Variational Dropout and the Local Reparameterization Trick
We investigate a local reparameterizaton technique for greatly reducing the variance of stochastic gradients for variational Bayesian inference (SGVB) of a posterior over model parameters, while retaining parallelizability. This local reparameterization translates uncertainty about global parameters into local noise that is independent across datapoints in the minibatch. Such parameterizations ...
متن کاملVariational Dropout and the Local Reparameterization Trick
We explore an as yet unexploited opportunity for drastically improving the efficiency of stochastic gradient variational Bayes (SGVB) with global model parameters. Regular SGVB estimators rely on sampling of parameters once per minibatch of data, and have variance that is constant w.r.t. the minibatch size. The efficiency of such estimators can be drastically improved upon by translating uncert...
متن کاملUnderstanding Dropout
Dropout is a relatively new algorithm for training neural networks which relies on stochastically “dropping out” neurons during training in order to avoid the co-adaptation of feature detectors. We introduce a general formalism for studying dropout on either units or connections, with arbitrary probability values, and use it to analyze the averaging and regularizing properties of dropout in bot...
متن کاملUnderstanding Prior Dropout in Psychotherapy
Little is known about clients who, although in need of a treatment and having the opportunity to take treatment, do not start it. To explore this topic, we conducted a retrospective study comparing 37 prior dropouts with 28 clients who underwent treatment (family therapy). Results showed that prior dropout clients presented symptoms for a longer period, attended previous family therapy and prev...
متن کاملDropout as data augmentation
Dropout is typically interpreted as bagging a large number of models sharing parameters. We show that using dropout in a network can also be interpreted as a kind of data augmentation in the input space without domain knowledge. We present an approach to projecting the dropout noise within a network back into the input space, thereby generating augmented versions of the training data, and we sh...
