Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The natural gradient method has an ideal dynamic behavior which resolves the slow learning speed of the standard gradient descent method caused by plateaus. However, it is required to calculate the Fisher information matrix and its inverse, which makes the implementation of the natural gradient almost impossible. To solve this problem, a preliminary study has been proposed concerning an adaptive method of calculating an estimate of the inverse of the Fisher information matrix, which is called the adaptive natural gradient learning method. In this paper, we show that the adaptive natural gradient method can be extended to be applicable to a wide class of stochastic models: regression with an arbitrary noise model and classification with an arbitrary number of classes. We give explicit forms of the adaptive natural gradient for these models. We confirm the practical advantage of the proposed algorithms through computational experiments on benchmark problems.
