Study Notes

Supervised Learning

Supervised learning involves a mapping function from input features (X) to output labels (Y)
Classification: Y is discrete, e.g., Y ∈ {1, 2, ..., k}
Regression: Y is continuous, e.g., Y ∈ R
Linear Separability: Ability to separate two classes of data points using a single hyperplane in a feature space.
A dataset is linearly separable if a hyperplane exists that places all data points of one class on one side and the other class on the opposite side.
w is the weight vector (defining the hyperplane's orientation).
x is the input feature vector.
b is the bias term (defining the hyperplane's position).
For a dataset to be linearly separable, there must exist a weight vector w and a bias b that satisfies: yi(w•xi + b) > 0 for all i.

Linear Classification

Perceptron Algorithm: A foundational algorithm for binary classification. It aims to find a linear decision boundary that separates two classes. It iteratively updates weights based on misclassifications.
f(x) = sign(w•x + b)
w ∈ Rn is the weight vector.
b is the bias term.
Perceptron Algorithm Update Rule: When (xi, yi) is misclassified, update weights and bias: w ← w + nyixi, b ← b + nyi
where n is the learning rate.

Linear Classification (SVM)

Support Vector Machine (SVM): Aims to find the maximum margin hyperplane that separates two classes with the largest possible margin.
The margin is the distance between the decision boundary and the closest data points from either class.
For correctly classified points, yi(w•xi + b) ≥ 1, for all i.
The goal is to maximize the margin, which is equivalent to minimizing ||w||^2 / 2.

Linear Regression

Linear regression models the relationship between input features (X ∈ Rnxp) and target values (y ∈ Rn) as: y = Xβ + e.
X is the design matrix of input features.
β is the vector of coefficients.
e is the error term.
To estimate β, minimize the sum of squared residuals: minβ ||y – Xβ||^2 = minβ Σ(yi – Xβi)^2, i=1 to n

Weighted Least Square

In WLS, observations have non-constant variance. The goal is to account for heteroscedasticity giving different weights to different observations, where higher variance gets lower weight.

Ridge Regression

In OLS, we aim to minimize the residual sum of squares: minβ ||y – Xβ||^2.
Multicollinearity can cause instability in the inverse (XTX)^-1 making OLS unreliable.
Ridge Regression addresses multicollinearity by adding a regularization term that penalizes large values of β: minβ ||y – Xβ||^2 + λ||β||^2.
λ ≥ 0 is the regularization parameter that controls the amount of regularization applied.
λ = 0 gives the OLS solution.
λ > 0 penalizes large coefficients, reducing overfitting and addressing multicollinearity.

Limitations of the Perceptron

Requirement: Linear Separability: The perceptron algorithm only converges if the data is linearly separable.
Non-linear Separability: Fails on datasets (like XOR) where no linear hyperplane can separate the classes. (May run indefinitely)
No Margin Optimization: The perceptron does not seek the hyperplane with the largest margin, potentially leading to poor generalization.

Kernel Functions

Additivity: The sum of two valid kernels is also a valid kernel.
Scalar Multiplication: The product of a valid kernel and a positive scalar is also a valid kernel.
Product of Kernels: The product of two valid kernels is also a valid kernel.
Exponentiation: Raising a valid kernel to a positive power yields another valid kernel.

Kernel Least Squares

In linear least squares, the model is limited to linear relationships between input features and outputs. To handle non-linear relationships, a feature map (φ(x)) maps the input data into a higher-dimensional space.
minβ ||y – Φ(X)β||^2

k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN)

k-NN is an intuitive, simple, but powerful non-parametric algorithm for both classification and regression tasks.
k-NN stores the entire training dataset and makes predictions for new data points by comparing them to stored instances. No explicit training occurs.
k-NN predictions are based on the proximity of new instances to existing ones.

k-Nearest Neighbor - Classification

In classification, k-NN assigns a class label to the query point (xq) based on the most frequent label (the mode) among its k-nearest neighbors.

k-Nearest Neighbor - Regression

In regression, k-NN predicts the output based on the average of the target values of the k-nearest neighbors for a query point (xq).
To improve performance, weighted k-NN may be used where each neighbor's influence is weighted by its distance from the query point.

Decision Tree

A decision tree is a simple supervised classification model used to classify a single discrete target feature.
Each internal node performs a Boolean test on an input feature. The edges are labeled with the values of that input feature.
Each leaf node specifies a value for the target feature.

Decision Tree - Splitting Criteria

Information Gain: measures the reduction in uncertainty after testing a feature. High gain is preferred.
Gini Index: Computations are efficient. Preferred in imbalanced datasets. Measures the probability of misclassifying a randomly chosen element from a node. Low index is preferred.

Pre-Pruning (Decision Tree)

Stopping tree growth early based on criteria that can prevent overfitting
Maximum Depth: Predefined maximum depth for the tree.
Minimum Examples at a Leaf: Predefined minimum number of examples needed at a leaf node.
Minimal Information Gain: Splitting is only done if the associated information gain exceeds a pre-defined threshold value (measure of improvement).
Reduction in Training Error: Stop splitting if the reduction in training error is below a pre-defined threshold

Post-Pruning (Decision Tree)

Grow the full tree first and trim it afterwards.
Restrict attention to nodes that only have leaf nodes as descendants.
If expected information gain below a threshold, delete children of this node and make a majority decision at that node.

Feedforward Neural Network (FNN)

Neural networks map input features (X ∈ Rn) to output labels (Y).
Classification: Y is discrete (e.g., Y ∈ {1, 2, ..., k}).
Regression: Y is continuous (e.g., Y ∈ R).
Key components: Layers (depth), Width (number of neurons per layer), Activation function, Loss function (e.g., Mean Squared Error [MSE], Cross-entropy).

Feedforward Neural Network - Backpropagation

Gradient descent is used to find optimal weights and biases (iteratively) in FNN.
Optimizers such as Stochastic Gradient Descent(SGD), SGD with momentum, and Adam are used.

Feedforward Neural Network - Activation Functions

Activation functions introduce non-linearity enabling networks to approximate complex relationships.

CNN

CNNs are neural networks with convolutional layers.
Convolution layers extract local features.
These layers learn filters.
Filters are repeatedly slid across the image.
Pooling layers reduce dimensionality.
CNNs employ a more structured way to process images by using spatial information and sharing weights.

RNN

RNNs are neural networks designed for processing sequences.
Key idea: use a hidden state to capture information about the past.
Layers use shared parameters.
Recurrent means layers are recurrently influenced by the past to make the output.

RNN Variants: Different Number of Hidden Layers

RNNs are typically deep nets where the layers share weights. Deeper nets tend to perform better, based on experiments

RNN: Vanishing Gradient Problem

Problem: training to learn long term dependencies is difficult because of the vanishing gradient problem. (Weights are often too small)
Exploding gradient leads to difficulty during training.
