Bayesian Learning via Stochastic Dynamics

Abstract

The attempt to find a single "optimal" weight vector in conven(cid:173) tional network training can lead to overfitting and poor generaliza(cid:173) tion. Bayesian methods avoid this, without the need for a valida(cid:173) tion set, by averaging the outputs of many networks with weights sampled from the posterior distribution given the training data. This sample can be obtained by simulating a stochastic dynamical system that has the posterior as its stationary distribution.
