Undirected graphical model:

links have no directional significance

inference(infer the states of unobserved variables) is easy

learning(adjust weights between variables to make the network more likely to generate the observed data) and generating processes are tricky

Directed graphical model:

links have a particular directionality indicated by arrows

inference is difficult

learning and generating processes are simple

Generative model: graphical model captures the causal process by which the observed data was generated, so it is also called generative model.

Boltzmann Machine:

one input layer and one hidden layer

typically binary states for every unit

stochastic (vs. deterministic)

recurrent (vs. feed-forward)

generative model (vs. discriminative): estimate the distribution of observations(say p(image)), while traditional discriminative networks only estimate the labels(say p(label|image))

RBM does not have T factor, the rest are the same as BM

one important feature of RBM is that the visible units and hidden units are conditionally independent, which will lead to a beautiful result later on:

Why BM?

Different optimization criteria in traditional networks and RBM for optimization purpose:

Traditional: Error criterion. BP method strictly goes along the gradient descent direction. Any direction that enlarge error is NOT acceptable. Easy to get stuck in local minima.

BM: associate the network with “Energy”. Simulated Annealing enables the energy to grow under certain probability.

Simulated AnnealingSimulated Annealing

Simulated Annealing for BM:

1. Create initial solution S (global states of the network)

Initialize temperature T>>1 2. Repeat until T =T-lower-bound

Repeat until thermal equilibrium is reached at the current T• Generate a random transition from S

to S’• Let E = E(S’) E(S)• if E < 0 then S = S’ • else if exp[E/T] > rand(0,1) then S = S’

Reduce temperature T according to the cooling schedule

3. Return S

1. Create initial solution S (global states of the network)

Initialize temperature T>>1 2. Repeat until T =T-lower-bound

Repeat until thermal equilibrium is reached at the current T• Generate a random transition from S

to S’• Let E = E(S’) E(S)• if E < 0 then S = S’ • else if exp[E/T] > rand(0,1) then S = S’

Reduce temperature T according to the cooling schedule

3. Return S

This term allows “thermal disturbance” which facilitate finding global minimum

Restricted Boltzmann MachineRestricted Boltzmann Machine

Two characters to define a Restricted Boltzmann Machine:

states of all the units: obtained through probability distribution.

weights of the network: obtained through training(Contrastive Divergence).

As mentioned before, the objective of RBM is to estimate the distribution of input data. And this goal is fully determined by the weights, given the input.

Energy defined for the RBM:

Distribution of visible layer of the RBM(Boltzmann Distribution):

Z is the partition function defined as the sum of over all possible configurations of {v,h}

the <.>0 denotes an average w.r.t. the data distribution

the gradient is then computed as:

the <.>∞ denotes an average w.r.t. the model distribution

Given i.i.d. samples , The objective is to maximize the average log-likelihood:

Then the update of weights, W, can be computed as:

the <.>0 term can be computed using the input samples

the <.>∞ term can be solved by MCMC but very slow and suffering from large variance of estimated gradient

Solution: Contrastive Divergence

maximizing the log probability of the data is the same as minimizing the KL divergence, (

define CD to be: where n is the small number that we run the MC

use CDn multiplied by learning rate as the update of the weights

Note: this update direction is NOT the gradient of ANY function, yet it is successful in application…

Summarized algorithm for training RBM:

1) take a training sample v, compute the probabilities of the hidden units and sample a hidden activation vector h from this probability distribution.

2) compute the expectation of vh and call this the positive gradient. (clamped phase, or positive phase)

3) From h , sample a reconstruction  v’ of the visible units, then resample the hidden activations h’ from this.

4) Compute the expectation of v’h’ and call this the negative gradient.(free phase, or negative phase)

5) Let the weight update Wij to be the positive gradient minus the negative gradient, times some learning rate.

In RBM, the previous equations then become(for calculating a particular weight between two units):

these two equations are obtained by substituting the energy function into the learning rule.

General Deep Belief NetsGeneral Deep Belief Nets

Problem with DBNs:

Since DBNs are directed graph model, given input data, the posterior of hidden units is intractable due to the “explaining away” effect.

Solution: Complementary Priors to ensure the posterior of hidden units are under the independent constraints.

Explaining Away EffectExplaining Away Effect

Brief summary for explaining away effect:

Given the observations, the posterior of associated hidden variables are actually NOT independent(the probability that one hidden variable is on or off influences the states of others), even though the hidden variables are assumed to be independent in their priors.

The reason is that we have non-independence in the likelihood term:

Posterior(non-indep) = prior(indep.) * likelihood (non-indep.)

Eliminate Explaining Away by Complementary Priors

Add extra hidden layers to create CP that has opposite correlations with the likelihood term, so (when likelihood is multiplied by the prior), posterior will become factorial

Complementary PriorsComplementary Priors

Definition of Complementary Priors:

Consider observations x and hidden variables y, for a given likelihood function P(x|y), the priors of y, P(y) is called the complementary priors of P(x|y), provided that P(x,y)=P(x|y) P(y) leads to the posteriors P(y|x) that exactly factorises.

Infinite directed model with tied weights & Complementary Priors & Gibbs sampling:

Recall that the RBMs have the property

The definition of energy function of RBM makes it proper model that has two sets of conditional independencies(complementary priors for both v and h)

Since we need to estimate the distribution of data, P(v), we can perform Gibbs sampling alternatively from P(v,h) for infinite times. This procedure is analogous to unroll the single RBM into infinite directed stacks of RBMs with tied weights(due to “complementary priors”) where each RBM takes input from the hidden layer of the lower level RBM.

Training Deep Belief NetsTraining Deep Belief Nets

Previous discussion gives an intuition of training stacks of RBMs one layer at a time.

This greedy learning algorithm is proved to be efficient in the sense of expected variance by Hinton.

First, learn all the weights tied.

Learn as a single RBM

Then freeze bottom layer and relearn all the other layers.

Then freeze bottom two layers and relearn all the other layers.

Fine-tuning Deep Belief NetsFine-tuning Deep Belief Nets

Each time we learn a new layer, the inference at the lower layers will become incorrect, but the variational bound on the log probability of the data improves, proved by Hinton.

Since the inference at lower layers becomes incorrect, Hinton uses a fine-tuning procedure to adjust the weights, called wake-sleep algorithm.

Wake-sleep algorithm:

wake phase: do a down-top pass, sample h using the recognition weight based on input v for each RBM, and then adjust the generative weight by the RBM learning rule.

sleep phase: do a top-down pass, start by a random state of h at the top layer and generate v. Then the recognition weights are modified.

Analogs for wake-sleep algorithm:

wake phase: if the reality is different with the imagination, then modify the generative weights to make what is imagined as close as the reality.

sleep phase: if the illusions produced by the concepts learned during wake phase are different with the concepts, then modify the recognition weight to make the illusions as close as the concepts.

Convolutional DBNsConvolutional DBNs

Limitations of DBNs:

unable to process high dimensional data(DBNs transform 2D images into vectors and then input them into the networks, thus certain spatial information is lost)

even if using vectors as the input instead, DBNs are unable to be scaled up properly for real image sizes. They are only suitable for small images

directly extending the DBNs to fit the high dimensional data suffers from inefficient computation(millions of weights to estimate) Advantages of CDBNs:

feature detectors are shared through all locations in an image, therefore they form the convolution kernels and reduce computation

max-pooling: shrink the representation to be translation-invariant and reduce computation

Training of CDBNs is done by optimizing the networks’ energy via sparsity regularization(imposed by max-pooling):

This yields a similar updating strategy for the weights and biases as the Contrastive Divergence.

The sparse constraints also give rise to a simple inference of the network:
