Guided learning lets “untrainable” neural networks realize their potential
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have discovered that previously deemed 'untrainable' neural networks can learn effectively when guided by another network's inherent biases, utilizing a method known as guidance. This approach allows these networks to align briefly and adapt their learning processes.
tensorflow-riemopt: A Library for Optimization on Riemannian Manifolds
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
A new Python library named tensorflow-riemopt has been introduced, designed for geometric machine learning within TensorFlow. This library features efficient implementations of neural network layers with manifold-constrained parameters, geometric operations on Riemannian manifolds, and stochastic optimization algorithms tailored for non-Euclidean spaces.
