7 results for logarithmic-depth

New algorithm proves deep networks can learn better than shallow ones.

problem Understanding the power difference between shallow and deep neural networks.
method Identifying a class of Boolean functions and proving that logarithmic-depth networks can learn them efficiently using hierarchical reconstruction.
result First algorithmic separation between constant-depth and logarithmic-depth neural networks.

LdSM builds efficient multi-label decision trees with logarithmic depth.

problem Efficiently annotate data points with relevant subsets of labels from a large label set.
method Develops LdSM algorithm for multi-label decision trees with logarithmic depth, optimizing a novel objective function for balanced splits and high class purity.
result Minimizing the proposed objective function leads to pure and balanced data splits, achieving high prediction accuracy and low prediction time.

We consider the problem of estimating the conditional probability of a label in time O(log n), where n is the number of possible labels. We analyze a natural reduction of this problem to a set of binary regression problems organized in a tree structure, proving a regret bound that scales with the depth of the tree. Mot…
