The back-propagation encounters the three following difficulties in the training process of deep neural networks:

Vanishing Gradient- output error fails to reach the farther back nodes Overfitting Computational Load

Data Matters

Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected.

In the related concept of overfitting, excessively complex models are affected by statistical

noise (a problem also known as the bias-variance trade-off), whereas simpler models may

capture the underlying structure better and may thus have better predictive performance.

Hoeffding’s inequalities:

Failure rate

Empirical error rate

Overfitting Solutions – Dropout & Regularization

21

50% of hidden layers, and 25% for the input layer

Rule of thumb:

Regularization:

Drop out:

Add a norm of the weights to the cost function. (l1-norm, l2-norm)

Data Augmentation is also a way to avoid overfitting; i.e., adding noise, translating data, etc.
