Deep belief network (DBN) is an efficient learning model for unknown data representation, especially nonlinear systems. However, it is extremely hard to design a satisfactory DBN with a robust structure because of traditional dense representation. In addition, backpropagation algorithm-based fine-tuning tends to yield poor performance since its ease of being trapped into local optima. In this article, we propose a novel DBN model based on adaptive sparse restricted Boltzmann machines (AS-RBM) and partial least square (PLS) regression fine-tuning, abbreviated as ARP-DBN, to obtain a more robust and accurate model than the existing ones. First, the adaptive learning step size is designed to accelerate an RBM training process, and two regularization terms are introduced into such a process to realize sparse representation. Second, initial weight derived from AS-RBM is further optimized via layer-by-layer PLS …
