A Sober Look at Neural Network Initializations
Initializing the weights and the biases is a key part of the training process of a neural network. Unlike the subsequent optimization phase, however, the initialization phase has gained only limited attention in the literature. In this paper we discuss some consequences of commonly used initialization strategies for vanilla DNNs with ReLU activations. Based on these insights we then develop an alternative initialization strategy. Finally, we present some large scale experiments assessing the quality of the new initialization strategy.

A Sober Look at the Unsupervised Learning of Disentangled Representations and their Evaluation
The idea behind the \emph{unsupervised} learning of \emph{disentangled} representations is that real-world data is generated by a few explanatory factors of variation which can be recovered by unsupervised learning algor…
