Deep Learning: Back To The Future
Hinton NIPS 2012 Talk Slide (More Or Less)
What was hot in 1987
Neural networks
What happened in ML since 1987
Computers got faster
Larger data sets became available
What is hot 25 years later
Neural networks
… but they are informed by graphical models!
Brief History Of Machine Learning
1960s Perceptrons
1969 Minsky & Papert book
1985-1995 Neural Nets and Back Propagation
1995- Support-Vector Machines
2000- Bayesian Models
2013- Deep Networks

The Limitations Of Two Layer Networks
Many problems can’t be learned without a layer of
intermediate or hidden units.
Problem
Where does training signal come from?
Teacher specifies target outputs, not target hidden unit
activities.
If you could learn input->hidden and
hidden->output connections, you could
learn new representations!
But how do hidden units get an error signal?
Why Stop At One Hidden Layer?
E.g., vision hierarchy for recognizing handprinted text
Word
output layer
Character
hidden layer 3
Stroke
hidden layer 2
Edge
hidden layer 1
Pixel
input layer

Why Deeply Layered Networks Fail
Credit assignment problem
How is a neuron in layer 2 supposed to know what it should
output until all the neurons above it do something sensible?
How is a neuron in layer 4 supposed to know what it should
output until all the neurons below it do something sensible?
Mathematical manifestation
Error gradients get squashed as they are passed
back through a deep network
Solution
Traditional method of training
Random initial weights
Alternative
Do unsupervised learning layer by layer to get weights in a
sensible configuration for the statistics of the input.
Then when net is trained in a supervised fashion, credit
assignment will be easier.
Autoencoder Networks
Self-supervised training procedure
Given a set of input vectors (no target outputs)
Map input back to itself via a hidden layer bottleneck
How to achieve bottleneck?
Fewer neurons
Sparsity constraint
Information transmission constraint (e.g., add noise to unit, or
shut off randomly, a.k.a. dropout)
Autoencoder Combines
An Encoder And A Decoder

Note that decoders can be stacked to produce a
generative model of the domain

Boltzmann Machine
(Hinton & Sejnowski, circa 1985)
Undirected graphical model
Each node is a stochastic neuron
Potential function defined on each pair of neurons
Algorithms were developed for
doing inference for special cases
of the architecture.
E.g., Restricted Boltzmann Machine
2 layers
Completely interconnected between
layers
No connections within layer
Punch Line
Deep network can be implemented as a multilayer
restricted Boltzmann machine
Sequential layer-to-layer training procedure
Training requires probabilistic inference
Update rule: ‘contrastive divergence’
Different research groups prefer
different neural substrate, but it
doesn’t really matter if you use
deterministic neural net vs. RBM
