An Exploration Of Controlling The Content Learned By Deep Neural Networks, Liqun Yang Jul 2021

An Exploration Of Controlling The Content Learned By Deep Neural Networks, Liqun Yang

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

With the great success of the Deep Neural Network (DNN), how to get a trustworthy model attracts more and more attention. Generally, people intend to provide the raw data to the DNN directly in training. However, the entire training process is in a black box, in which the knowledge learned by the DNN is out of control. There are many risks inside. The most common one is overfitting. With the deepening of research on neural networks, additional and probably greater risks were discovered recently. The related research shows that unknown clues can hide in the training data because of the …

A Mathematical Framework On Machine Learning: Theory And Application, Bin Shi

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The dissertation addresses the research topics of machine learning outlined below. We developed the theory about traditional first-order algorithms from convex opti- mization and provide new insights in nonconvex objective functions from machine learning. Based on the theory analysis, we designed and developed new algorithms to overcome the difficulty of nonconvex objective and to accelerate the speed to obtain the desired result. In this thesis, we answer the two questions: (1) How to design a step size for gradient descent with random initialization? (2) Can we accelerate the current convex optimization algorithms and improve them into nonconvex objective? For application, …
