Introduced by David Krueger et al. in Zoneout: Regularizing RNNs by Randomly Preserving Hidden Activations

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

Zoneout is a method for regularizing RNNs. At each timestep, zoneout stochastically forces some hidden units to maintain their previous values. Like dropout, zoneout uses random noise to train a pseudo-ensemble, improving generalization. But by preserving instead of dropping hidden units, gradient information and state information are more readily propagated through time, as in feedforward stochastic depth networks.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (29 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
