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.
