ACDC: A Structured Efficient Linear Layer

2 code implementations18 Nov 2015 Marcin Moczulski, Misha Denil, Jeremy Appleyard, Nando de Freitas

Finally, this paper also provides a connection between structured linear transforms used in deep learning and the field of Fourier optics, illustrating how ACDC could in principle be implemented with lenses and diffractive elements.

Noisy Activation Functions

1 code implementation1 Mar 2016 Caglar Gulcehre, Marcin Moczulski, Misha Denil, Yoshua Bengio

Common nonlinear activation functions used in neural networks can cause training difficulties due to the saturation behavior of the activation function, which may hide dependencies that are not visible to vanilla-SGD (using first order gradients only).
