Study Notes
- Features are a set of attributes, represented as a vector, and associated with an example, such as {A,B}.
- Labels are values or categories assigned to examples, like {+1,-1}.
- A training sample consists of examples used to train a learning algorithm.
- A test sample consists of examples used to evaluate the performance of a learning algorithm, kept separate from the training stage.
- A loss function measures the difference, or loss, between a predicted label and a true label.
- Artificial Neural Networks are models of the brain and nervous system.
- ANNs use high amounts of parallelism.
- ANNs process information like the brain does, not like a serial computer
- ANNs are capable of learning.
- ANNs work with very simple principles but have very complex behaviours
- ANNs incorporate the two fundamental components of biological neural nets:
- Neurons (nodes)
- Synapses (weights)
- In feed-forward ANNs:
- Data is presented to the input layer.
- Data passes through a hidden layer
- Data passes on to an output layer
- Linear classifiers can be used to classify data.
