Deeplearning：三十七(Deep learning中的优化方法)

 

　　内容：

　　本文主要是参考论文：On optimization methods for deeplearning，文章内容主要是笔记SGD（随机梯度下降），LBFGS（受限的BFGS），CG（共轭梯度法）三种常见优化算法的在deeplearning体系中的性能。下面是一些读完的笔记。

　　SGD优点：实现简单，当训练样本足够多时优化速度非常快。

　　SGD缺点：需要人为调整很多参数，比如学习率，收敛准则等。另外，它是序列的方法，不利于GPU并行或分布式处理。

　　各种deep learning中常见方法（比如说Autoencoder，RBM，DBN，ICA，Sparsecoding）的区别是：目标函数形式不同。这其实才是最本质的区别，由于目标函数的不同导致了对其优化的方法也可能会不同，比如说RBM中目标函数跟网络能量有关，采用CD优化的，而Autoencoder目标函数为理论输出和实际输出的MSE，由于此时的目标函数的偏导可以直接被计算，所以可以用LBFGS，CG等方法优化，其它的类似。所以不能单从网络的结构来判断其属于Deeplearning中的哪种方法，比如说我单独给定64-100的2层网络，你就无法知道它属于deeplearning中的哪一种方法，因为这个网络既可以用RBM也可以用Autoencoder来训练。

　　作者通过实验得出的结论是：不同的优化算法有不同的优缺点，适合不同的场合，比如LBFGS算法在参数的维度比较低（一般指小于10000维）时的效果要比SGD（随机梯度下降）和CG（共轭梯度下降）效果好，特别是带有convolution的模型。而针对高维的参数问题，CG的效果要比另2种好。也就是说一般情况下，SGD的效果要差一些，这种情况在使用GPU加速时情况一样，即在GPU上使用LBFGS和CG时，优化速度明显加快，而SGD算法优化速度提高很小。在单核处理器上，LBFGS的优势主要是利用参数之间的2阶近视特性来加速优化，而CG则得得益于参数之间的共轭信息，需要计算器Hessian矩阵。

　　不过当使用一个大的minibatch且采用线搜索的话，SGD的优化性能也会提高。

　　在单核上比较SGD，LBFGS，CG三种算法的优化性能，当针对Autoencoder模型。结果如下：

 　　

　　可以看出，SGD效果最差。

　　同样的情况下，训练的是Sparse autoencoder模型的比较情况如下：

 　　

　　这时SGD的效果更差。这主要原因是LBFGS和CG能够使用大的minibatch数据来估算每个节点的期望激发值，这个值是可以用来约束该节点的稀疏特性的，而SGD需要去估计噪声信息。

　　当然了作者还有在GUP，convolution上也做了不少实验。

　　最后，作者训练了一个2隐含层（这2层不算pooling层）的Sparseautocoder网络，并应用于MNIST上，其识别率结果如下：

 　　

　　作者网站上给出了一些code，见deepautoencoder with L-BFGS。看着标题本以为code会实现deep convolutionautoencoderpre-training和fine-tuning的，因为作者paper里面用的是convolution，阅读完code后发现其实现就是一个普通二层的autoencoder。看来还是得到前面博文第二个问题的答案：Deeplearning：三十六(关于构建深度卷积SAE网络的一点困惑)。
