Medium GrooveSquid.com (original content) Medium Difficulty Summary
The paper introduces a novel gradient-free cutting-plane training method for ReLU networks of arbitrary depth, which is applied to develop an active learning scheme. This scheme achieves convergence guarantees with a geometric contraction rate of the feasible set, outperforming popular deep active learning baselines on both synthetic data and real-world sentimental classification tasks.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper creates a new way to train ReLU networks using a cutting-plane method that doesn’t need gradients. It’s then used for an active learning approach that can guarantee it will converge. The results show this method is better than other popular deep learning approaches on both made-up data and real-world sentiment analysis tasks.
