanced Research [email protected] {mdenil,sergomez,mwhoffman,pfau,schaul}@google.com [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The move from hand-designed features to learned features in machine learning has been wildly successful. In spite of this, optimization algorithms are still designed by hand. In this paper we show how the design of an optimization algorithm can be cast as a learning problem, allowing the algorithm to learn to exploit structure in the problems of interest in an automatic way. Our learned algorithms, implemented by LSTMs, outperform generic, hand-designed competitors on the tasks for which they are trained, and also generalize well to new tasks with similar structure. We demonstrate this on a number of tasks, including simple convex problems, training neural networks, and styling images with neural art. 1 Introduction Frequently, tasks in machine learning can be expressed as the problem of optimizing an objective function f(✓) defined over some domain ✓ ⇥. The goal in this case is to find the minimizer 2 ✓⇤ = arg min✓ ⇥ f(✓). While any method capable of minimizing this objective function can be applied, the standard2 approach for differentiable functions is some form of gradient descent, resulting in a sequence of updates ✓ = ✓ ↵ f(✓ ) . t+1 t − tr t The performance of vanilla gradient descent, however, is hampered by the fact that it only makes use of gradients and ignores second-order information. -

However, fatalities involving vehicles equipped with ADSs are on the rise. The full potential of ADSs cannot be realized unless the robustness of state-of-the-art is improved further. This paper discusses unsolved problems and surveys the technical aspect of automated driving. Studies regarding present challenges, high- level system architectures, emerging methodologies and core functions including localization, mapping, perception, planning, and human machine interfaces, were thoroughly reviewed. Furthermore, many state- of-the-art algorithms were implemented and compared on our own platform in a real-world driving setting. The paper concludes with an overview of available datasets and tools for ADS development.

Abstract: In recent years, the use of deep learning in language models has gained much attention. Some research projects claim that they can generate text that can be interpreted as human writ- ing, enabling new possibilities in many application areas. Among the different areas related to language processing, one of the most notable in applying this type of modeling is programming languages. For years, the machine learning community has been researching this software engi- neering area, pursuing goals like applying different approaches to auto-complete, generate, fix, or evaluate code programmed by humans. Considering the increasing popularity of the deep learning- enabled language models approach, we found a lack of empirical papers that compare different deep learning architectures to create and use language models based on programming code.

Prediction Functions Linear regression: f(x) = wTx + b Linear classification (perceptron): f(x) = 1, wTx + b ≥ 0 -1, wTx + b < 0 Need to learn what w should be! Learning Parameters Goal is to learn to minimize error • Ideally: true error • Instead: training error The loss function gives the training error when using parameters w, denoted L(w). • Also called cost function • More general: objective function (in general objective could be to minimize or maximize; with loss/cost functions, we want to minimize) Learning Parameters Goal is to minimize loss function. How do we minimize a function? Let’s review some math.

1 Convolution
CS1114 Section 6: Convolution February 27th, 2013 1 Convolution Convolution is an important operation in signal and image processing. Convolution op- erates on two signals (in 1D) or two images (in 2D): you can think of one as the \input" signal (or image), and the other (called the kernel) as a “filter” on the input image, pro- ducing an output image (so convolution takes two images as input and produces a third as output). Convolution is an incredibly important concept in many areas of math and engineering (including computer vision, as we'll see later). Definition. Let's start with 1D convolution (a 1D \image," is also known as a signal, and can be represented by a regular 1D vector in Matlab). Let's call our input vector f and our kernel g, and say that f has length n, and g has length m. The convolution f ∗ g of f and g is defined as: m X (f ∗ g)(i) = g(j) · f(i − j + m=2) j=1 One way to think of this operation is that we're sliding the kernel over the input image. For each position of the kernel, we multiply the overlapping values of the kernel and image together, and add up the results. This sum of products will be the value of the output image at the point in the input image where the kernel is centered. Let's look at a simple example. Suppose our input 1D image is: f = 10 50 60 10 20 40 30 and our kernel is: g = 1=3 1=3 1=3 Let's call the output image h. -
Deep Clustering with Convolutional Autoencoders
Deep Clustering with Convolutional Autoencoders Xifeng Guo1, Xinwang Liu1, En Zhu1, and Jianping Yin2 1 College of Computer, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, 410073, China [email protected] 2 State Key Laboratory of High Performance Computing, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, 410073, China Abstract. Deep clustering utilizes deep neural networks to learn fea- ture representation that is suitable for clustering tasks. Though demon- strating promising performance in various applications, we observe that existing deep clustering algorithms either do not well take advantage of convolutional neural networks or do not considerably preserve the local structure of data generating distribution in the learned feature space. To address this issue, we propose a deep convolutional embedded clus- tering algorithm in this paper. Specifically, we develop a convolutional autoencoders structure to learn embedded features in an end-to-end way. Then, a clustering oriented loss is directly built on embedded features to jointly perform feature refinement and cluster assignment. To avoid feature space being distorted by the clustering loss, we keep the decoder remained which can preserve local structure of data in feature space. In sum, we simultaneously minimize the reconstruction loss of convolutional autoencoders and the clustering loss. The resultant optimization prob- lem can be effectively solved by mini-batch stochastic gradient descent and back-propagation. Experiments on benchmark datasets empirically validate
