1. Motivation

Motivation

• Feature learning• Supervised learning

• Need large number of labeled data• Unsupervised learning

• Example: Build face detector without having labeled face images

• Building high-level features using unlabeled data.

Motivation

• Previous works• Auto encoder• Sparse coding

• Result: Only learns low level features• Reason: Computational constraints• Approach

• Dataset• Model• Computational resources 5

2. Approach

6

Sparse Deep Auto-encoder

• Auto-encoder• Neural network• Unsupervised learning• Back-propagation

7

Sparse Deep Auto-encoder (cnt’d)• Sparse Coding• Input: Images x(1), x(2) ... x(m) • Learn: Bases (features) f1, f2, ..., fk, so that each

input x can be approximately decomposed as: x=∑ajfj s.t. aj’s are mostly zero (“sparse”)

Sparse Deep Auto-encoder (cnt’d)• Sparse Deep Auto-encoder

• Multiple hidden layers to achieve particular characteristic in learning features

11

Local Receptive Field

• Definition: Each feature in the autoencoder can connect only to a small region of the lower layer

• Goal: • Learn feature efficiently• Parallelism

• Training on small image patches

12

L2 Pooling

• Goal: Robust to local distortion• Approach: Group similar features together to

achieve invariance

3. Parallelism

23

Asynchronous SGD

Two recent lines of research in speeding up large learning problems:• Parallel/distributed computing• Online (and mini-batch) learning algorithms: stochastic gradient descent, perceptron, MIRA, stepwise EMHow can we bring together the benefits of parallel computing and online learning? 24

Asynchronous SGD

SGD: Stochastic Gradient Descent:• Choose an initial vector of parameters W and

learning rate α• Repeat until an approximate minimum is

obtained:• Randomly shuffle examples in the training set
