Study Notes
Support Vector Machines (SVMs)
- SVMs find the linear classifier with the maximum margin, which is the distance between the separating hyperplane and the nearest data points.
- The maximum margin is achieved by minimizing the norm of the weight vector
wsubject to the constraint that the data points are classified correctly. - The SVM problem can be formulated as:
arg max min w,b t=1,...,nt |wT xt + b| / ||w||subject tost (wT xt + b) > 0for alltin1,...,nt - The hard SVM problem can be written as:
arg min ||w̃||subject tost (w̃T xt + b̃) ≥ 1for alltin1,...,nt - Figure 2 illustrates the concept of SVM with
r = |wT x + b| / ||w||
Activation Functions
- The ReLU activation function is defined as
σ(x) = max{x, 0} - The ReLU activation function with a parameter
α < 1is defined asσ(x) = max{x, αx} - The sigmoid activation function is defined as
σ(x) = (1 + exp(-x))^{-1}
Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP)
- A MLP is a neural network with multiple layers, where each layer is a parametric function
- The output of a MLP is the composition of the output of each layer
- The parameters of a MLP are the union of the parameters of each layer
- The architecture of a MLP refers to the specification of its layers
Numerical Gradient Computation
- The numerical gradient is an approximation of the partial derivative of the loss function with respect to the model parameters
- The numerical gradient can be computed using the finite difference approximation
- The numerical gradient is approximate and computationally expensive
Analytical Gradient Computation
- The analytical gradient is an exact computation of the partial derivative of the loss function with respect to the model parameters
- The analytical gradient can be computed using the chain rule
- The analytical gradient is exact and computationally efficient
Backpropagation
- Backpropagation is an algorithm for computing the gradients of the loss function with respect to the model parameters
- Backpropagation uses the chain rule to compute the gradients recursively
- The backpropagation algorithm consists of forward and backward passes
- The forward pass computes the output of the network, and the backward pass computes the gradients of the loss function with respect to the model parameters
