How the Brain “Works” (Cartoon version) @bgoncalves www.data4sci.com

How the Brain “Works” (Cartoon version) • Each neuron receives input from other neurons • 10 11 neurons, each with with 10 4 weights • Weights can be positive or negative • Weights adapt during the learning process • “neurons that fire together wire together” (Hebb) • Different areas perform different functions using same structure (Modularity) @bgoncalves www.data4sci.com

Optimization Problem • (Machine) Learning can be thought of as an optimization problem . • Optimization Problems have 3 distinct pieces : Neural Network • The constraints Prediction Error • The function to optimize Gradient Descent • The optimization algorithm . @bgoncalves www.data4sci.com

Activation Function - Sigmoid http://github.com/bmtgoncalves/Neural-Networks • Non-Linear function • Differentiable 1 φ ( z ) = 1 + e − z • non-decreasing • Compute new sets of features • Each layer builds up a more abstract 
 representation of the data • Perhaps the most common @bgoncalves www.data4sci.com

Activation Function - tanh http://github.com/bmtgoncalves/Neural-Networks • Non-Linear function • Differentiable φ ( z ) = e z − e − z e z + e − z • non-decreasing • Compute new sets of features • Each layer builds up a more abstract 
 representation of the data @bgoncalves www.data4sci.com

Forward Propagation • The output of a perceptron is determined by a sequence of steps: • obtain the inputs • multiply the inputs by the respective weights • calculate output using the activation function • To create a multi-layer perceptron, you can simply use the output of one layer as the input to the next one.

Backward Propagation of Errors (BackProp) • BackProp operates in two phases: • Forward propagate the inputs and calculate the deltas • Update the weights • The error at the output is a weighted average difference between predicted output and the observed one. • For inner layers there is no “real output”! @bgoncalves www.data4sci.com

Loss Functions • For learning to occur, we must quantify how far off we are from the desired output. There are two common ways of doing this: • Quadratic error function: E = 1 | y n − a n | 2 X N • Cross Entropy n J = − 1 n log a n + (1 − y n ) T log (1 − a n ) h i X y T N n The Cross Entropy is complementary to sigmoid activation in the output layer and improves its stability. @bgoncalves www.data4sci.com


 Gradient Descent • Find the gradient for each training batch • Take a step downhill along the direction of the gradient 
 − ∂ H ∂θ mn θ mn ← θ mn − α ∂ H ∂θ mn H • where is the step size. α • Repeat until “convergence”. @bgoncalves www.data4sci.com

Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) • Each output depends (implicitly) on all previous outputs . • Input sequences generate output sequences ( seq2seq ) h t − 1 h t h t +1 h t − 2 h t − 1 h t h t +1 x t − 1 x t x t +1 @bgoncalves www.data4sci.com

Timeseries • Temporal sequence of data points • Consecutive points are strongly correlated • Common in statistics, signal processing, econometrics, mathematical finance, earthquake prediction, etc • Numeric (real or discrete) or symbolic data • Supervised Learning problem: X t = f ( X t − 1 , ⋯ , X t − n ) @bgoncalves www.data4sci.com

Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) • What if we want to keep explicit information about previous states ( memory )? • How much information is kept, can be controlled through gates. • LSTMs were first introduced in 1997 by Hochreiter and Schmidhuber h t − 1 h t h t +1 c t − 2 c t − 1 c t c t +1 h t +1 h t − 2 h t − 1 h t x t − 1 x t x t +1 @bgoncalves www.data4sci.com
