Study Notes
Neural Networks and Multi-Layer Perceptrons
- Perceptrons gained interest in the 1960s but had slow convergence, especially with small class margins or non-linearly separable classes
- Perceptrons guarantee separation for linearly separable classes but may converge slowly or not at all for non-linearly separable classes
- Gradient descent is an iterative optimization algorithm used in neural networks to find local minimums of cost functions
- Multilayer neural networks, such as multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), can solve problems that single-layer networks cannot, like the XOR problem
- Feed-forward neural networks (FFNN) consist of layers of neurons with synaptic strength (weights) and activation strength
- FFNN are used for regression or classification, with the output layer returning continuous values or probabilities using the softmax function
- Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have all-to-all connections and can express feedback or time progression
- Multi-layer neural networks can achieve non-linear separators and more complex tasks than single-layer networks
- Non-linear activation functions are introduced into multi-layer networks to enable more processing power than a single layer
- Backpropagation is used to compute gradients and train multi-layer neural networks
- Credit-assignment problem arises in multi-layer networks, as errors can be due to weights from both previous and downstream layers
- Hidden layers in multi-layer networks serve as feature detectors, capturing salient features of the training data through nonlinear transformations.
