Abstract:
Second-order optimization techniques have been proven successful, but cannot be fully leveraged for neural networks due to infeasibility of hessian calculations. I will discuss an approximated way of computing the hessian for neural networks, which emerges from a careful analysis of the hessian chain rule and activation functions.
