Altitude Training: Strong Bounds for Single-Layer Dropout [PDF]

, 2014
Dropout training, originally designed for deep neural networks, has been successful on high-dimensional single-layer natural language tasks. This paper proposes a theoretical explanation for this phenomenon: we show that, under a generative Poisson topic

The key reasons for dropout in Slovenian music schools – a qualitative study

Frontiers in Psychology
Music education often struggles to sustain students’ long-term commitment, with many perceiving lessons as frustrating or unengaging, leading to discontinuation.

Identifying Attrition Phases in Survey Data: Applicability and Assessment Study [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Although Web-based questionnaires are an efficient, increasingly popular mode of data collection, their utility is often challenged by high participant dropout. Researchers can gain insight into potential causes of high participant dropout by

Variational Dropout and the Local Reparameterization Trick [PDF]

, 2015
We investigate a local reparameterizaton technique for greatly reducing the variance of stochastic gradients for variational Bayesian inference (SGVB) of a posterior over model parameters, while retaining parallelizability.

A bi-dimensional finite mixture model for longitudinal data subject to dropout

, 2017
In longitudinal studies, subjects may be lost to follow-up, or miss some of the planned visits, leading to incomplete response sequences. When the probability of non-response, conditional on the available covariates and the observed responses, still ...

Dropout Training as Adaptive Regularization [PDF]

, 2013
Dropout and other feature noising schemes control overfitting by artificially corrupting the training data. For generalized linear models, dropout performs a form of adaptive regularization.

Forgotten Youth: Re-Engaging Students Through Dropout Recovery [PDF]

, 2012
Each year, thousands of Massachusetts students drop out of school. The path forward for these students is difficult, and failing to fully educate the next generation of workers and leaders has substantial long-term consequences for our shared economic ...

CCI: A Consensus Clustering-Based Imputation Method for Addressing Dropout Events in scRNA-Seq Data

Bioengineering
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a cutting-edge technique in molecular biology and genomics, revealing the cellular heterogeneity. However, scRNA-seq data often suffer from dropout events, meaning that certain genes exhibit very low or even zero
