pytorch —— 正则化之Dropout

1、Dropout概念

Dropout：随机失活，随机是dropout probability，失活是指weight=0。

通过下面的示例图理解随机失活：

左边的图是正常的全连接网络，右边的图是使用dropout的神经网络，dropout是以一定的概率让一部分的神经元失活，这可以让神经元学习到更鲁棒的特征，减轻过度的依赖性，从而缓解过拟合，降低方差达到正则化效果，这种操作可以使模型更多样化，因为每一次前向传播神经元都会随机失活，每次训练得到的模型都是不一样的。

为什么dropout能够达到很好的正则化效果呢？

1. 从特征依赖性角度
   假设一个神经元会接收上一层的五个神经元的输出值，可以理解为上一层的特征，如果当前神经元特别依赖于某一个特征。如果加了dropout之后，当前神经元就不知道上一层所有神经元中哪些神经元会出现，这样当前神经元就不会过度依赖上一层神经元中的某些神经元。

数据尺度变化：
测试时，所有权重乘以1-drop_prob，例如drop_prob=0.3，1-drop_prob=0.7;

1.2 nn.Dropout

功能：Dropout层；
参数：

• P：被舍弃概率，失活概率；
  注意：dropout层通常放在需要dropout的网络层的前一层；

torch.nn.Dropout(p=0.5,inplace=False)

下面通过代码分析Dropout层的作用：
