Autoencoders reloaded

In Bourlard and Kamp (Biol Cybern 59(4):291-294, 1998), it was theoretically proven that autoencoders (AE) with single hidden layer (previously called "auto-associative multilayer perceptrons") were, in the best case, implementing singular value decomposit ...

Biologically plausible unsupervised learning in shallow and deep neural networks

Bernd Albert Illing

The way our brain learns to disentangle complex signals into unambiguous concepts is fascinating but remains largely unknown. There is evidence, however, that hierarchical neural representations play a key role in the cortex. This thesis investigates biolo ...

Determining 1D fast-ion velocity distribution functions from ion cyclotron emission data using deep neural networks

Ambrogio Fasoli, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz

The relationship between simulated ion cyclotron emission (ICE) signals s and the corresponding 1D velocity distribution function f(upsilon(perpendicular to)) of the fast ions triggering the ICE is modeled using a two-layer deep neural network. The network ...

Predicting optical transmission through complex scattering media from reflection patterns with deep neural networks

Demetri Psaltis, Eirini Kakkava

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are used to reconstruct transmission speckle intensity patterns from the respective reflection speckle intensity patterns generated by illuminated parafilm layers. The dependence of the reconstruction accuracy on the thickness o ...

Neural Tangent Kernel: Convergence and Generalization in Neural Networks (Invited Paper)

Clément Hongler, Franck Raymond Gabriel, Arthur Jacot

The Neural Tangent Kernel is a new way to understand the gradient descent in deep neural networks, connecting them with kernel methods. In this talk, I'll introduce this formalism and give a number of results on the Neural Tangent Kernel and explain how th ...

Disentangling feature and lazy training in deep neural networks

Matthieu Wyart, Mario Geiger, Stefano Spigler, Arthur Jacot

Two distinct limits for deep learning have been derived as the network width h -> infinity, depending on how the weights of the last layer scale with h. In the neural tangent Kernel (NTK) limit, the dynamics becomes linear in the weights and is described b ...

The Unstoppable Rise of Computational Linguistics in Deep Learning

James Henderson

In this paper, we trace the history of neural networks applied to natural language understanding tasks, and identify key contributions which the nature of language has made to the development of neural network architectures. We focus on the importance of v ...

Deep Neural Networks With Trainable Activations and Controlled Lipschitz Constant

Michaël Unser, Shayan Aziznejad, Harshit Gupta, Joaquim Gonçalves Garcia Barreto Campos

We introduce a variational framework to learn the activation functions of deep neural networks. Our aim is to increase the capacity of the network while controlling an upper-bound of the actual Lipschitz constant of the input-output relation. To that end, ...

Inverse Modelling and Predictive Inference in Continuum Mechanics: a Data-Driven Approach

Claire Marianne Charlotte Capelo

The explosive growth of machine learning in the age of data has led to a new probabilistic and data-driven approach to solving very different types of problems. In this paper we study the feasibility of using such data-driven algorithms to solve classic ph ...
