• Title: On Compression Principle and Bayesian Optimization for Neural Networks
• Authors: Michael Tetelman
• Abstract summary: We propose a compression principle that states that an optimal predictive model is the one that minimizes a total compressed message length of all data and model definition while guarantees decodability. We show that dropout can be used for a continuous dimensionality reduction that allows to find optimal network dimensions as required by the compression principle.

• Abstract: Finding methods for making generalizable predictions is a fundamental problem of machine learning. By looking into similarities between the prediction problem for unknown data and the lossless compression we have found an approach that gives a solution. In this paper we propose a compression principle that states that an optimal predictive model is the one that minimizes a total compressed message length of all data and model definition while guarantees decodability. Following the compression principle we use Bayesian approach to build probabilistic models of data and network definitions. A method to approximate Bayesian integrals using a sequence of variational approximations is implemented as an optimizer for hyper-parameters: Bayesian Stochastic Gradient Descent (BSGD). Training with BSGD is completely defined by setting only three parameters: number of epochs, the size of the dataset and the size of the minibatch, which define a learning rate and a number of iterations. We show that dropout can be used for a continuous dimensionality reduction that allows to find optimal network dimensions as required by the compression principle.

  A novel generative model framework called the structured generative model (SGM) is proposed that makes straightforward optimization possible. The implementation employs a single neural network driven by an orthonormal input to a single white noise source adapted to learn an infinite Gaussian mixture model. Preliminary results show that SGM significantly improves MINE estimation in terms of data efficiency and variance, conventional and variational Gaussian mixture models, as well as for training adversarial networks.
