CRIS Current Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishWorking in high-dimensional latent spaces, the internal encoding of data in Variational Autoencoders becomes naturally sparse. We discuss this known but controversial phenomenon, sometimes referred to as overpruning, to emphasize the under-use of the model capacity. In fact, it is an important form of self-regularization, with all the typical benefits associated with sparsity: it forces the model to focus on the really important features, enhancing their disentanglement and reducing the risk of overfitting. Especially, it is a major methodological guide for the correct tuning of the model capacity, progressively augmenting it to attain sparsity, or conversely reducing the dimension of the network removing links to zeroed out neurons.

We discuss this known but controversial phenomenon, sometimes referred to as overpruning, to emphasize the under-use of the model capacity. In fact, it is an important form of self-regularization, with all the typical benefits associated with sparsity: it forces the model to focus on the really important features, enhancing their disentanglement and reducing the risk of overfitting. Especially, it is a major methodological guide for the correct tuning of the model capacity, progressively augmenting it to attain sparsity, or conversely reducing the dimension of the network removing links to zeroed out neurons. |
