Resumo

Deep learning techniques usually face drawbacks related to the vanishing gradient problem, i.e., the gradient becomes gradually weaker when propagating from one layer to another until it finally vanishes away and no longer helps in the learning process. Works have addressed this problem by introducing residual connections, thus assisting gradient propagation. However, such a subject of study has been poorly considered for Deep Belief Networks. In this paper, we propose a weighted layer-wise information reinforcement approach concerning Deep Belief Networks. Moreover, we also introduce metaheuristic optimization to select proper weight connections that improve the network's learning capabilities. Experiments conducted over public datasets corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in image classification tasks.
