Abstract

A tensor deep stacked neural (T-DSN) network for obtaining predictions for discriminative modeling problems. The T-DSN network and method use bilinear modeling with a tensor representation to map a hidden layer to the predication layer. The T-DSN network is constructed by stacking blocks of a single hidden layer tensor neural network (SHLTNN) on top of each other. The single hidden layer for each block then is separated or divided into a plurality of two or more sections. In some embodiments, the hidden layer is separated into a first hidden layer section and a second hidden layer section. These multiple sections of the hidden layer are combined using a product operator to obtain an implicit hidden layer having a single section. In some embodiments the product operator is a Khatri-Rao product. A prediction is made using the implicit hidden layer and weights, and the output prediction layer is consequently obtained.
