Abstract
This paper proposes a novel Stochastic Split Linearized Bregman Iteration ($S^{2}$-LBI) algorithm to efficiently train the deep network. The $S^{2}$-LBI introduces an iterative regularization path with structural sparsity. Our $S^{2}$-LBI combines the computational efficiency of the LBI, and model selection consistency in learning the structural sparsity. The computed solution path intrinsically enables us to enlarge or simplify a network, which theoretically, is benefited from the dynamics property of our $S^{2}$-LBI algorithm. The experimental results validate our $S^{2}$-LBI on MNIST and CIFAR-10 dataset. For example, in MNIST, we can either boost a network with only 1.5K parameters (1 convolutional layer of 5 filters, and 1 FC layer), achieves 98.40\% recognition accuracy; or we simplify $82.5\%$ of parameters in LeNet-5 network, and still achieves the 98.47\% recognition accuracy. In addition, we also have the learning results on ImageNet, which will be added in the next version of our report.
