The restricted Boltzmann machine is a network of stochastic units with undirected interactions between pairs of visible and hidden units. This model was popularized as a building block of deep learning architectures and has continued to…

We present a mathematical construction for the restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) that doesn't require specifying the number of hidden units. In fact, the hidden layer size is adaptive and can grow during training. This is obtained by first…

The restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) is a two-layer energy-based model that uses its hidden-visible connections to learn the underlying distribution of visible units, whose interactions are often complicated by high-order correlations.…

One of the central challenges in modern machine learning is understanding how neural networks generalize knowledge learned from training data to unseen test data. While numerous empirical techniques have been proposed to improve…

We consider restricted Boltzmann machines with a binary visible layer and a Gaussian hidden layer trained by an unlabelled dataset composed of noisy realizations of a single ground pattern. We develop a statistical mechanics framework to…

Revealing hidden features in unlabeled data is called unsupervised feature learning, which plays an important role in pretraining a deep neural network. Here we provide a statistical mechanics analysis of the unsupervised learning in a…

We investigate the thermodynamic properties of a Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM), a simple energy-based generative model used in the context of unsupervised learning. Assuming the information content of this model to be mainly reflected…

Restricted Boltzmann machines are energy models made of a visible and a hidden layer. We identify an effective energy function describing the zero-temperature landscape on the visible units and depending only on the tail behaviour of the…

Restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) constitute one of the main models for machine statistical inference and they are widely employed in Artificial Intelligence as powerful tools for (deep) learning. However, in contrast with countless…

The restricted Boltzmann machine is a basic machine learning tool able, in principle, to model the distribution of some arbitrary dataset. Its standard training procedure appears however delicate and obscure in many respects. We bring some…

The Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM), an important tool used in machine learning in particular for unsupervized learning tasks, is investigated from the perspective of its spectral properties. Starting from empirical observations, we…

In this paper, we investigate the feature encoding process in a prototypical energy-based generative model, the Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM). We start with an analytical investigation using simplified architectures and data…

A Boltzmann machine is a stochastic neural network that has been extensively used in the layers of deep architectures for modern machine learning applications. In this paper, we develop a Boltzmann machine that is capable of modelling…

We review Boltzmann machines and energy-based models. A Boltzmann machine defines a probability distribution over binary-valued patterns. One can learn parameters of a Boltzmann machine via gradient based approaches in a way that log…

Restricted Boltzmann Machines are generative models that consist of a layer of hidden variables connected to another layer of visible units, and they are used to model the distribution over visible variables. In order to gain a higher…

In this work we study the evolution of Boltzmann's entropy in the context of free expansion of a one dimensional interacting gas inside a box. Boltzmann's entropy is defined for single microstates and is given by the phase-space volume…

We study a generic ensemble of deep belief networks which is parametrized by the distribution of energy levels of the hidden states of each layer. We show that, within a random energy approach, statistical dependence can propagate from the…

Graphical models are powerful tools for modeling high-dimensional data, but learning graphical models in the presence of latent variables is well-known to be difficult. In this work we give new results for learning Restricted Boltzmann…

Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) and models derived from them have been successfully used as basic building blocks in deep artificial neural networks for automatic features extraction, unsupervised weights initialization, but also as…

In this work, we analyze the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of a class of neural networks known as Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) in the context of unsupervised learning. We show how the network is described as a discrete Markov…
