Study Notes
Feature Learning with Convolutions
- Convolutional layers learn features directly from data, unlike hand-crafted features
- The last layer of a network provides a rich representation of the input
- A 1-D convolution layer computes a dot product between a filter and a window of the input
- The filter slides along the input, producing an output
- Example filter: 1 1 1 / Input: (0.1, 2, 3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 1)
- This smooths the input, averaging every three points
- Different filters detect various things like peaks, or values
- The output values show activation strength at specific positions in the input
- The output size differs from the input size; you can start applying the filter from the second element of the input
Embeddings
- Neural networks work with continuous data
- However, you can have discrete data, like tokens in sequences, which need converting into continuous vectors: embeddings
- Each discrete input has a corresponding vector representation
- Embeddings are either fixed or learned by the network
- An embedding sequence constructs a matrix of token embeddings
- This matrix has a shape of (vocabulary size, embedding size)
- If a sequence has 'L' tokens, the shape of the representation is (L, embedding size)
- Combining these representations into one sequence representation can be done using aggregation techniques like averaging
- Max coordinate-wise embedding can also be useful for final sequence representation
- For each column in the matrix, the element with the largest value (max) is taken
- The order of tokens in a sequence doesn't affect the final representation
Sequence Convolutions
- A filter with shape (dimension, kernel size) is applied to embedded tokens
- The dot product is taken vertically between the filter and the sequential embeddings
- The input sequence has 'L' tokens of dimension 'd'
- Multiple filters in parallel create a richer representation
- The filter can be seen as an n-gram for various positions in the sequence (e.g., 3 tokens to find a pattern)
Practical Considerations of Convolutions
- Convolutions work well for local phenomena
- More layers are needed to capture local representations
- Striding speeds calculation by skipping some input values (to avoid redundancies)
- Pooling and striding can down-sample and then up-sample data for higher-level representations (U-net like structures)
- Striding means skipping values in the input while applying a filter
2-D Convolutions
- Special case of convolution for grid-like data (images)
- Filters slide across the grid, producing outputs
- Alternating convolutional and pooling layers help abstract features as you layer applications
- Layers gradually become more abstract across the network
- The representations become more abstract and global with more convolutional layers
