Study Notes

Introduction to Machine Learning AI 305 - Deep Learning

Neural networks gained popularity in the 1980s, with significant successes and conferences (NeurIPS, Snowbird).
Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Random Forests, and Boosting emerged in the 1990s, causing neural networks to take a back seat.
Deep Learning re-emerged around 2010 and became dominant by the 2020s.
Factors contributing to Deep Learning's success include advancements in computing power, increased training datasets, and the development of software like TensorFlow and PyTorch.
Pioneers like Yann LeCun, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yoshua Bengio received the 2019 ACM Turing Award for their work on neural networks.

Machine Learning Basics

Machine learning empowers computers to learn without explicit programming.
Labeled data is crucial for training.
A machine learning algorithm processes labeled data.
Results in a learned model capable of making predictions on new data.

ML vs Deep Learning

Machine learning performs well thanks to pre-defined representations and input features.
Machine learning essentially optimizes weights for prediction.
Data needs to be properly structured with relevant features for good machine learning models.
Deep learning algorithms learn multiple representations of data using a hierarchy of multiple layers, automatically learning patterns from massive amounts of data.

What is Deep Learning (DL)?

Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning focused on learning representations of data.
Deep learning is capable of learning complex patterns.
Deep learning algorithms use multiple layers to extract representations of data.
Deep learning excels at handling large amounts of information, identifying patterns, and making predictions based on these.

Why is DL Useful?

Manually designed features are often incomplete, overly specific, and time-consuming to create and validate.
Learned features are adaptable and fast to learn.
Deep learning provides a flexible framework for understanding different types of information (e.g., visual, textual).
Deep learning enables end-to-end learning, allowing systems to process and learn from the input all the way through to the output without human intervention.
Deep learning can utilize large datasets efficiently.
Deep learning has outperformed conventional machine learning techniques in speech recognition, image recognition, and natural language processing.

Representational Power

Neural networks with at least one hidden layer are universal approximators.
They can approximate any complex continuous function given enough hidden layers and nonlinear functions.
Deep neural networks typically perform better than shallow networks due to their ability to learn complex patterns.
Mathematically, deeper networks have the same representational power as shallow networks.
Deep neural networks effectively learn complex decision boundaries.

Perceptron

A perceptron is the fundamental processing element in a neural network. Its inputs come from the environment or other perceptrons.
Inputs are weighted, summed and applied to an activation function yielding an output.

Single Layer Neural Network

A single-layer neural network consists of individual neurons.
Each neuron receives an input from the preceding layer.
These are multiplied by weights, then summed.
There is a bias-term.
The sum is transformed by an activation function.

Activation Function

Activation functions add non-linearity to neural networks, enabling them to learn complex patterns.
The sigmoid function squashes the input values into the range of 0 to 1.
The Tanh function squashes input values into a zero-centered range of -1 to 1.
ReLU activations threshold inputs at zero.
Leaky ReLU has a small negative slope for negative inputs

Matrix Operation

A common way to represent neural networks involves matrix operations, speeding up calculations through parallel computations.

Neural Network Summary

Neural networks consist of interconnected neurons.
Neurons transform inputs and passes through activation functions.
The network learns through adjusting weights via optimization algorithms.

Softmax Layer

Softmax layers are the output layers in multi-class classification tasks.
Softmax layers transform the outputs into probability distributions across the classes.
If there is binary classification, there is still a need for a softmax layer, but it's not needed as often as in multi-classification.

Activation: Sigmoid, Tanh, ReLU, Leaky ReLU

Sigmoid, Tanh, ReLU, and Leaky ReLU are activation functions that introduce non-linearity into the network.
These non-linear functions enable the network to model complex relationships.
ReLU acts as a threshold function, which makes it faster compared to Sigmoid or Tanh.
Leaky ReLU corrects the potential issue of some neurons in ReLU failing to activate.

Activation: Linear Function

Linear function activation is the simplest form.
It does not add non-linearity but maintains a proportional relationship between input and output.
Used less commonly compared to Sigmoid, Tanh, ReLU and Leaky ReLU.

Training NNs Summary

Training a neural network involves adjusting its parameters (weights and biases) to minimize a loss function.
Data preprocessing (zero-centering and normalization) accelerates training of these networks.
The goal during training is to find parameter values that minimize the total cost.

Training NNs - Loss Functions

The loss function assesses the error between model predictions and ground-truth values during training.
Mean Squared Error and Cross-Entropy are examples of commonly used loss functions.

Training NNs - Optimizing the Loss Function

Optimizing the loss function aims to find the optimal parameters that yield minimal error.
Gradient descent is a method that iteratively adjusts the parameters to minimize the loss function.

Gradient Descent Summary

Gradient descent is an iterative optimization algorithm that updates the parameters of a neural network to minimize the loss function and maximize accuracy.
The approach uses the opposite direction of the gradient of the loss function to update parameters with the learning rate factor.
The algorithm continues until a halt condition is met or a minimum is reached.

Gradient Descent with Momentum

Momentum in gradient descent helps overcome slow convergence on flat portions of the loss surface and reduces oscillations during updates.

Adam

Adam is an adaptive optimization algorithm that adjusts the learning rate for each parameter based on the first and second moments of the gradients.

Learning Rate, Annealing, and Scheduling

Learning rate determines the step size in adjusting parameters to minimize loss during training.
Learning rate scheduling adjusts the learning rate during the training process to accelerate convergence and avoid oscillations.

Vanishing Gradient Problem

In deep networks, gradients might vanish during training, making learning very slow or impossible.

Generalization - Underfitting and Overfitting

Underfitting describes a model that's too simple to capture the underlying relationship in the data.
Overfitting describes a model that's too complex, fitting noise in the training data instead of the underlying relationship.

Regularization Techniques

Techniques like weight decay and dropout prevent overfitting by adding constraints on the model's complexity.
Weight decay penalizes large weights.
Dropout randomly omits units during training to limit their influence on the model.

k-Fold Cross-Validation

Used to evaluate the performance of a model.
Data is divided into k subsets (folds).
Each fold is used once as the validation set, while the others are used for training.
Results are averaged to estimate the model's performance with limited data.

Ensemble Learning

Ensemble learning combines the predictions from multiple trained models.
Benefits include superior accuracy and generalization compared to relying on a single model.
Techniques like Bagging and Boosting create diverse sets of models, leading to effective ensemble learning

Deep vs Shallow Networks, Overview

Deeper networks generally perform better than shallower networks, especially for complex tasks, when the data includes intricate patterns or significant amounts of information.
However, there's a limit: beyond a certain layer count, additional layers might not significantly improve performance.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Summary

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are specialized for image data that process the image in local receptive fields.
CNNs excel at identifying patterns and features.
They efficiently extract features from image data and excel at tasks like image recognition and classification.

Convolutional Layer, Summary

CNNs employ filters to extract features, processing the image spatially.
The filter slides over the image applying a dot-product for feature extraction.
Activation functions (like ReLU) transform output values.

Fully Connected Layer

Fully connected layers are used in CNN architectures, and they combine information across all regions of an image.
They take the flattened information of the convolution layers as inputs.
They perform classification based on the input they receive.

Pooling Layer

Max pooling identifies the highest value in a local receptive field, summarizing the information that exists and making the model less computationally expensive.
Average pooling identifies the average value across a local receptive field and summarizing the information across all regions in an image.

Other Important Information

Hyperparameter Tuning: Finding the best combination of hyperparameters for a neural network such as batch sizes, learning rates, activation functions and optimizer types often involves experimentation.
Different Loss Functions: The selection of the loss function for neural networks depend on the nature of the task such as Classification, Regression, and Sequence modelling
Regularization: Regularization techniques can help prevent overfitting. Various forms of regularization exist including dropout, L1-norm regularization and L2-norm regularization
