Fine-tuning for discrimination
• First learn one layer at a time greedily.
• Then treat this as “pre-training” that finds a good
initial set of weights which can be fine-tuned by
a local search procedure.
– Contrastive wake-sleep is one way of fine-
tuning the model to be better at generation.
• Backpropagation can be used to fine-tune the
model for better discrimination.
– This overcomes many of the limitations of
standard backpropagation.
