Abstract(in English) Deep learning has a serious drawback in that the resulting models tend to be a black box, hence hard to understand. A sparse modeling approach is expected to ameliorate the drawback. Various regularization terms are proposed so far. The paper proposes to use the concept of Pareto optimality composed of data fitting and the sparseness of models for judging the effectiveness of regularization terms using DB such as US census data. We have demonstrated that compared to the most popular L1-norm to connection weights, the selective L1-norm to connection weights is more effective, the selective L1 norm or L2 norm to hidden outputs and KL divergence or off-diagonal squared covariance of hidden outputs are yet more effective. This enables the clarification of information compression mechanism of the resulting stacked autoencoders.
