摘 要：

given a convolutional neural network (cnn) architecture, its network parameters are determined by backpropagation (bp) nowadays. the underlying mechanism remains to be a black-box after a large amount of theoretical investigation. in this talk, i describe a new interpretable feedforward (ff) design with the lenet-5 as an example. the ff-designed cnn is a data-centric approach that derives network parameters based on training data statistics layer by layer in one pass. to build the convolutional layers, we develop a new signal transform, called the saab (subspace approximation with adjusted bias) transform. the bias in filter weights is chosen to annihilate nonlinearity of the activation function. to build the fully-connected (fc) layers, we adopt a label-guided linear least squared regression (lsr) method. to generalize the ff design idea furthermore, we present the notion of “successive subspace learning (ssl)” and present a couple of concrete methods for image and point cloud classification. extensive experimental results are given to demonstrate the competitive performance of the ssl-based systems. similarities and differences between ssl and deep learning (dl) are discussed.
