Dither is Better than Dropout for Regularising Deep Neural Networks

19 Aug 2015  ·  Andrew J. R. Simpson ·

Regularisation of deep neural networks (DNN) during training is critical to performance. By far the most popular method is known as dropout. Here, cast through the prism of signal processing theory, we compare and contrast the regularisation effects of dropout with those of dither. We illustrate some serious inherent limitations of dropout and demonstrate that dither provides a more effective regulariser.
