Pre-training

As we have seen, neural networks, and convolutional networks in particular, work by tuning the weights of the network as if they were coefficients of a large equation in order to get the correct output given a specific input. The tuning happens through back-propagation to move the weights towards the best solution given the chosen neural net architecture. One of the problems is therefore finding the best initialization values for the weights in the neural network. Libraries such as Keras can automatically take care of that. However, this topic is important enough to be worth discussing this point.

Restricted Boltzmann machines have been used to pre-train the network by using the input as the desired output to make the network automatically learn representations of the input and tune its weights accordingly, and this topic has already been discussed in Chapter 4, Unsupervised Feature Learning.

In addition, there exists many pre-trained networks that offer good results. As we have...
