Study Notes

Deep Learning - Neural Networks

Deep learning is a specialized form of machine learning that mimics the workings of the human brain.
It learns from vast amounts of data without explicit feature extraction, using neural networks.
Deep neural networks (DNNs) consist of multiple layers, automatically learning features as they process data.
Examples include convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image recognition, and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for language translation.
Deep learning models require substantial amounts of data and significant computational resources (e.g., GPUs) due to complexities.

Machine Learning vs. Deep Learning

Machine learning creates algorithms that allow computers to learn from data, making predictions or decisions based on predefined features.
It often needs human intervention.
Machine learning algorithms include decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), and linear regression.
Deep learning automatically learns features from data, mimicking the workings of the human brain

Neural Network Learning Process

Forward Propagation: Information flows from the input layer through hidden layers to the output layer. Input is multiplied by weights, summed, and processed by an activation function to determine if the neuron contributes to the next layer.
Backward Propagation: Neural networks learn by themselves. During backpropagation, the network evaluates its performance, using a loss function to measure the difference between predicted and actual outputs. This information then adjusts weights and biases to improve accuracy.

Activation Functions

Activation functions introduce non-linearity in the network, enabling DL models to perform complex operations.
Sigmoid: Non-linear function that outputs values between 0 and 1.
ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit): Non-linear function, with output values restricted to [0, infinity].

Loss Functions

Loss functions calculate the difference between predicted and actual outputs.
Used in regression: squared error, Huber loss
Used in binary classification: binary cross-entropy, hinge loss
Used in multi-class classification: multi-class cross-entropy, Kullback divergence

Optimizers

Optimizers adjust weights and parameters during training to minimize the loss function and improve prediction accuracy.
Gradient Descent: An iterative algorithm that iteratively adjusts weights and parameters to reach the minimum of the loss function.

Epochs

An epoch represents one complete forward and backward pass of the entire dataset through the neural network.
