Criticality & Deep Learning II: Momentum Renormalisation Group

31 May 2017  ·  Dan Oprisa, Peter Toth ·

Guided by critical systems found in nature we develop a novel mechanism consisting of inhomogeneous polynomial regularisation via which we can induce scale invariance in deep learning systems. Technically, we map our deep learning (DL) setup to a genuine field theory, on which we act with the Renormalisation Group (RG) in momentum space and produce the flow equations of the couplings; those are translated to constraints and consequently interpreted as "critical regularisation" conditions in the optimiser; the resulting equations hence prove to be sufficient conditions for - and serve as an elegant and simple mechanism to induce scale invariance in any deep learning setup.
