Study Notes
Error and Perceptron Algorithm
- Error = classification error + margin error
- The perceptron algorithm minimizes an error function
- The algorithm can be seen as an iterative process that adjusts a random line to correctly classify misclassified points
Linear Classifiers
- A linear classifier is defined as f(x, w, b) = sign(w.x + b)
- w denotes the weights, x denotes the input, and b denotes the bias
- The classifier outputs +1 or -1 depending on the sign of w.x + b
Conditions for Optimal Separating Hyperplane
- w.xi + b ≥ 1 if yi = 1 (points in plus class)
- w.xi + b ≤ -1 if yi = -1 (points in minus class)
Computing Margin Width
- Margin width (M) can be computed using w and b
- The vector w is perpendicular to the Plus Plane
- The Plus-plane = {x : w.x + b = +1} and Minus-plane = {x : w.x + b = -1}
- Margin width is the distance between the Plus-plane and Minus-plane
Support Vector Machine – C Parameter
- C is the regularization parameter that controls the trade-off between the slack variable penalty and width of the margin
- Small C makes the constraints easy to ignore, leading to a large margin
- Large C allows the constraints to be hard, leading to a small margin
Linear Separability – Kernel Trick
- Mapping input data to a higher dimension can make a non-linearly separable problem linearly separable
- The kernel trick allows for efficient computation in high-dimensional spaces
- Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel is a type of kernel that only depends on the distance from a center point
