summarySuccessful deep neural networks are systematically trained via the end-to-end back-propagation algorithm. In a recent work, we challenge this optimization procedure. We show it is possible to train layers sequentially, by using ad-hoc auxiliary classifiers. For instance, one can obtain AlexNet performances on Imagenet by training successively a sequence of 1-hidden layer CNNs. Using deeper auxiliary classifier, we exhibit VGG performances. We propose an empirical analysis through the scope of progressive linear separation. Applications are discussed.
