    Deep learning’s power stems from complex architectures; however, these can lead to overfitting, where models memorize training data and fail to generalize to unseen examples. This paper proposes a novel probabilistic approach to mitigate this issue. We introduce two key elements: Truncated Log-Uniform Prior and Truncated Log-Normal Variational Approximation, and Automatic Relevance Determination (ARD) with Bayesian Deep Neural Networks (BDNNs). Within the probabilistic framework, we employ a specially designed truncated log-uniform prior for noise. This prior acts as a regularizer, guiding the learning process towards simpler solutions and reducing overfitting. Additionally, a truncated log-normal variational approximation is used for efficient handling of the complex probability distributions inherent in deep learning models. ARD automatically identifies and removes irrelevant features or weights within a model. By integrating ARD with BDNNs, where weights have a probability distribution, we achieve a variational bound similar to the popular variational dropout technique. Dropout randomly drops neurons during training, encouraging the model not to rely heavily on any single feature. Our approach with ARD achieves similar benefits without the randomness of dropout, potentially leading to more stable training.

    To evaluate our approach, we have tested the model on two datasets: the Canadian Institute For Advanced Research (CIFAR-10) for image classification and a dataset of Macroscopic Images of Wood, which is compiled from multiple macroscopic images of wood datasets. Our method is applied to established architectures like Visual Geometry Group (VGG) and Residual Network (ResNet). The results demonstrate significant improvements. The model reduced overfitting while maintaining, or even improving, the accuracy of the network’s predictions on classification tasks. This validates the effectiveness of our approach in enhancing the performance and generalization capabilities of deep learning models.
