Abstract
Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) is an important generative model modeling vectorial data. While applying an RBM in practice to images, the data have to be vectorized. This results in high-dimensional data and valuable spatial information has got lost in vectorization. In this paper, a Matrix-Variate Restricted Boltzmann Machine (MVRBM) model is proposed by generalizing the classic RBM to explicitly model matrix data. In the new RBM model, both input and hidden variables are in matrix forms which are connected by bilinear transforms. The MVRBM has much less model parameters while retaining comparable performance as the classic RBM. The advantages of the MVRBM have been demonstrated on three real-world applications: handwritten digit denoising, reconstruction and recognition.
