Study Notes
Generalization
- Given a new input, what is the output?
- The goal is to learn from data and create a function that can predict an output for a new, unseen input.
Compression
- Data is compressed into a model.
- This allows the model to generalize to new data.
Learning
- Learn from given input and output data.
- Aim to extract meaningful structure from the provided data.
Seen and Unseen Data
- The model is trained on "seen" data.
- We want the model to generalize to unseen data.
Projection
- The model projects the high-dimensional input space into a lower-dimensional space.
Reconstruction
- From the compressed representation, the model reconstructs the original data.
Linear Regression
- Hypothesize a linear relationship: The model assumes the relationship between input and output is linear.
- Cost Function: Quantifies the error between the model's predictions and the actual outputs.
- Gradient Descent: Optimizes the model's parameters to minimize the cost function by repeatedly adjusting parameters in the direction of steepest descent.
- Optimal Predictor: The model finds the best parameters that minimize the cost function.
- Predict Unseen Data: Utilize the trained model to predict outputs for new, previously unseen inputs.
Linear Interpolation
- Given a dataset with inputs and outputs, finds a linear function that best approximates the relationship between the data points.
Polynomial Interpolation
- Find a polynomial function that precisely passes through all the data points.
Feature Engineering
- Create a feature map (Ï•(x)) to transform the original input features into a new feature space.
- This transformation can improve the model's ability to capture complex relationships.
Choosing the Feature Vector
- Finding the right feature vector is crucial for generalization.
- It involves a trade-off between bias and variance:
- Underfitting: High bias, too simple of a model
- Overfitting: High variance, too complex of a model
Evaluating Model Performance
- Separate data into training and test sets.
- Evaluate the model's performance on the unseen test data.
- If the model performs well on the test set, it indicates good generalization.
Variance Bias Trade-Off
- Complexity of the model influences generalization.
- High complexity leads to high variance and may overfit.
- Low complexity leads to high bias and may underfit.
Other Hyperparameters
- Besides the feature vector, other hyperparameters influence the model's generalization:
- Number of Epochs: Determines how many times the training algorithm cycles through the entire dataset.
- Step Size: Controls the magnitude of parameter updates during training.
- Optimizing these hyperparameters improves generalization.
