Stochastic proximal gradient descent was presented to solve the deep model training with the proposed model selection based on group lasso regularization. However, the implementation details were not presented, especially regarding the iterative updates for the "loss-based gradient step". From the context, it seems that the iterative updates in the original deep model training procedure were simply modified based on Eq. 5. If that is the case, the claim of the generality of the method for "general deep networks" as it will depend on the optimization procedure of the deep model training. If the motivation of the presented work is to remove redundant neurons.
