    Study Notes

    A TWO-LAYER NEURAL NETWORK

    • Inputs are represented as vectors
    • The network has an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer
    • Each node represents a neuron
    • Neurons calculate an output based on a weighted sum of inputs and an activation function

    NN REPRESENTATION

    • Each node in the hidden layer performs a computation
    • Weights (w) and biases (b) are applied to the inputs
    • The output of each node is an activation value (a)
    • The output layer predicts the output based on the activations of the hidden layer

    COMPUTING THE OUTPUT

    • Vectorized representation is used for efficiency
    • Weights are stored in a matrix (W)
    • Biases are stored in a vector (b)
    • The output (a) is calculated by multiplying the input (x) with the weight matrix (W) and adding the bias vector (b)

    VECTORIZING ACROSS MULTIPLE EXAMPLES

    • The process can be vectorized for multiple examples
    • This allows for parallel computations and faster training

    OTHER ACTIVATION FUNCTIONS

    • tanh (tangent hyperbolic) function:
      • Shifted version of the sigmoid function
      • Outputs values between +1 and -1
      • Helps with zero-centered outputs, making learning easier in subsequent layers
      • Exception: Binary classifiers use the sigmoid function
    • ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) function:
      • Outputs the input value if it's positive, otherwise outputs zero
      • Derivative is 1 for positive inputs and 0 for negative inputs
      • Prevents the vanishing gradient problem
      • Can lead to "dead" nodes if the input is always negative

    VANISHING GRADIENT PROBLEM

    • Occurs during backpropagation when the product of derivatives becomes close to zero
    • This is caused by the use of sigmoid and tanh activation functions
    • Results in slow learning or model failing to learn

    OVERCOMING THE VANISHING GRADIENT PROBLEM

    • Solutions:
      • ReLU activation function: Avoids small gradients
      • Weight initialization: Prevents biases towards zero gradients

    DERIVATIVES OF ACTIVATION FUNCTIONS

    • Sigmoid function derivative: The derivative is the product of the sigmoid function and its complement
    • tanh function derivative: The derivative is 1 minus the square of the tanh function
    • ReLU function derivative: The derivative is 1 for positive inputs and 0 for negative inputs

    BACKPROPAGATION EQUATIONS FOR A TWO-LAYERED NN

    • Calculate dz, dW, db for both the hidden layer and the output layer
    • These derivatives are used to adjust the weights and biases during training

    HOW TO INITIALIZE WEIGHTS?

    • **Logistic Regression:` Weights can be initialized to 0.
    • Neural Networks: Initializing weights to 0 creates symmetry and hinders learning
    • Solution: Random Initialization
    • To avoid this, weights are randomly initialized using the np.random.randn() function
    • Random initialization does not affect biases

    WHAT IS A DEEP NEURAL NETWORK

    • Deep networks are neural networks with multiple hidden layers
    • Shallow networks have only one hidden layer
    • Deep networks allow for learning more complex patterns and relationships

    NEURAL NETWORKS NOTATIONS

    • Layer 0 represents the input layer
    • Layers 1, 2, 3... represent hidden layers
    • The final layer represents the output layer

    FORWARD PROPAGATION IN DEEP NETS

    • Forward propagation calculates the activations for each layer
    • Input (a[l-1]) is multiplied by weights (w[l]) and biases (b[l])
    • The result is passed through the activation function to produce the output (a[l])
    • This process is repeated for all layers

    MATRICES AND THEIR DIMENSIONS

    • Matrices represent weights and activations
    • The dimensions of these matrices are crucial for computations
    • The dimensions of the matrices need to be compatible for multiplication and addition

    DIMENSIONS FOR VECTORIZED IMPLEMENTATIONS

    • The dimensions of matrices (W, b, x, Z, a) are important for vectorized implementation
    • The dimensions should be consistent throughout the computations

    WHY DEEP NETWORKS ARE BETTER - INTUITIONS

    • Deep networks can learn more complex patterns and relationships
    • They can approximate functions more efficiently than shallow networks

    WHY DEEP NETWORKS ARE BETTER

    • A deep network with a small number of layers can represent functions that would require much more units in shallower networks

    FORWARD AND BACKWARD FUNCTIONS

    • The forward function takes (a[l-1]) as input and outputs (a[l]), caching (z[l], w[l], b[l])
    • The backward function takes (da[l]) as input and outputs (da[l-1], dW[l], db[l])

    FORWARD AND BACKWARD FUNCTIONS LAYER L

    • Forward Propagation:
      • Takes (a[l-1]) as input
      • Outputs (a[l])
      • Caches (z[l], w[l], b[l])
    • Backward Propagation:
      • Takes (da[l]) as input
      • Outputs (da[l-1], dW[l], db[l])
      • Calculates (dz[l])

    FORWARD AND BACKWARD FUNCTIONS

    • Forward propagation progresses through all layers, calculating activation values
    • Backward propagation traverses layers in reverse, calculating derivatives of the loss function

    SUMMARIZING

    • Forward propagation calculation for layer l involves input, output and caching
    • Backward propagation for layer l involves input, output, and derivative calculations

    SUMMARIZING

    • Backward propagation uses chain rule to update weights
    • ReLU activation function helps minimize the vanishing gradient problem

    APPLIED DEEP LEARNING IS A VERY EMPIRICAL PROCESS

    • Experimentation is essential to find optimal parameters for deep learning

    WHAT DOES ALL THESE HAVE TO DO WITH THE HUMAN BRAIN???

    • Neural networks are inspired by the structure and function of the human brain
    • They are not a perfect model of the brain, but they share some similarities
