This work reports learning improvement in a six-layer deep neural network that is initialized with orthogonal weight matrices when compared to other commonly-used initialization schemes. An analysis of the eigenvalue spectra of the optimized solutions implies that the space of orthogonal weight matrices lies close to the manifold of learned states.}, year = {2016}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 34th Samahang Pisika ng Pilipinas Physics Congress}, pages = {SPP-2016-PA-21}, month = {18{\textendash}21 Aug 2016}, address = {University of the Philippines Visayas, Iloilo City}, url = {https://proceedings.spp-online.org/article/view/SPP-2016-PA-21}, }
