The weight wj can be positive or negative Inhibitory or exitatory

Use only a linear sum of inputs Use a simple output instead of a pulse (spike train)


Neural Networks

Can put lots of McCulloch & Pitts neurons together

Connect them up in any way we likeIn fact, assemblies of the neurons are

capable of universal computationCan perform any computation that a normal

computer canJust have to solve for all the weights wij

2.2 The Perceptron

Definition from Wikipedia:The perceptron is a binary classifier which maps its input x (a real-valued vector) to an output value f(x) (a single binary value) across the matrix:

elsebwx

xf0

01{)(

In order to not explicitly write b, we extend the input vector x by one more dimension that is always set to -1, e.g., x=(-1,x_1, …, x_7) with x_0=-1, and extend the weight vector to w=(w_0,w_1, …, w_7). Then adjusting w_0 corresponds to adjusting b.

The perceptron is considered the simplest kind of feed-forward neural network.

Perceptron Decision = Recall

Outputs are:

For example, y=(y_1, …, y_5)=(1, 0, 0, 1, 1) is a possible output.We may have a different function g in the place of sign, as in (2.4) in the book.


Perceptron Learning = Updating the Weights

We want to change the values of the weightsAim: minimise the error at the outputIf E = t-y, want E to be 0Use: Learning rate

w_0(1) = -0.05 + 0.25×(0-1)×-1=0.2w_1(1) = -0.02 + 0.25×(0-1)×0=-0.02w_2(1) = 0.02 + 0.25×(0-1)×0=0.02

We continue with the new weights and the second row, and so onWe make several passes over the training data.

2.3 Linear Separability

Outputs are:

where

cos|||||||| xwxw

and is the angle between vectors x and w.


Geometry of linear Separability

w

The equation of a line isw_0 + w_1*x + w_2*y=0It also means that point (x,y) is on the line

This equation is equivalent to

wx = (w_0, w_1,w_2) (1,x,y) = 0

If wx > 0, then the angle between w and x is less than 90 degree, which means thatw and x lie on the same side of the line.

Each output node of perceptron tries to separate the training dataInto two classes (fire or no-fire) with a linear decision boundary, i.e., straight line in 2D, plane in 3D, and hyperplane in higher dim.

Gradient Descent Learning Rule

• Consider linear unit without threshold and continuous output o (not just –1,1)– y=w0 + w1 x1 + … + wn xn

• Train the wi’s such that they minimize the squared error

– E[w1,…,wn] = ½ dD (td-yd)2

where D is the set of training examples

33

Incremental Stochastic Gradient Descent

• Batch mode : gradient descent

w=w - ED[w] over the entire data D

ED[w]=1/2d(td-yd)2

• Incremental mode: gradient descent

w=w - Ed[w] over individual training examples d

Ed[w]=1/2 (td-yd)2

Incremental Gradient Descent can approximate Batch Gradient Descent arbitrarily closely if is small enough

34

Gradient Descent Perceptron Learning

Gradient-Descent(training_examples, )Each training example is a pair of the form <(x1,…xn),t> where (x1,…,xn) is the vector of input values, and t is the target output value, is the learning rate (e.g. 0.1)

• Initialize each wi to some small random value• Until the termination condition is met, Do

– For each <(x1,…xn),t> in training_examples Do

• Input the instance (x1,…,xn) to the linear unit and compute the output y

• For each linear unit weight wi Do

– wi= (t-y) xi

– For each linear unit weight wi Do• wi=wi+wi

Summery• Perceptron and regression optimize the same target function• In both cases we compute the gradient (vector of partial

derivatives)• In the case of regression, we set the gradient to zero and

solve for vector w. As the solution we have a closed formula for w such that the target function obtains the global minimum.

• In the case of perceptron, we iteratively go in the direction of the minimum by going in the direction of minus the gradient. We do this incrementally making small steps for each data point.

Homework 1

• (Ch. 2.3.3) Implement perceptron in Matlab and test it on the Pmia Indian Dataset from UCI Machine Learning Repository: http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/

• (Ch. 2.4.1) Implementing linear regression in Matlab and apply it to auto-mpg dataset.

From Ch. 3: Testing

How do we evaluate our trained network?Can’t just compute the error on the training

data - unfair, can’t see overfittingKeep a separate testing setAfter training, evaluate on this test setHow do we check for overfitting?Can’t use training or testing sets


Validation

Keep a third set of data for thisTrain the network on training dataPeriodically, stop and evaluate on

validation setAfter training has finished, test on test set

This is coming expensive on data!
