报告摘要：

In recent years, deep learning caves out a research wave in machine learning. With outstanding performance, more and more applications of deep learning in pattern recognition, image recognition, speech recognition, and video processing have been developed. 

The talk is to introduce “Broad Learning” – a complete paradigm shift in discriminative learning and a very fast and accurate learning without deep structure. The broad learning system (BLS) utilizes the power of incremental learning. That is without stacking the layer-structure, the designed neural networks expand the neural nodes broadly and update the weights of the neural networks incrementally when additional nodes are needed and when the input data entering to the neural networks continuously. The designed network structure and incremental learning algorithm are perfectly suitable for modeling and learning big data environment. Experiments indicate that the designed structure and algorithm out-perform existing structures and learning algorithms. Several BLS variations that cover existing deep-wide/broad-wide structures will be discussed.
