An Efficient Learning Procedure for Deep Boltzmann Machines

We present a new learning algorithm for Boltzmann Machines that contain many layers of hidden variables. Data-dependent statistics are estimated using a variational approximation that tends to focus on a single mode, and data-independent statistics are estimated using persistent Markov chains. The u...
