Study Notes
Error Measures
- Error measures are user-specified functions (e(h(x), f(x)))
- The function takes two inputs: a hypothesis (h(x)) and a target function (f(x))
- The function outputs a positive or negative integer (+1, -1), representing correctness.
- In-sample error (Ein(h)) is calculated averaging errors on training examples.
- Out-of-sample error (Eout(h)) is calculated by calculating errors across all data points.
Noisy Targets
- Target values (y) are noisy, drawn from a probability distribution (P(y|x))
- y is determined by a target function(f(x)).
- Training examples (X1, Y1), ..., (XN,YN) are generated from the joint probability P(x,y) = P(x)P(y|x)
Training vs Testing
- The concept of training and testing is fundamental to machine learning.
- Error on training examples (Ein) can be used to evaluate models locally
- Error on all data points (Eout) reflects performance over unseen data
- The relationship between error on training examples and the error across all examples (Ein, Eout) is crucial.
The Final Exam (Mathematical Relationships)
- The probability that Ein and Eout differ by more than a threshold (
) is bounded by an expression involving a number of terms ("M") - This bound directly influences generalization ability.
Where did the M come from?
- "M" represents the number of bad events.
- Bad events are cases where Ein and Eout significantly differ.
- A calculation using the union bound is used to determine the value for M.
Improvement on M
- Bad events are often very overlapping.
- Ein and Eout vary based on changes in areas classified as +1 and -1.
- Ein reflects changes in the labels of data points.
Replacing M with Other Values
- The approach considers a finite set of input points instead of the entire input space
- M may be replaced by the number of dichotomies (mini-hypotheses).
Dichotomies: Mini-Hypotheses
- A hypothesis in terms of input to output (h:X → {-1,+1})
- A dichotomy describes specific assignments for input variables (h: {x1, x2, ..., xN} → {-1,+1}).
- The number of possible hypotheses (|H|) can be infinite.
- The number of dichotomies possible for a finite set of input points, |H(x1, x2 , ..., xN)|, is at most 2N.
- Dichotomies are candidate replacements for M.
The Growth Function (mH(N))
- mH(N) = max|H(x1, ..., xN)|
- The growth function is crucial for relating hypothesis set size to training data size.
- The growth function must lie within polynomial bounds to ensure generalizability.
Applying mH(N) Definition - Perceptrons
- Specific examples illustrating mH(N) for 2D perceptrons on datasets of varying sizes (N=3, N=4).
Outline Review
- Review of training to testing process
- Illustrative examples are key for understanding.
- A crucial concept is a break point.
Example 1: Positive Rays
- h(x) is -1 to the left of a and +1 to the right.
- h(x) = sign(x-a)
- mH(N) = N + 1, with a break point k of 2.
Example 2: Positive Intervals
- h(x) = -1 on one side of a given interval, and +1 on the other.
- Number of possible interval endpoints
- mH(N) = (N2 / 2) + (N / 2) + 1, with a break point k of 3.
Example 3: Convex Sets
- A hypothesis is +1 for one set of points and -1 for another, with the boundary being the dividing line of the two sets.
- A convex set is a set of points where all points between two points in the set are also within the set.
- mH(N) = 2N, and break point k is ∞.
The 3 Growth Functions
- Summary of growth functions for three types of hypotheses: positive rays, positive intervals, and convex sets.
Back to the Big Picture
- Relationship between the probability of error for training and testing set
- If mH(N) is polynomial in N then the probability is bounded by a polynomial (desirable).
Puzzle
- A specific schematic illustrating a conceptual puzzle.
Break Point of H
- Definition of a break point (k) for a hypothesis set (H).
- k is a break point if a data set of size k is not shattered (all potential outcomes between 1 and -1 are not possible given the hypothesis space).
Break Point - The 3 Examples
- The specific break points for positive rays, intervals, and convex sets.
Main Result
- Summary of the relationship between a break point for a hypothesis set and the growth function.
- If there is no break point for a hypothesis set, the growth function is exponential in N. If there is a break point, then the growth function is polynomial in N.
