Abstract
The paper proposes an Adaptive Stacked Denoising Autoencoder (ASDA) to overcome the limitations of Stacked Denoising Autoencoder (SDA) [6] in which noise level is kept fixed during the training phase of the autoencoder. In ASDA, annealing schedule is applied on noise where the average noise level of input neurons is kept high during initial training phase and noise is slowly reduced as the training proceeds. The noise level of each input neuron is computed based on the weights connecting the input neuron to the hidden layer while keeping the average noise level of input layer to be same as that computed by annealing schedule. This enables the denoising autoencoder to learn the input manifold in greater details. As evident from results, ASDA gives better classification accuracy compared to SDA on variants of MNIST dataset [3].
