569 9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	23 Recent theoretical and empirical work in statistical machine learning has
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	24 demonstrated the importance of learning algorithms for deep
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	25 architectures, i.e., function classes obtained by composing multiple
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	26 non-linear transformations. Self-taught learning (exploiting unlabeled
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	27 examples or examples from other distributions) has already been applied
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	28 to deep learners, but mostly to show the advantage of unlabeled
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	29 examples. Here we explore the advantage brought by {\em out-of-distribution examples}.
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	30 For this purpose we
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	31 developed a powerful generator of stochastic variations and noise
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	32 processes for character images, including not only affine transformations
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	33 but also slant, local elastic deformations, changes in thickness,
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	34 background images, grey level changes, contrast, occlusion, and various
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	35 types of noise. The out-of-distribution examples are obtained from these
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	36 highly distorted images or by including examples of object classes
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	37 different from those in the target test set.
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	38 We show that {\em deep learners benefit
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	39 more from them than a corresponding shallow learner}, at least in the area of
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	40 handwritten character recognition. In fact, we show that they reach

569 9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	49 {\bf Deep Learning} has emerged as a promising new area of research in
469 d02d288257bf redone bib style Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 467 diff changeset	50 statistical machine learning (see~\citet{Bengio-2009} for a review).
464 24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	51 Learning algorithms for deep architectures are centered on the learning
24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	52 of useful representations of data, which are better suited to the task at hand.
569 9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	53 This is in part inspired by observations of the mammalian visual cortex,
464 24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	54 which consists of a chain of processing elements, each of which is associated with a
484 9a757d565e46 reduction de taille Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 483 diff changeset	55 different representation of the raw visual input. In fact,
464 24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	56 it was found recently that the features learnt in deep architectures resemble
24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	57 those observed in the first two of these stages (in areas V1 and V2
484 9a757d565e46 reduction de taille Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 483 diff changeset	58 of visual cortex)~\citep{HonglakL2008}, and that they become more and
9a757d565e46 reduction de taille Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 483 diff changeset	59 more invariant to factors of variation (such as camera movement) in
501 5927432d8b8d - Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 500 diff changeset	60 higher layers~\citep{Goodfellow2009}.
484 9a757d565e46 reduction de taille Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 483 diff changeset	61 Learning a hierarchy of features increases the
464 24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	62 ease and practicality of developing representations that are at once
24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	63 tailored to specific tasks, yet are able to borrow statistical strength
24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	64 from other related tasks (e.g., modeling different kinds of objects). Finally, learning the
24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	65 feature representation can lead to higher-level (more abstract, more
24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	66 general) features that are more robust to unanticipated sources of
24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	67 variance extant in real data.

569 9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	69 {\bf Self-taught learning}~\citep{RainaR2007} is a paradigm that combines principles
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	70 of semi-supervised and multi-task learning: the learner can exploit examples
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	71 that are unlabeled and possibly come from a distribution different from the target
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	72 distribution, e.g., from other classes than those of interest.
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	73 It has already been shown that deep learners can clearly take advantage of
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	74 unsupervised learning and unlabeled examples~\citep{Bengio-2009,WestonJ2008-small},
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	75 but more needs to be done to explore the impact
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	76 of {\em out-of-distribution} examples and of the multi-task setting
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	77 (one exception is~\citep{CollobertR2008}, which uses a different kind
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	78 of learning algorithm). In particular the {\em relative
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	79 advantage} of deep learning for these settings has not been evaluated.
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	80 The hypothesis discussed in the conclusion is that a deep hierarchy of features
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	81 may be better able to provide sharing of statistical strength
9d01280ff1c1 commentaires de Joseph Turian Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 568 diff changeset	82 between different regions in input space or different tasks.

464 24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	85 Whereas a deep architecture can in principle be more powerful than a
24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	86 shallow one in terms of representation, depth appears to render the

24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	88 It is also only recently that successful algorithms were proposed to
24f4a8b53fcc nips2010_submission.tex Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: diff changeset	89 overcome some of these difficulties. All are based on unsupervised

502 2b35a6e5ece4 changements de Myriam Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 501 diff changeset	920 The key idea is that the lower layers of the predictor compute a hierarchy

2b35a6e5ece4 changements de Myriam Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 501 diff changeset	924 strength. Features extracted through many levels are more likely to
2b35a6e5ece4 changements de Myriam Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 501 diff changeset	925 be more abstract (as the experiments in~\citet{Goodfellow2009} suggest),

2b35a6e5ece4 changements de Myriam Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 501 diff changeset	928 Therefore, we hypothesize that both depth and unsupervised

4354c3c8f49c longer conclusion Yoshua Bengio <bengioy@iro.umontreal.ca> parents: 524 diff changeset	933 We hypothesize that this is related to the hypotheses studied
