Study Notes
- The text is study material for Essential Neural Networks by Ismail JAMIAI, dated November 4, 2024.
Introduction
- Machine Learning (ML) is prevalent in 2024, powering search engines, recommendation systems, and spam filters.
- ML enables cancer diagnosis, spam/virus protection and the function of autonomous cars.
- Many people misunderstand AI and are fearful of the unknown.
- The course aims to help programmers and data scientists understand the math behind neural networks to build deep learning (DL) models.
- The course covers core mathematical and computational techniques for DL algorithms.
- Focus is given to linear neural networks, multilayer perceptrons, and radial basis function networks, emphasizing how each model works
- Course will delve into math for normalization, multi-layered DL, forward/backpropagation, and optimization for building DL models.
- Convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), and generative adversarial networks (GAN) are explored.
- The course aims to build a foundation in neural networks and DL mathematical concepts for researching and building custom DL models.
Linear Neural Networks
- Chapter 1 reviews machine learning concepts, serving as a refresher for those with prior knowledge.
- Regression is used to explain relationships between independent and dependent variables.
- Understanding these concepts sets the stage for more advanced deep neural networks in later chapters.
- Topics include linear regression, polynomial regression, and logistic regression.
Linear Regression (First Linear Model)
- Imagine real estate agencies providing apartment data, including price (y) and living area (x), resulting in m examples.
- x^(i) represents the living area of the i-th example
- y^(i) represents the price of the i-th example
- By visualizing this dataset, a point cloud is obtained
- A linear model is developed from the collected data represented as: f(x) = ax + b where a and b are the model parameters.
- A good model minimizes errors between predictions f(x) and actual values y from the dataset.
- The machine's role is to determine the values of parameters a and b to fit a model well to the point cloud.
Define the Cost Function
- The Euclidean norm is a common choice in linear regression to measure errors between f(x) and y.
- The formula to express the error for the i-th example is error² = (f(x^(i)) – y^(i))².
- The 10th example apartment of 80m² where x^(10) = 80 has a price y^(10) = 1,000,000 Dhs and the model predicts f(x^(10)) = 1,000,020 Dhs, the error is 400.
- The Cost Function J(a, b) is defined as the average of all errors: J(a,b) = (1 / 2m) Σ error^(i) from i=1 to m, also called "Mean Squared Error."
- The equation can also be expressed as J(a,b) = (1 / 2m) Σ (f(x^(i)) - y^(i))² from i=1 to m.
Parameters Minimize the Cost Function
- Automates determining the parameters to minimize the Cost Function for the best model.
- Optimization algorithm called Gradient Descent is used to find the minimum.
- Gradient Descent finds the minimum of the Cost Function J(a, b), starting from random a and b coordinates.
- The steps are:
- Calculate the Cost Function's slope, the derivative of J(a, b).
- Move a distance α in the steepest slope direction, which changes parameters a and b.
- Repeat these steps until the minimum of J(a, b) is reached.
Calculation of partial derivatives
- Implemented with the Gradient Descent algorithm.
- The derivative of a function calculates the value of its slope at a point.
- The Cost Function formula: J(a,b) = (1 / 2m) Σ (ax^(i) + b - y^(i))² from i=1 to m.
- The derivative according to parameter a: δJ(a,b) / δa = (1 / m) Σ (ax^(i) + b - y^(i)) ⋅ x^(i) from i=1 to m.
- The derivative according to parameter b: δJ(a,b) / δb = (1 / m) Σ (ax^(i) + b - y^(i)) from i=1 to m.
Multiple Linear Regression
- Discusses cases with multiple independent variables to find the relationship with one dependent variable (multiple regression).
- In multiple regression, each independent variable impacts the predicted output.
- The inputs take the form: x = [x₁, ..., xₙ], where n is the number of independent variables.
- Instead of averaging/summing dependent variables to find ŷ, each input is weighed, which the model then learns from data points showing inputs' importance.
- Formula: ŷ = w₁x₁ + w₂x₂ + ... + wₙxₙ + b
- The equivalent formula: ŷ = b + Σ wᵢxᵢ from i=1 to n
- Can be rewritten simplified in matrix form: ŷ = wᵀx + b, where w and x are vectors.
- A loss function guides machines, indicating how far off the prediction is and the adjustment direction needed.
- Loss is the distance between prediction (ŷᵢ) and true value (yᵢ): Lᵢ(w, b) = (ŷᵢ - yᵢ)².
- The goal is to minimize the loss over all the data samples: L(w,b) = (1 / 2n) Σ (wxᵢ + b -yᵢ)² from i=1 to n.
- Training aims to find optimal parameters w,b: w, b = arg min L(w,b)
- Following linear regression, polynomial regression is introduced.
Polynomial Regression
- Linear regression is not a universal solution
- Many real-world relationships between variables are non-linear
- Polynomial regression is an alternative to linear regression which captures complexities like curves.
- The method applies different powers to the explanatory variable to discover non-linear problems.
- Formula: y = w₁x¹ + w₂x² + ... + wₙxⁿ + b
- An alternate expression for the above equation y = b + Σ wᵢxⁱ from i=1 to n.
- Polynomial regression can capture straight lines or generate second, third, or nth-order equations that fit the data points.
