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

A Perspective on Deep Imaging
TL;DR: The combination of tomographic imaging and deep learning, or machine learning in general, promises to empower not only image analysis but also image reconstruction as discussed by the authors, and the latter aspect is considered in this perspective article with an emphasis on medical imaging to develop a new generation of image reconstruction theories and techniques.

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.
