Study Notes

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Overview

ANNs are biologically inspired computational networks, modeled after the human brain.
ANNs use processing from the brain to create algorithms to model complex patterns and solve prediction problems.
The goal is to mimic human thinking, allowing computers to learn by incorporating new data.

ANN Structure

ANNs consist of interconnected nodes (neurons) and synapses (weights).
Neurons are organized into layers: input, hidden, and output.
Input layer receives external signals from dendrites.
The signals are processed in the neuron cell body.
Processed signals are converted into output signals, transmitted through the axon.
Output signals are received by the dendrites of the next neuron through the synapse.
Neuron connections have associated weights (synapses).
Weights determine input value's importance in the decision-making process.
During training, weights update to minimize errors between predicted and actual outputs.

How ANNs Work

Inputs (dendrites) enter the network.
Input data is processed in the cell body, multiplying by associated weights and adding bias.
The result is passed through a linear function, producing an activation.
The activation is the output of the neuron (activation function).

Activation Functions

Crucial to determine if neurons should activate in a neural network.
Introduce nonlinearity to learn and represent complex patterns in data.
Weighted sum of inputs and bias is transformed by the activation function, producing neuron output.
Several activation functions are common (e.g., sigmoid, ReLU, tanh).
Activation functions enable the efficient computation of gradients during backpropagation.
They also help to mitigate issues such as vanishing gradients and dead neurons.

Learning in ANNs

Learning in ANNs involves modifying weights of connections between neurons.
Learning in ANNs can be categorized: Supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning.
Supervised learning: The input vector is fed, the output vector is calculated and error signal is produced.
The weights are adjusted until the actual output matches the desired output.
Unsupervised learning: Input vectors of similar types are grouped into clusters. A new input pattern is evaluated and categorized as belonging to a particular cluster based on similarities.
Reinforcement learning: The network receives feedback from the environment. This feedback helps to adjust weights for better performance in the future.

Cost Functions

The cost function, or loss function, quantifies differences between the predicted and actual(desired) output.
Various functions exist (e.g., Mean Squared Error (MSE), Binary Cross-Entropy, Categorical Cross-Entropy).
The aim is to minimize the loss during training, which helps improve the network's performance.

Backpropagation

A method for training ANNs by adjusting weights and biases to minimize difference between predicted and actual outputs.
Involves two main steps: forward pass and backward pass.

ML vs Deep Learning

ML: broader AI field, using data and algorithms to imitate human learning and improve accuracy gradually over time.
- Can run on standard CPUs.
- Generally shorter training times.
- Easier to interpret for structured data..
DL: subset of ML, focuses on neural networks with multiple layers (hence "deep") to automatically discover data representations.
- Complex models and Requires specialized hardware (GPUs or TPUs).
- Long training times, especially with large datasets.
- Harder to interpret for unstructured data.

Popular DL Neural Networks

Different neural network types perform specific functions, suited for different tasks
Examples include Feedforward NN, Convolutional NN, Recurrent NN, LSTM, GRU, GANs, Transformers, Autoencoders, and RBFNs.

Advantages of ANNs

Ability to learn complex patterns from large datasets.
Non-linearity to model complex relationships.
Adaptability to new data and changing input characteristics.
Parallel processing for faster computations.
Generalization from seen data to unseen data.

Disadvantages of ANNs

Large data requirements for effective training.
Black-box nature (lack of understanding decision-making process in ANN).
Computationally expensive, requiring significant resources for training process.
Risk of overfitting to training data, poor generalization to unseen data.
Tuning many hyperparameters (e.g., learning rate, number of layers) is complex.
