Deep Belief NetworksNote This section assumes the reader has already read through Classifying MNIST digits using Logistic Regression and Multilayer Perceptron and Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM). Additionally it uses the following Theano functions and concepts : T.tanh, shared variables, basic arithmetic ops, T.grad, Random numbers, floatX. If you intend to run the code on GPU also read GPU. Note The code for this section is available for download here. Deep Belief Networks[Hinton06] showed that RBMs can be stacked and trained in a greedy manner
to form so-called Deep Belief Networks (DBN). DBNs are graphical models which
learn to extract a deep hierarchical representation of the training data.
They model the joint distribution between observed vector (1) where ![]() The principle of greedy layer-wise unsupervised training can be applied to DBNs with RBMs as the building blocks for each layer [Hinton06], [Bengio07]. The process is as follows: 1. Train the first layer as an RBM that models the raw input 2. Use that first layer to obtain a representation of the input that will
be used as data for the second layer. Two common solutions exist. This
representation can be chosen as being the mean activations
3. Train the second layer as an RBM, taking the transformed data (samples or mean activations) as training examples (for the visible layer of that RBM). 4. Iterate (2 and 3) for the desired number of layers, each time propagating upward either samples or mean values. 5. Fine-tune all the parameters of this deep architecture with respect to a proxy for the DBN log- likelihood, or with respect to a supervised training criterion (after adding extra learning machinery to convert the learned representation into supervised predictions, e.g. a linear classifier). In this tutorial, we focus on fine-tuning via supervised gradient descent.
Specifically, we use a logistic regression classifier to classify the input
Justifying Greedy-Layer Wise Pre-TrainingWhy does such an algorithm work ? Taking as example a 2-layer DBN with hidden
layers (2)
It can be shown that if we initialize both hidden layers such that
Also, notice that if we isolate the terms which depend only on Optimizing this with respect to ImplementationTo implement DBNs in Theano, we will use the class defined in the Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM) tutorial. One can also observe that the code for the DBN is very similar with the one for SdA, because both involve the principle of unsupervised layer-wise pre-training followed by supervised fine-tuning as a deep MLP. The main difference is that we use the RBM class instead of the dA class. We start off by defining the DBN class which will store the layers of the MLP, along with their associated RBMs. Since we take the viewpoint of using the RBMs to initialize an MLP, the code will reflect this by seperating as much as possible the RBMs used to initialize the network and the MLP used for classification. class DBN(object): """Deep Belief Network A deep belief network is obtained by stacking several RBMs on top of each other. The hidden layer of the RBM at layer `i` becomes the input of the RBM at layer `i+1`. The first layer RBM gets as input the input of the network, and the hidden layer of the last RBM represents the output. When used for classification, the DBN is treated as a MLP, by adding a logistic regression layer on top.

Running the CodeThe user can run the code by calling: python code/DBN.py With the default parameters, the code runs for 100 pre-training epochs with mini-batches of size 10. This corresponds to performing 500,000 unsupervised parameter updates. We use an unsupervised learning rate of 0.01, with a supervised learning rate of 0.1. The DBN itself consists of three hidden layers with 1000 units per layer. With early-stopping, this configuration achieved a minimal validation error of 1.27 with corresponding test error of 1.34 after 46 supervised epochs. On an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5560 running at 2.80GHz, using a multi-threaded MKL library (running on 4 cores), pretraining took 615 minutes with an average of 2.05 mins/(layer * epoch). Fine-tuning took only 101 minutes or approximately 2.20 mins/epoch. Hyper-parameters were selected by optimizing on the validation error. We tested
unsupervised learning rates in Tips and TricksOne way to improve the running time of your code (given that you have
sufficient memory available), is to compute the representation of the entire
