TRAINING NEURAL NETWORKS REPRESENTED AS COMPUTATIONAL GRAPHS

摘要

Systems and Methods for training a neural network represented as a computational graph are disclosed. An example method begins with obtaining data representing a computational graph. The computational graph is then augmented to generate a training computational graph for training the neural network using a machine learning training algorithm that includes computing a gradient of an objective function with respect to each of the parameters of the neural network. Augmenting the computational graph includes inserting a plurality of gradient nodes and training edges into the computational graph to generate a backward path through the computational graph that represents operations for computing the gradients of the objective function with respect to the parameters of the neural network. The neural network is trained using the machine learning training algorithm by executing the training computational graph.
