    Study Notes

    Lecture 3 - CS7015

    • Topic: Sigmoid neurons, gradient descent, feed forward neural networks.

    • Module Acknowledgments: Ideas were borrowed from videos by Ryan Harris (YouTube) and a book (URL provided). The presenter apologizes for any missed acknowledgments.

    • Sigmoid Neurons: Previously, Boolean functions were covered. Now the focus shifts to arbitrary functions, where y = f(x), with x in Rn and y in R.

    • Oil Drilling Example: The example of oil exploration demonstrates how multiple factors (salinity, density, pressure) can influence a decision related to oil drilling investment. These factors (x1, x2, ..., xn) are represented as real numbers in the input vector x in Rn and provide the input for determining the outcome y.

    • Perceptron Function:

    • The weighted sum of inputs (z) acts as a measure for deciding outcomes.

    • If z > w0 the outcome is 1.

    • If z < w0, the outcome is 0.

    • Perceptron Limitations: The perceptron function leads to harsh decisions based on small changes in inputs. This is illustrated with an example of movie critics ratings, where a slightly different rating can lead to drastically different outcomes based on threshold.

    • Sigmoid Function:

    • A smoother, gentler alternative to the perceptron's sharp decision boundaries; these functions are smooth, continuous and differentiable.

    • The formula for a sigmoid function is provided.

    • The value of y from a sigmoid function is always between 0 and 1.

    • Interpretation: Values generated from a sigmoid function can be interpreted as probabilities, and these values can be useful, e.g., in movie preferences, and help avoid the harsh conclusions based on a fixed threshold.

    • Course Focus: The course emphasizes the use of smooth, continuous and differentiable functions in calculus. This is because those types of functions are easier to analyze and operate on.
