Non-Convex Multi-species Hopfield models
In this work we introduce a multi-species generalization of the Hopfield
model for associative memory, where neurons are divided into groups and both
inter-groups and intra-groups pair-wise interactions are considered, with
different intensities. Thus, this system contains two of the main ingredients
of modern Deep neural network architectures: Hebbian interactions to store
patterns of information and multiple layers coding different levels of
correlations. The model is completely solvable in the low-load regime with a
suitable generalization of the Hamilton-Jacobi technique, despite the
Hamiltonian can be a non-definite quadratic form of the magnetizations. The
family of multi-species Hopfield model includes, as special cases, the 3-layers
Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) with Gaussian hidden layer and the
Bidirectional Associative Memory (BAM) model.Comment: This is a pre-print of an article published in J. Stat. Phy
Neural Networks retrieving Boolean patterns in a sea of Gaussian ones
Restricted Boltzmann Machines are key tools in Machine Learning and are
described by the energy function of bipartite spin-glasses. From a statistical
mechanical perspective, they share the same Gibbs measure of Hopfield networks
for associative memory. In this equivalence, weights in the former play as
patterns in the latter. As Boltzmann machines usually require real weights to
be trained with gradient descent like methods, while Hopfield networks
typically store binary patterns to be able to retrieve, the investigation of a
mixed Hebbian network, equipped with both real (e.g., Gaussian) and discrete
(e.g., Boolean) patterns naturally arises. We prove that, in the challenging
regime of a high storage of real patterns, where retrieval is forbidden, an
extra load of Boolean patterns can still be retrieved, as long as the ratio
among the overall load and the network size does not exceed a critical
threshold, that turns out to be the same of the standard
Amit-Gutfreund-Sompolinsky theory. Assuming replica symmetry, we study the case
of a low load of Boolean patterns combining the stochastic stability and
Hamilton-Jacobi interpolating techniques. The result can be extended to the
high load by a non rigorous but standard replica computation argument.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figur
A Deterministic and Generalized Framework for Unsupervised Learning with Restricted Boltzmann Machines
Restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) are energy-based neural-networks which
are commonly used as the building blocks for deep architectures neural
architectures. In this work, we derive a deterministic framework for the
training, evaluation, and use of RBMs based upon the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer
(TAP) mean-field approximation of widely-connected systems with weak
interactions coming from spin-glass theory. While the TAP approach has been
extensively studied for fully-visible binary spin systems, our construction is
generalized to latent-variable models, as well as to arbitrarily distributed
real-valued spin systems with bounded support. In our numerical experiments, we
demonstrate the effective deterministic training of our proposed models and are
able to show interesting features of unsupervised learning which could not be
directly observed with sampling. Additionally, we demonstrate how to utilize
our TAP-based framework for leveraging trained RBMs as joint priors in
denoising problems
