Deep Belief Networks vs Convolutional Neural Networks

by

Generally speaking, DBNs are generative neural networks that stack Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) . You can think of RBMs as being generative autoencoders; if you want a deep belief net you should be stacking RBMs and not plain autoencoders as Hinton and his student Yeh proved that stacking RBMs results in sigmoid belief nets. Convolutional … Read more

What is the purpose of the add_loss function in Keras?

by

I’ll try to answer the original question of why model.add_loss() is being used instead of specifying a custom loss function to model.compile(loss=…). All loss functions in Keras always take two parameters y_true and y_pred. Have a look at the definition of the various standard loss functions available in Keras, they all have these two parameters. … Read more
