Hamiltonian Deep Neural Networks Guaranteeing Non-Vanishing Gradients by Design

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Luca Furieri, Clara Lucía Galimberti, Liang Xu

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) training can be difficult due to vanishing and exploding gradients during weight optimization through backpropagation. To address this problem, we propose a general class of Hamiltonian DNNs (H-DNNs) that stem from the discretiz ...
