High-dimensional data can be converted to low-dimensional codes by training a multilayer neural network with a small central layer to reconstruct high-dimensional input vectors. Gradient descent can be used for fine-tuning the weights in such "autoencoder" networks, but this works well only if the initial weights are close to a good solution. We describe an effective way of initializing the weights that allows deep autoencoder networks to learn low-dimensional codes that work much better than principal components analysis as a tool to reduce the dimensionality of data.
1
An effective weight-initialization method is described that enables deep autoencoders to learn useful low-dimensional codes.
2
Deep autoencoder–learned codes outperform principal components analysis for dimensionality reduction according to the abstract.
3
Gradient descent fine-tuning of autoencoder weights is effective only when initial weights are near a good solution.
4
Multilayer neural networks with a small central layer can convert high-dimensional data into low-dimensional codes by reconstructing inputs.
