A simultaneous perturbation weak derivative estimator for stochastic neural networks

In this paper we study gradient estimation for a network of nonlinear stochastic units known as the Little model. Many machine learning systems can be described as networks of homogeneous units, and the Little model is of a particularly general form, which includes as special cases several popular m...
