注意力机制、深度残差网络和软阈值化的集成：深度残差收缩网络（附代码）

深度残差收缩网络是一种针对强噪声数据的深度学习方法，是由“深度残差网络”和“收缩”组成的。一方面，“深度残差网络”已经成为了深度学习领域的基础网络。另一方面，“收缩”指的是软阈值函数，是很多信号降噪算法的关键步骤。

更重要地，在深度残差收缩网络中，软阈值化所需要的阈值，实质上是在注意力机制下自动设置的，从而避免了人工设置阈值的麻烦。

我们首先对深度残差网络、软阈值化和注意力机制的基础知识进行了简要的回顾，然后对深度残差收缩网络的动机、算法和应用展开解读。

1.相关基础

1.1 残差网络

残差网络（或称为深度残差网络、深度残差学习，英文ResNet）属于一种卷积神经网络。相较于普通的卷积神经网络，残差网络采用了跨层的恒等连接，以减轻卷积神经网络的训练难度。残差网络的一种常见的基本模块如图所示。

1.2 软阈值化

软阈值化是许多信号降噪方法的核心步骤。它的用处是将绝对值低于某个阈值的特征置为零，将其他的特征也朝着零进行调整，也就是收缩。在这里，阈值是一个需要预先设置的参数，其取值大小对于降噪的结果有着直接的影响。软阈值化的输入与输出之间的关系如图所示。

我们可以看出，软阈值化是一种非线性变换，有着和ReLU激活函数相似的性质：梯度要么是0，要么是1。因此，软阈值化也能够作为神经网络的激活函数。事实上，一些神经网络已经将软阈值函数作为激活函数进行了使用。

1.3 注意力机制

注意力机制指的是将注意力集中于局部关键信息的机制，可以分成两步：第一，通过全局扫描，发现局部有用信息；第二，增强有用信息并抑制冗余信息。

Squeeze-and-Excitation Network是一种非常经典的注意力机制下的深度学习方法。它可以通过一个小型的子网络，自动学习得到一组权重，对特征图的各个通道进行加权。其含义在于，某些特征通道是较为重要的，而另一些特征通道是信息冗余的；那么，我们就可以通过这种方式增强有用特征通道、削弱冗余特征通道。Squeeze-and-Excitation Network的一种基本模块如下图所示。

值得指出的是，通过这种方式，每个样本都可以有自己独特的一组权重，可以根据样本自身的特点，进行独特的特征通道加权调整。例如，样本A的第一特征通道是重要的，第二特征通道是不重要的；而样本B的第一特征通道是不重要的，第二特征通道是重要的；通过这种方式，样本A可以有自己的一组权重，以加强第一特征通道，削弱第二特征通道；同样地，样本B可以有自己的一组权重，以削弱第一特征通道，加强第二特征通道。

2.深度残差收缩网络理论

2.1 动机

首先，现实世界中的数据，或多或少都含有一些冗余信息。那么我们就可以尝试将软阈值化嵌入残差网络中，以进行冗余信息的消除。

其次，各个样本中冗余信息含量经常是不同的。那么我们就可以借助注意力机制，根据各个样本的情况，自适应地给各个样本设置不同的阈值。

2.2 算法

与残差网络和Squeeze-and-Excitation Network相似，深度残差收缩网络也是由许多基本模块堆叠而成的。每个基本模块都有一个子网络，用于自动学习得到一组阈值，用于特征图的软阈值化。值得指出的是，通过这种方式，每个样本都有着自己独特的一组阈值。深度残差收缩网络的一种基本模块如下图所示。

深度残差收缩网络的大致框架如下图所示，是由输入层、许多基本模块以及最后的全连接输出层等部分所组成的。

2.3 应用

在原始论文中，深度残差收缩网络是应用于基于振动信号的机械设备故障诊断。但是从原理上来讲，深度残差收缩网络面向的是数据集含有冗余信息的情况，而冗余信息是无处不在的。例如，在图像识别的时候，图像中总会包含一些与标签无关的区域；在语音识别的时候，音频中经常会含有各种形式的噪声。因此，深度残差收缩网络，或者说这种在深度学习算法内部集成“注意力机制”+“软阈值化”的思路，有着较为广泛的研究价值和应用前景。
