Study Notes
Neural Networks
- Neural networks are inspired by the structure of the human brain.
- The brain utilizes neurons, each communicating with other neurons through connections.
- Neural networks employ simplified neuron-like processing units.
- By combining these units, complex computations can be achieved.
Linear And Multi-Layer Perceptrons
- A Linear Perceptron is a simplified artificial version of a biological neuron.
- It acts as a fundamental building block in deep learning.
- A Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) involves connecting multiple units into layers, forming a feed-forward neural network.
- Each layer connects input units to output units, often forming fully connected layers where all inputs connect to all outputs.
- The output units are determined by a function of the input units.
- An MLP is a multilayer network utilizing fully connected layers.
Activation Functions
- Activation functions introduce non-linearity into neural networks.
- Common activation functions include:
- Logistic: This suffers from the vanishing gradient problem.
- Tanh: An improvement over the logistic function.
- ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit): Widely used in deep neural networks.
Feature Learning
- Neural networks can learn features from the data they are trained on.
- By applying non-linear transformations to the input data, they create a new feature space.
Training Neural Networks
- Forward Propagation: Input data is passed through hidden layers to reach the output layer.
- Backward Propagation: Adjusts the hidden weights based on the derived error, used to calculate the cost function.
- Optimization techniques like gradient descent are applied.
Deep Learning
- Deep learning involves stacking numerous layers of abstraction within a neural network.
- Each layer gradually discovers significant features throughout the training process.
- By performing non-linear transformations, the input data is projected into a feature space.
Impact of Hidden Layers
- Increasing the number of hidden layers can lead to:
- Overfitting: The model becomes overly tailored to the training data, potentially performing poorly on unseen data.
- Underfitting: The model is too simple to capture the underlying patterns in the data.
Model Complexity and Regularization
- Model complexity arises from the number of hidden layers and units.
- Regularization techniques help to prevent overfitting and improve model generalization.
Model Fitting
- Underfitting: The model is too simple and cannot capture the data's variations.
- Overfitting: The model fits the training data too closely, resulting in poor performance on unseen data.
- Appropriate Fitting: The model strikes a balance between underfitting and overfitting, achieving optimal performance.
Addressing Overfitting
- Techniques to mitigate overfitting include:
- Cross-validation: Evaluating the model's performance on unseen portions of the data.
- Early stopping: Monitoring the model's performance throughout training and stopping it when the performance on a validation set starts to decline.
- Dimension reduction: Reducing the number of features used in the model.
- Data augmentation: Increasing the size and diversity of the training data by generating new variations of the existing data.
- Regularization: Adding penalty terms to the cost function that discourage the model from becoming overly complex.
Regularization Methods
- Different regularization methods are used to prevent overfitting:
- L1 regularization (Lasso): Adds a penalty proportional to the absolute value of the weights.
- L2 regularization (Ridge): Adds a penalty proportional to the square of the weights.
- Elastic net: Combines L1 and L2 regularization.
- Dropout regularization: Randomly sets a fraction of neurons to zero during training, forcing other neurons to learn more robust features.
