Abstract(in English) CNNs have shown state-of-the-art performances on a large variety of classification tasks. However, because of its complexity, they may require an enormous amount of time for training and still not converge. One of the key ideas to address these problems is to initialize the network parameters with appropriate values before training. Several known methods pro- posed the initialization using an existing trained network, but they suppose both the trained network and the new network have the same structure. In this paper, we propose an initialization method that utilizes existing trained network and can be applied to a network with a different structure based on parameter density inheritance strategy. In the experiments, we verified the effectiveness of the proposed initialization method. With the proposed method, initialization can be applied for arbitrary layers of CNN, but we initialize only the first layer which requires the longest time in training with backpropagation. Through the experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed initialization method in improving the efficiency of CNN learning was verified.
