Abstract

In this paper, we study a Tikhonov-type regularization for restricted Boltzmann machines (RBM). We present two alternative formulations of the Tikhonov-type regularization which encourage an RBM to learn a smoother probability distribution. Both formulations turn out to be combinations of the widely used weight-decay and sparsity regularization. We empirically evaluate the effect of the proposed regularization schemes and show that the use of them could help extracting better discriminative features with sparser hidden activation probabilities.
