    Study Notes

    Neural Networks (NN)

    • A neural network (NN) is a network of interconnected neurons.
    • Neurons are simple processing units.
    • The network structure is inspired by biological systems but is highly abstracted.
    • The expressive power of the network comes from its architecture, not individual neurons.
    • Networks are trained with data.

    Units and Layers

    • Artificial neurons (units) aggregate weighted inputs plus a bias.
    • The equation for a unit is: y = σ(∑Wi xi + b).
    • A linear unit is a simple weighted sum.
    • A non-linear unit applies an activation function (ReLU, Sigmoid, or Tanh).

    Activation Functions

    • Sigmoid: σ(x) = 1 / (1 + e^-x)
    • Tanh: tanh(x)
    • ReLU: max(0, x)
    • Leaky ReLU: max(0.1x, x)
    • Maxout: max(w1x + b1, w2x + b2)
    • ELU: x if x ≥ 0, a(e^x - 1 )otherwise

    Layers

    • Dense (fully connected): Each unit is connected to all units in the previous layer. Units have separate parameters.
    • Convolutional: Uses shared weights. Important for images. Their units have the same arity and share parameters.
    • Recurrent (RNN, LSTM): Maintains a memory/state across time steps.

    Computational Capabilities

    • Continuous and parallel processing.
    • Universal Approximation Theorem: NNs with a single hidden layer can approximate any function.
    • Deep networks improve expressiveness (feature hierarchy).

    Training Neural Networks

    • Supervised Learning: Learning from labeled data.
    • Unsupervised Learning: Learning patterns without labels.
    • Training: Optimizing model weights to minimize error.
    • Loss Functions: Define the quantity to be minimized. Quantifies the difference between the predicted output and the ground truth.

    Gradient Descent

    • Gradient Descent (GD): Optimizes weights by computing gradients and iteratively updating them.
    • Stochastic GD (SGD): Uses one sample at a time.
    • Mini-batch GD: Uses small batches (common in DL).
    • Momentum, Adam, RMSprop: Advanced optimizers for stability.
    • Backpropagation: Uses the chain rule to propagate errors backward and adjust weights.

    Models as Computation Graphs

    • Forward Pass: Data flows from input to output.
    • Backward Pass: Gradients propagate backward based on the chain rule.
    • Implemented in DL frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch).

    Other Relevant Concepts

    • Hyperparameters vs. Parameters:
      • Parameters: Learned during training (e.g., weights, biases).
      • Hyperparameters: Set before training (e.g., learning rate, number of layers).
    • Indeterminism: Random Initialization affects training & batch order shuffling changes optimization path.

    Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)

    • Specialized for image processing.
    • Preserve spatial structure.
    • Local receptive fields used for feature detection.

    CNN Architecture - Key Concepts

    • Key Hyperparameters:
      • Kernel size (e.g. 3x3, 5x5).
      • Stride (step size of the filter).
      • Padding (handling image edges).

    Activation Functions (CNNs)

    • ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit).
    • Commonly used to prevent the vanishing gradient problem.
    • Better than sigmoid and Tanh for preventing saturation/slow learning.

    Pooling Layer (CNNs)

    • Max-pooling. Select the maximum value from a small region preserving dominant features.
    • Average-pooling –reduces computation, helps prevent overfitting, model is translation invariant.

    Fully Connected Layer (CNNs)

    • Flattens feature maps.
    • Connected to dense layers for classification.
    • Traditional CNNs end with a softmax layer for multi-class classification.

    CNN Properties

    • Weight sharing: Filters shared across spatial positions (parameter optimization & global feature learning).
    • Translation invariance: CNNs can recognise objects irrespective of their position in the image.
    • Feature hierarchy: Earlier layers detect simple features (e.g. edges), deeper layers detect more complex structures (objects).

    Training CNNs

    • CNNs use backpropagation and gradient descent.
    • Steps involve forward pass, calculating loss, and backpropagation.

    Famous CNN Architectures

    Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)

    • GANs generate new data samples that resemble real data.
    • Two networks compete: Generator (creates fake data) and Discriminator (distinguishes).
    • Goal: Train Generator to generate data indistinguishable from real data.
    • Training involves an iterative adversarial process.

    GAN Training Algorithm

    • Iterate over the following steps:
      • Sample from real data or the prior distribution.
      • Generate fake samples.
      • Train D (discriminator) to maximize the probability of classifying real vs. fake correctly.
      • Train G (generator) to minimize the probability of the discriminator correctly classifying fake as real.

    Common Problems in GAN Training
