Neural Net Dropout
Linear Digressions - Un pódcast de Ben Jaffe and Katie Malone
Categorías:
Neural networks are complex models with many parameters and can be prone to overfitting. There's a surprisingly simple way to guard against this: randomly destroy connections between hidden units, also known as dropout. It seems counterintuitive that undermining the structural integrity of the neural net makes it robust against overfitting, but in the world of neural nets, weirdness is just how things go sometimes.
