Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a broad class of computational models loosely based on biological neural networks. They encompass feedforward NNs (including "deep" NNs), convolutional NNs, recurrent NNs, etc.

Expectation Maximization and Deep Learning

Most papers define the learning as maximizing the expectation given some function. $$\max_\theta \operatorname{\mathbb E}_{p_\theta(\mathbf x)} [p_\theta(\mathbf x \mid \mathbf z)]$$ Is the expectat …

FGSM vs Gradient Descent

FGSM as described by Goodfellow et al takes the sign of the gradient of a model w.r.t. the input. And then performs gradient descent (or ascent, depending on your objective). However why not use dir …

definition of "hidden unit" in a ConvNet

I don't think either of the answers provides a clear definition, so I will attempt to answer it because I stumbled into the same problem finding a clear definition of a hidden unit in the context of a …

How to convert VAE L2 Reconstruction Loss to a Log Likelihood

I have been puzzled trying to convert MSE to Log Likelihood in VAEs. Relevant Questions: What is bits per dimension (bits/dim) exactly (in pixel CNN papers)? Why is mean squared error the cross-ent …

Ablation Study training until when?

Given that deep learning models can take weeks to train, having to train 20 different models becomes infeasible when performing an ablation study. Are there some formally accepted common practices on …

Ablation Study training until when?

There are no common practices for ablation experiments that are widely accepted by the community and this remains an open-problem at the time of writing. This is a subject I have been actively working …

How does the bottleneck z dimension affect the reconstruction loss in VAEs

I have come across few VAE papers that all report a similar metric bits/dim Many (if not all) fail to mention the bottleneck size of the z space. I do know that this would directly affect the recons …
