Study Notes
Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)
- RNN is commonly used for sequential data processing, such as in time series, text, and audio.
- RNN is related to feedforward neural networks, but it also has backward connections.
- Effective sequence models in practical applications are gated RNNs, such as LSTMs.
- The simplest RNN consists of a single neuron that receives inputs, produces an output, and sends that output back to itself.
- A more general RNN layer comprises multiple neurons receiving inputs, where each neuron receives the input vector x(t) and the output vector from the previous time step y(t-1).
RNN Memory Cell
- The memory cell is a fundamental component of RNNs, responsible for maintaining state across time steps.
- A memory cell preserves state h(t-1), takes input x(t), generates output y(t), and updates the state to h(t).
- The state update and output functions involve matrix multiplications, tanh and softmax activation functions, and bias terms.
RNN State Update and Output Formula
- State Update: ℎ𝑡 = 𝑔 𝑊𝑥𝑡 + 𝑈ℎ𝑡−1 + 𝑏ℎ (where g is the tanh function)
- Output Vector: 𝑦𝑡 = 𝑓 𝑉ℎ𝑡 + 𝑏𝑦 (where f is the softmax function)
RNN Language Model (RNNLM)
- RNNLM predicts the next word in a sequence, based on past context.
- Input: a sequence of words, each represented as a one-hot vector.
- Output: a probability distribution over the vocabulary.
- RNNLM involves an input embedding matrix E ∈ ℝ𝑑ℎ×|V| which maps word inputs to vector representations.
- Two primary training techniques for RNNLM are:
- Self-supervision: the model predicts the next word based on past context, using the text itself as training data.
- Teacher forcing: the model receives the correct past sequence as input, improving training efficiency.
RNN Language Model for Sequence Classification
- RNNLM can be used for sequence classification tasks, where the network's final hidden state is passed through a feedforward neural network to predict the classification output.
Stacked RNNs
- Stacked RNNs improve performance by stacking multiple RNN layers on top of each other.
- Each layer receives input from the previous layer, as well as the input at the current time step.
- The stacked structure allows for the network to learn representations at different levels of abstraction across layers.
Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)
- LSTM addresses the vanishing/exploding gradient problem in RNNs.
- LSTM introduces gates for controlling the flow of information through the network.
- The gates help LSTM learn long-term dependencies in sequential data.
Attention Mechanism
- Attention mechanism allows the model to focus on relevant parts of the input sequence.
- It assigns weights to different parts of the input, reflecting their importance for the current prediction.
Transformer
- Transformer is a powerful architecture that uses self-attention to process sequential data.
- Transformer does not rely on recurrent connections, making it more efficient and capable of handling long sequences.
Transformer Components
- Self-Attention: allows the model to relate different parts of the input sequence to each other.
- Transformer Blocks: building blocks of the Transformer architecture, containing self-attention, feedforward layers, and normalization.
- Multihead Attention: combines multiple self-attention heads, allowing the model to learn complex representations.
- Positional Embeddings: encode position information into the input, as the Transformer lacks recurrent connections.
Transformers as Language Models
- Transformer models are successfully used in many applications, including language modeling, machine translation, and text summarization.
- The BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) model is a widely used example of a Transformer based language model.
