Abstract
Systems and methods for training a neural network or an ensemble of neural networks are described. A hyper-parameter that controls the variance of the ensemble predictors is used to address overfitting. For larger values of the hyper-parameter, the predictions from the ensemble have more variance, so there is less overfitting. This technique can be applied to ensemble learning with various cost functions, structures and parameter sharing. A cost function is provided and a set of techniques for learning are described.
