Corresponding to the three categories of models, there are three different algorithm to compute the gradients of a neural network.</p> + +<ol style="list-style-type: decimal"> + +<li>Back-propagation (BP) for feed-forward models</li> + +<li>Back-propagation through time (BPTT) for recurrent neural networks</li> + +<li>Contrastive divergence (CD) for RBM, DBM, etc models.</li> +</ol> +<p>SINGA has provided these three algorithms as three Worker implementations. Users only need to configure in the model.conf file to specify which algorithm should be used. The configuration protocol is</p> + +<div class="source"> +<div class="source"><pre class="prettyprint">message ModelProto { + ... + enum GradCalcAlg { + // BP algorithm for feed-forward models, e.g., CNN, MLP, RNN + kBP = 1; + // BPTT for recurrent neural networks + kBPTT = 2; + // CD algorithm for RBM, DBM etc., models + kCd = 3; + } + // gradient calculation algorithm + required GradCalcAlg alg = 8 [default = kBackPropagation]; + ... +} +</pre></div></div> +<p>These algorithms override the TrainOneBatch function of the Worker.

Some may traverses the neural network multiple times, e.g., the CDWorker’s TrainOneBatch function is:</p> + +<div class="source"> +<div class="source"><pre class="prettyprint">void CDWorker::TrainOneBatch(int step, Metric* perf) { + PostivePhase(step, kTrain, train_net_, perf); + NegativePhase(step, kTran, train_net_, perf); + GradientPhase(step, train_net_); +} +</pre></div></div> +<p>Each <tt>*Phase</tt> function would visit all layers one or multiple times.
