  • Patent number: 8700552
    Abstract: Deep Neural Network (DNN) training technique embodiments are presented that train a DNN while exploiting the sparseness of non-zero hidden layer interconnection weight values. Generally, a fully connected DNN is initially trained by sweeping through a full training set a number of times. Then, for the most part, only the interconnections whose weight magnitudes exceed a minimum weight threshold are considered in further training. This minimum weight threshold can be established as a value that results in only a prescribed maximum number of interconnections being considered when setting interconnection weight values via an error back-propagation procedure during the training. It is noted that the continued DNN training tends to converge much faster than the initial training.

  • Publication number: 20140067735
    Abstract: A deep tensor neural network (DTNN) is described herein, wherein the DTNN is suitable for employment in a computer-implemented recognition/classification system. Hidden layers in the DTNN comprise at least one projection layer, which includes a first subspace of hidden units and a second subspace of hidden units. The first subspace of hidden units receives a first nonlinear projection of input data to a projection layer and generates the first set of output data based at least in part thereon, and the second subspace of hidden units receives a second nonlinear projection of the input data to the projection layer and generates the second set of output data based at least in part thereon. A tensor layer, which can converted into a conventional layer of a DNN, generates the third set of output data based upon the first set of output data and the second set of output data.

  • Publication number: 20130282634
    Abstract: A method is disclosed herein that includes an act of causing a processor to access a deep-structured, layered or hierarchical model, called a deep convex network, retained in a computer-readable medium, wherein the deep-structured model comprises a plurality of layers with weights assigned thereto. This layered model can produce the output serving as the scores to combine with transition probabilities between states in a hidden Markov model and language model scores to form a full speech recognizer. Batch-based, convex optimization is performed to learn a portion of the deep convex network's weights, rendering it appropriate for parallel computation to accomplish the training. The method can further include the act of jointly substantially optimizing the weights, the transition probabilities, and the language model scores of the deep-structured model using the optimization criterion based on a sequence rather than a set of unrelated frames.

  • Publication number: 20130212052
    Abstract: A tensor deep stacked neural (T-DSN) network for obtaining predictions for discriminative modeling problems. The T-DSN network and method use bilinear modeling with a tensor representation to map a hidden layer to the predication layer. The T-DSN network is constructed by stacking blocks of a single hidden layer tensor neural network (SHLTNN) on top of each other. The single hidden layer for each block then is separated or divided into a plurality of two or more sections. In some embodiments, the hidden layer is separated into a first hidden layer section and a second hidden layer section. These multiple sections of the hidden layer are combined using a product operator to obtain an implicit hidden layer having a single section. In some embodiments the product operator is a Khatri-Rao product. A prediction is made using the implicit hidden layer and weights, and the output prediction layer is consequently obtained.

  • Patent number: 8473430
    Abstract: Described is a technology by which a deep-structured (multiple layered) conditional random field model is trained and used for classification of sequential data. Sequential data is processed at each layer, from the lowest layer to a final (highest) layer, to output data in the form of conditional probabilities of classes given the sequential input data. Each higher layer inputs the conditional probability data and the sequential data jointly to output further probability data, and so forth, until the final layer which outputs the classification data. Also described is layer-by-layer training, supervised or unsupervised. Unsupervised training may process raw features to minimize average frame-level conditional entropy while maximizing state occupation entropy, or to minimize reconstruction error.
