Study Notes
- The text discusses the concept of neural networks and how they can be used to recognize handwritten digits.
- A neural network is inspired by the brain but can be thought of as a system of interconnected neurons, each holding a number between 0 and 1.
- The network starts with an input layer of 784 neurons, each representing a pixel in the input image, followed by two hidden layers and an output layer with ten neurons, each representing a digit.
- Activations in one layer determine activations in the next layer, with the goal being to recognize patterns and combine pixels into edges or edges into patterns or patterns into digits.
- The network has already been trained and when an image is fed in, the pattern of activations in the input layer causes specific patterns in the next layers, and the brightest neuron in the output layer represents the network's choice of digit for the image.
- The hope is that each neuron in the hidden layers corresponds to a specific sub-component of a digit, such as a loop or a line, and that recognizing these sub-components can be broken down into detecting smaller edges or patterns.
- To be able to capture these patterns, the network assigns weights to the connections between neurons and computes the weighted sum of their activations, with the goal of making the network expressive enough to recognize various pixel patterns and the patterns that edges can make.
- Recognizing loops and other patterns can be a useful tool for other image recognition tasks and can be applied to other areas of intelligent problem-solving that involve layers of abstraction.
- In the following video, the text will discuss how neural networks learn.- Neurons in a hidden layer of a neural network receive inputs from all pixels of the previous layer.
- Each connection between a neuron and a pixel in the previous layer has a weight and a bias.
- Weights determine what pixel pattern the neuron in the second layer is picking up on.
- Biases determine how high the weighted sum needs to be before the neuron starts getting meaningfully active.
- The activation of a neuron is a measure of how positive the relevant weighted sum is.
- Activations from one layer are organized into a column as a vector, and weights are organized as a matrix.
- Taking the weighted sum of the activations in the first layer according to these weights corresponds to one term in the matrix vector product.
- Biases are organized into a vector and added to the previous matrix vector product.
- Sigmoid function is applied to each specific component of the resulting vector inside.
- The network is just a function that takes in the outputs of all neurons in the previous layer and spits out a number between zero and one.
- The network involves 13,000 parameters in the forms of these weights and biases.
- Modern networks use ReLU (rectified linear unit) instead of sigmoid function for squishing the weighted sum into the range between zero and one.
- ReLU is a function where you're just taking a max of 0 and a, where a is given by the weighted sum explained in the video.
- ReLU was found to work well for deep neural networks, as it was easier to train compared to using sigmoids.
