演讲摘要:

The Broad Learning System has been proved to be effective and efficient lately. In this talk, several deep variants of Broad Learning System (BLS) are reviewed, and a new adaptive dynamically incremental structure, Stacked Broad Learning Systerm, is proposed. The proposed model is a novel incremental stacking of Broad learning Systems. This invariant inherits the efficiency and effectiveness of Broad Learning System that the structure and weights of lower layers of Broad Learning Systems are fixed when the new blocks are added. The modified incremental stecking algorithm computes not only the connection weights between the new stacking blocks but also the connection weights of the enhancement nodes within the BlS block. Finally, experimental results on UC datasets, MNIST dataset NORB dataset, CIFAR-10 dataset, SVHN dataset, and CIFAR-100 dataset indicate that the proposed method outperforms the other state-of-the-art methods on both accuracy and training speed, such as Deep Residual Networks. The results also imply that the proposed structure could highly reduce the number of nodes and the training time of the original Broad Learning System in the classification task of some datasets.
