Abstract(in English) Recent progress in deep learning (DL) is remarkable and its recognition capability is said to surpass that of humans. The acquired features, however, don’t seem to be sufficiently clear. Furthermore, the basis of judgement by DL is mostly unknown. In 1990s the author proposed L1-norm regularization and relevant terms to create understandable neural networks mainly with discrete valued inputs and outputs. Because DL is inherently nonlinear, L1-norm alone might not be enough to understand the resulting models due to frequently emerging redundant representations. The present paper extends the previous proposal to deep learning models with special emphasis on redundant representations. Training with L1-norm and selective L1-norm to connection weights, decomposition of a model, and suppressing redundant representations are proposed. The paper clarifies the effectiveness of the proposal by applying it to stacked autoencoders using red wine quality data.
