Study Notes

Challenges in Image Classification

Challenge 1: Extraction of Features: High-dimensional dataset (e.g., 784 columns for 28x28 images) makes it difficult to extract relevant features.
Challenge 2: Non-Linear Decision Boundary: Logistic Regression is limited to linearly separable data, and more advanced algorithms like Decision Trees and SVM are not suitable for unstructured datasets like images.

Architecture of Neural Networks

Fully Connected Neural Network
Single Unit of Perceptron (Neuron): inspired by human neurons, with the same representation capacity as logistic regression.

Limitations of Single Unit of Neuron

Limited to linearly separable solutions, cannot find optimal boundary for non-linearly separable data
XOR problem is an example of a limitation

Multi-Layer Neural Network

Putting neurons in layers to create a Multi-Layer Neural Network
Single Layer Fully Connected Neural Network: every edge has its own weight value

Neural Architecture: Single Layer Neural Network

Fully Connected Network: each neuron is connected to every other neuron in the previous and next layers
Single Layer: only one layer of neurons between input and output
Number of neurons in each layer: depends on the problem and dataset

Neural Architecture: Multi-Layer Neural Network

Architecture: Multi-Layer Fully Connected Neural Network

One Hot Encoding

Representing categorical output labels as binary vectors (one hot encoding)

Loss Function

Calculates the difference between predicted output and actual output
Goal: minimize the loss function

Computing Gradients

Forward and Backward Propagations: used to learn weights in Multi-Layer Networks
Forward Propagation: computes the output of the network
Backward Propagation: computes the gradients of the loss function with respect to the weights

Backpropagation Algorithm

Computes gradients of the loss function with respect to the weights
Used to update the weights in the network

Variants of Gradient Descent

Batch Gradient Descent: uses the entire dataset to compute the gradient
Stochastic Gradient Descent: uses a single data point to compute the gradient
Mini-Batch Gradient Descent: uses a subset of the dataset to compute the gradient

Batch Gradient Descent

Computes the gradient of the cost function with respect to the parameters for the entire training set
Update rule: subtracts the product of the learning rate and the gradient from the current weights
Annealing: reducing the learning rate according to a pre-defined schedule or threshold
