Study Notes
- In this second lecture, the focus is on sequence modeling and building neural networks for handling and learning from sequential data.
- Previously, Alexander introduced the basics of neural networks, starting from perceptrons to feed forward models.
- Sequential data processing requires a different way of implementing and building neural networks due to its unique characteristics.
- Motivation for sequential data begins with a simple example: predicting the next position of a moving ball based on its past trajectory.
- A random guess about the ball's next position is unlikely when given no prior information about its motion history.
- However, with past location information, the problem becomes easier, and the prediction is more accurate in most cases.
- Sequential data is prevalent in various aspects of life, and understanding its importance is essential for building effective models.- Sequential data is data that has a temporal or sequential component, such as audio waves, medical signals, financial markets, biological sequences, or patterns in the climate.
- Sequential modeling is used to handle inputs or data that have a temporal or sequential component.
- Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are a type of neural network used for sequential modeling.
- RNNs maintain a hidden state and update it at each time step based on the input and previous hidden state, allowing them to process sequences of data.
- The recurrence relation captures the cyclic temporal dependency and is the intuitive foundation behind RNNs.
- RNNs can be used for tasks such as text language processing, generating one prediction given a sequence of text, or generating text given an image.
- Classification and regression are types of problem definitions in machine learning, where RNNs can be used to handle sequential data.
- The perceptron is a single-layer neural network introduced in lecture one, but it does not handle temporal processing or sequential information.
- To process sequences of data, we can extend the perceptron by making copies of the network for each time step and updating the hidden state at each time step.
- However, this approach does not capture the temporal dependence between inputs and cannot handle dependencies that occur at distant time steps.
- Recurrence relations are used to link the network's computations at a particular time step to the prior history and memory from previous time steps.
- RNNs use a recurrence relation to update the hidden state at each time step, allowing them to maintain the state and handle dependencies between time steps.
- RNNs can be implemented using TensorFlow, a machine learning library, and the backpropagation algorithm can be used to train them.
- RNNs have limitations, including an encoding bottleneck, slow processing, and limited memory capacity.
- Recent research has focused on moving beyond the notion of step-by-step recurrent processing to build more powerful architectures for processing sequential data.
- Attention is a powerful concept in modern deep learning and AI, which allows the network to identify and attend to the most important parts of an input.
- Attention can be used in large neural networks, such as Transformers, to extract relevant information from sequences of data.
- The key idea behind attention is to find the similarity between a query and the key, and extract the related value.
- Positional encoding is used to encode positional information that captures the relative relationships in terms of order within a sequence.
- RNNs use self-attention to compare the query, key, and value and compute a similarity score, which defines how the components of the input data are related to each other.
- The attention score can be used to define weights that define the relationship between the sequential components of the sequential data.
- Words in a sequence that are related to each other should have high attention weights.
- The softmax function is used to constrain the attention scores to be between 0 and 1.- The self-attention mechanism is a key component of Transformers, used to eliminate recurrence and attend to important features in input data.
- Input data is transformed into key, query, and value matrices through neural network layers and positional encodings.
- Self-attention weight scores are computed through dot product operation to determine important features.
- Each self-attention head extracts different information from input data, and multiple heads can be linked together to form larger networks.
- Self-attention is a powerful mechanism used in various fields, including language models, biology and medicine, and computer vision.
- Self-attention is the backbone of some of the most powerful neural networks and deep learning models.
- Self-attention has transformed the field of computer vision, allowing for rich representations of complex high-dimensional data.
- In this lecture, the foundations of neural networks, RNNs, training, and moving beyond recurrence to self-attention were discussed.
- The lecture concluded with an introduction to the self-attention mechanism and its applications in sequence modeling for deep learning.
- The session included a lab portion and office hours for asking questions.
