Autoencoders have emerged as a useful framework for unsupervised learning of internal representations, and a wide variety of apparently conceptually disparate regularization techniques have been proposed to generate useful features. Here we extend existing denoising autoencoders to additionally inject noise before the nonlinearity, and at the hidden unit activations. We show that a wide variety of previous methods, including denoising, contractive, and sparse autoencoders, as well as dropout can be interpreted using this framework. This noise injection framework reaps practical benefits by providing a unified strategy to develop new internal representations by designing the nature of the injected noise. We show that noisy autoencoders outperform denoising autoencoders at the very task of denoising, and are competitive with other single-layer techniques on MNIST, and CIFAR-10. We also show that types of noise other than dropout improve performance in a deep network through sparsifying, decorrelating, and spreading information across representations.

At present, the vast majority of building blocks, techniques, and architectures for deep learning are based on real-valued operations and representations. However, recent work on recurrent neural networks and older fundamental theoretical analysis su ggests that complex numbers could have a richer representational capacity and could also facilitate noise-robust memory retrieval mechanisms. Despite their attractive properties and potential for opening up entirely new neural architectures, complex-valued deep neural networks have been marginalized due to the absence of the building blocks required to design such models. In this work, we provide the key atomic components for complex-valued deep neural networks and apply them to convolutional feed-forward networks and convolutional LSTMs. More precisely, we rely on complex convolutions and present algorithms for complex batch-normalization, complex weight initialization strategies for complex-valued neural nets and we use them in experiments with end-to-end training schemes. We demonstrate that such complex-valued models are competitive with their real-valued counterparts. We test deep complex models on several computer vision tasks, on music transcription using the MusicNet dataset and on Speech Spectrum Prediction using the TIMIT dataset. We achieve state-of-the-art performance on these audio-related tasks.
Synaptic plasticity is widely accepted to be the mechanism behind learning in the brains neural networks. A central question is how synapses, with access to only local information about the network, can still organize collectively and perform circuit -wide learning in an efficient manner. In single-layered and all-to-all connected neural networks, local plasticity has been shown to implement gradient-based learning on a class of cost functions that contain a term that aligns the similarity of outputs to the similarity of inputs. Whether such cost functions exist for networks with other architectures is not known. In this paper, we introduce structured and deep similarity matching cost functions, and show how they can be optimized in a gradient-based manner by neural networks with local learning rules. These networks extend Foldiaks Hebbian/Anti-Hebbian network to deep architectures and structured feedforward, lateral and feedback connections. Credit assignment problem is solved elegantly by a factorization of the dual learning objective to synapse specific local objectives. Simulations show that our networks learn meaningful features.
Deep neural networks unlocked a vast range of new applications by solving tasks of which many were previously deemed as reserved to higher human intelligence. One of the developments enabling this success was a boost in computing power provided by sp ecial purpose hardware. Further significant improvements in energy efficiency and speed require full parallelism and analog hardware, yet analogue neuron noise and its propagation, i.e. accumulation, threatens rendering such approaches inept. Here, we analyse for the first time the propagation of noise in parallel deep neural networks comprising noisy nonlinear neurons. We develop an analytical treatment for both, symmetric networks to highlight the underlying mechanisms, and networks trained with back propagation. We find that noise accumulation is generally bound, and adding additional network layers does not worsen the signal to noise ratio beyond this limit. Most importantly, noise accumulation can be suppressed entirely when neuron activation functions have a slope smaller than unity. We therefore developed the framework for noise of deep neural networks implemented in analog systems, and identify criteria allowing engineers to design noise-resilient novel neural network hardware.

The feature map obtained from the denoising autoencoder (DAE) is investigated by determining transportation dynamics of the DAE, which is a cornerstone for deep learning. Despite the rapid development in its application, deep neural networks remain a nalytically unexplained, because the feature maps are nested and parameters are not faithful. In this paper, we address the problem of the formulation of nested complex of parameters by regarding the feature map as a transport map. Even when a feature map has different dimensions between input and output, we can regard it as a transportation map by considering that both the input and output spaces are embedded in a common high-dimensional space. In addition, the trajectory is a geometric object and thus, is independent of parameterization. In this manner, transportation can be regarded as a universal character of deep neural networks. By determining and analyzing the transportation dynamics, we can understand the behavior of a deep neural network. In this paper, we investigate a fundamental case of deep neural networks: the DAE. We derive the transport map of the DAE, and reveal that the infinitely deep DAE transports mass to decrease a certain quantity, such as entropy, of the data distribution. These results though analytically simple, shed light on the correspondence between deep neural networks and the Wasserstein gradient flows.
We introduce the Genetic-Gated Networks (G2Ns), simple neural networks that combine a gate vector composed of binary genetic genes in the hidden layer(s) of networks. Our method can take both advantages of gradient-free optimization and gradient-base d optimization methods, of which the former is effective for problems with multiple local minima, while the latter can quickly find local minima. In addition, multiple chromosomes can define different models, making it easy to construct multiple models and can be effectively applied to problems that require multiple models. We show that this G2N can be applied to typical reinforcement learning algorithms to achieve a large improvement in sample efficiency and performance.
