META-LEARNING AND ENSEMBLE METHODS FOR DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS

Deep Neural Networks have been widely applied in many different applications and achieve significant improvement over classical machine learning techniques. However, training a neural network usually requires large amount of data, which is not guaranteed in some applications such as medical image classification. To address this issue, people propose to implement meta learning and ensemble learning techniques to make deep learning trainers more powerful. This thesis focuses on using deep learning equipped with meta learning and ensemble learning to study specific problems.
We first propose a new deep learning based method for suggestion mining.
The major challenges of suggestion mining include cross domain issue and the issues caused by unstructured and highly imbalanced data structure. To overcome these challenges, we propose to apply Random Multi-model Deep Learning (RMDL) which combines three different deep learning architectures (DNNs, RNNs and CNNs) and automatically selects the optimal hyper parameter to improve the robustness and flexibility of the model. Our experimental results on the SemEval-2019 competition Task 9 data sets demonstrate that our proposed RMDL outperforms most of the existing suggestion mining methods. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
