• Abstract summary: Noise Injection Node Regularization (NINR) is a method of injecting structured noise into Deep Neural Networks (DNN) during the training stage, resulting in an emergent regularizing effect. We present theoretical and empirical evidence for substantial improvement in robustness against various test data perturbations for feed-forward DNNs when trained under NINR.

• Abstract: We introduce Noise Injection Node Regularization (NINR), a method of injecting structured noise into Deep Neural Networks (DNN) during the training stage, resulting in an emergent regularizing effect. We present theoretical and empirical evidence for substantial improvement in robustness against various test data perturbations for feed-forward DNNs when trained under NINR. The novelty in our approach comes from the interplay of adaptive noise injection and initialization conditions such that noise is the dominant driver of dynamics at the start of training. As it simply requires the addition of external nodes without altering the existing network structure or optimization algorithms, this method can be easily incorporated into many standard problem specifications. We find improved stability against a number of data perturbations, including domain shifts, with the most dramatic improvement obtained for unstructured noise, where our technique outperforms other existing methods such as Dropout or $L_2$ regularization, in some cases. We further show that desirable generalization properties on clean data are generally maintained.

  Pseudo-label noise is mainly contained in unstable samples in which predictions of most pixels undergo significant variations during self-training. We introduce the Stable Neighbor Denoising (SND) approach, which effectively discovers highly correlated stable and unstable samples. SND consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in various SFUDA semantic segmentation settings.

  We propose a new method to probe the learning mechanism of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) by perturbing the system using Noise Injection Nodes (NINs) We find that the system displays distinct phases during training, dictated by the scale of injected noise. In some cases, the evolution of the noise nodes is similar to that of the unperturbed loss, thus indicating the possibility of using NINs to learn more about the full system in the future.

  We study recurrent neural networks (RNNs) trained by injecting noise into hidden states as discretizations of differential equations driven by input data. We find that, under reasonable assumptions, this implicit regularization promotes flatter minima; it biases towards models with more stable dynamics; and, in classification tasks, it favors models with larger classification margin. Our theory is supported by empirical results which demonstrate improved robustness with respect to various input perturbations, while maintaining state-of-the-art performance.
