Patent number: 11170301Abstract: A computer-based system trains a neural network by solving a double layer optimization problem. The system includes an input interface to receive an input to the neural network and labels of the input to the neural network; a processor to solve a double layer optimization to produce parameters of the neural network, and an output interface to output the parameters of the neural network. The double layer optimization includes an optimization of a first layer subject to an optimization of a second layer. The optimization of the first layer minimizes a difference between an output of the neural network processing the input and the labels of the input to the neural network, the optimization of the second layer minimizes a distance between a non-negative output vector of each layer and a corresponding input vector to each layer. The input vector of a current layer is a linear transformation of the non-negative output vector of the previous layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2017Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Ziming Zhang, Matthew Brand
