tricks in deep learning neural network

In this post, I am going to talk my understanding in tricks in training deep neural network. ResNet [1] Why does ResNet network work? https://www.quora.com/How-does-deep-residual-learning-work Here is my answer: It is hard to know the desired depth of a deep network. If layers are too deep, errors are hard to propagate back correctly. if layers are …

A3C code walkthrough

In this post, I am doing a brief code walkthrough for the code written in https://medium.com/emergent-future/simple-reinforcement-learning-with-tensorflow-part-8-asynchronous-actor-critic-agents-a3c-c88f72a5e9f2 The code implements A3C algorithm (Asynchronous Methods for Deep Reinforcement Learning). It follows the pseudocode given in supplemental part in the paper: The structure of this model is: For LSTM structure detail, refer to http://colah.github.io/posts/2015-08-Understanding-LSTMs/. I am using the same …
