TLDR
A fast, greedy algorithm is derived that can learn deep, directed belief networks one layer at a time, provided the top two layers form an undirected associative memory.Abstract:
We show how to use "complementary priors" to eliminate the explaining-away effects that make inference difficult in densely connected belief nets that have many hidden layers. Using complementary priors, we derive a fast, greedy algorithm that can learn deep, directed belief networks one layer at a time, provided the top two layers form an undirected associative memory. The fast, greedy algorithm is used to initialize a slower learning procedure that fine-tunes the weights using a contrastive version of the wake-sleep algorithm. After fine-tuning, a network with three hidden layers forms a very good generative model of the joint distribution of handwritten digit images and their labels. This generative model gives better digit classification than the best discriminative learning algorithms. The low-dimensional manifolds on which the digits lie are modeled by long ravines in the free-energy landscape of the top-level associative memory, and it is easy to explore these ravines by using the directed connections to display what the associative memory has in mind.read more

Seqgan: sequence generative adversarial nets with policy gradient
TL;DR: SeqGAN as mentioned in this paper models the data generator as a stochastic policy in reinforcement learning (RL), and the RL reward signal comes from the discriminator judged on a complete sequence, and is passed back to the intermediate state-action steps using Monte Carlo search.

Shape matching and object recognition using shape contexts
TL;DR: This paper presents work on computing shape models that are computationally fast and invariant basic transformations like translation, scaling and rotation, and proposes shape detection using a feature called shape context, which is descriptive of the shape of the object.

Training products of experts by minimizing contrastive divergence
TL;DR: A product of experts (PoE) is an interesting candidate for a perceptual system in which rapid inference is vital and generation is unnecessary because it is hard even to approximate the derivatives of the renormalization term in the combination rule.
