Study Notes
Image Captioning
- Produces descriptive sentences from images using input feature vectors derived from Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN).
- Examples of output from image captioning include concise phrases like “The dog is hiding.”
RNN Input Stages
- Init-Inject: Image vector serves as the RNN's initial hidden state vector, requiring size alignment with the RNN hidden state.
- Pre-Inject: Image vector treated as the first word in input sequence; requires size alignment with word vectors.
- Par-Inject: Inputs image vector simultaneously with word vectors, allowing varying vectors for words and not needing presence at every step.
- Merge: RNN does not access the image vector during processing; image is added to language model post-encoding.
Back-Propagation Techniques
- Back-Propagation Through Time (BPTT): Unfolds RNN into a feed-forward network to compute gradients across the entire sequence.
- Truncated BPTT: Processes forward and backward in chunks; retains hidden states across sequential batches.
RNN Architectures
- Multi-layer RNNs can solve complex sequential problems by stacking hidden layers.
- Bi-directional RNNs offer forward and reverse processing of sequences, enhancing features for applications like speech recognition.
Gradients in RNNs
- Vanishing Gradients: Gradients shrink to near-zero due to model complexity across many layers.
- Exploding Gradients: Gradients grow uncontrollably, leading to numerical instability during training.
Gradient Management
- Gradient Scaling: Normalizes gradient vector to a defined norm, often 1.0.
- Gradient Clipping: Restricts gradient values to remain within a specified range, improving training stability.
Gated RNNs
- Include Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) architectures, effective in managing long sequences by preventing vanishing gradients.
- LSTM utilizes a memory cell for maintaining information over time and has several gates (input, forget, output) to control data flow.
LSTM Specifics
- Employs a structure that allows the model to "forget" information and makes predictions based on retained state.
- Introduces concepts of Constant Error Flow, facilitating better gradient management.
GRU Overview
- Simplifies LSTM by combining the forget and input gates into a single update gate; merges cell and hidden states.
- Fewer parameters lead to reduced memory usage and potentially faster training, with competitive performance against LSTM.
Comparison Between LSTM and GRU
- GRUs are more efficient with memory and processing speed; LSTMs excel on larger datasets and longer sequences.
- Choice between GRU and LSTM depends on application constraints like memory and data sequence length.
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs)
- Designed for sequential data processing, RNNs can handle varying lengths and structures.
- Different from fully connected feed-forward networks, RNNs share weights over time steps, allowing them to learn sequential relationships.
Applications of RNNs
- Versatile use cases include language modeling, machine translation, stock market predictions, speech recognition, image caption generation, video tagging, text summarization, and medical data analysis.
Basic RNN Task
- Core functionality involves predicting future values based on past inputs, mapping previous states into fixed-length vectors to inform future predictions.
