Abstract
Abstract Deep nets are becoming larger and larger in practice, with no respect for (non)-factors that ought to limit growth including the so-called curse of dimensionality (CoD). Donoho suggested that dimensionality can be a blessing as well as a curse. Current practice in industry is well ahead of theory, but there are some recent theoretical results from Weinan E’s group suggesting that errors may be independent of dimensions $d$. Current practice suggests an even stronger conjecture: deep nets are not merely immune to CoD, but actually, deep nets thrive on scale.
期刊介绍:
Natural Language Engineering meets the needs of professionals and researchers working in all areas of computerised language processing, whether from the perspective of theoretical or descriptive linguistics, lexicology, computer science or engineering. Its aim is to bridge the gap between traditional computational linguistics research and the implementation of practical applications with potential real-world use. As well as publishing research articles on a broad range of topics - from text analysis, machine translation, information retrieval and speech analysis and generation to integrated systems and multi modal interfaces - it also publishes special issues on specific areas and technologies within these topics, an industry watch column and book reviews.
