The paper analyzes the role of ReLU gates in deep learning networks.

The paper evaluates three variants of the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) in recurrent neural networks (RNN) by reducing parameters in the update and reset gates. We evaluate the three variant GRU models on MNIST and IMDB datasets and show that these GRU-RNN variant models perform as well as the original GRU RNN model while…

Gating is a key feature in modern neural networks including LSTMs, GRUs and sparsely-gated deep neural networks. The backbone of such gated networks is a mixture-of-experts layer, where several experts make regression decisions and gating controls how to weigh the decisions in an input-dependent manner. Despite having …

Methods from convex optimization are widely used as building blocks for deep learning algorithms.

Standard guarantees therefore do n…

For any positive integer $k$, there exist neural networks with $Θ(k^3)$ layers, $Θ(1)$ nodes per layer, and $Θ(1)$ distinct parameters which can not be approximated by networks with $\mathcal{O}(k)$ layers unless they are exponentially large --- they must possess $Ω(2^k)$ nodes. This result is proved here for a class o…
