Local minima and plateaus pose a serious problem in learning of neural networks. We investigate the hierarchical geometric structure of the parameter space of three-layer perceptr...
This paper reports our recent exploration of the layer-by-layer learning strategy for training a multi-layer generative model of patches of speech spectrograms. The top layer of t...

We present an unusual algorithm involving classification trees-CARTwheels--where two trees are grown in opposite directions so that they are joined at their leaves. This approach ...
