Abstract

We present a novel theoretical result that generalises the Discriminative Restricted Boltzmann Machine (DRBM). While originally the DRBM was defined assuming the \(\{0, 1\}\)-Bernoulli distribution in each of its hidden units, this result makes it possible to derive cost functions for variants of the DRBM that utilise other distributions, including some that are often encountered in the literature. This paper shows that this function can be extended to the Binomial and \(\{-1,+1\}\)-Bernoulli hidden units.

  2. 2.

    We obtained a marginally lower average loss of \(1.78\%\) in our evaluation of this model than the \(1.81\%\) reported in [5].

  3. 3.

    Our evaluation resulted in a model with a classification accuracy of \(28.52\%\) in comparison with the \(27.6\%\) reported in [5].
