9 .Cost function For this linear regression example, to determine the best p (slope of the line) for y=x⋅p we can calculate the cost function, such as Mean Square Error, Mean absolute error, Mean bias error, SVM Loss, etc. For this example, we’ll use sum of squared absolute differences | t − y |2 ∑ cost = Source: https://bit.ly/2IoAGzL

15 .Hyperparameters: Activation Functions? • Good starting point: ReLU • Note many neural networks samples: Keras MNIST,  TensorFlow CIFAR10 Pruning, etc. • Note that each activation function has its own strengths and weaknesses.  A good quote on activation functions from CS231N summarizes the choice well: “What neuron type should I use?” Use the ReLU non-linearity, be careful with your learning rates and possibly monitor the fraction of “dead” units in a network. If this concerns you, give Leaky ReLU or Maxout a try. Never use sigmoid. Try tanh, but expect it to work worse than ReLU/ Maxout.

20 .Backpropagation • Backpropagation: calculate the gradient of the cost function in a neural network • Used by gradient descent optimization 0.85 0.10 algorithm to adjust weight of neurons • Also known as backward propagation of errors as the error is calculated and distributed back through the network of layers Input Hidden Output 

21 .Sigmoid function (continued) Output is not zero-centered: During gradient descent, if all values are positive then during backpropagation the weights will become all positive or all negative creating zig zagging dynamics. Source: https://bit.ly/2IoAGzL 

22 .Learning Rate Callouts • Too small, it may take too long to get minima • Too large, it may skip the minima altogether 

23 .Which Optimizer? Source: https://goo.gl/2da4WY “In practice Adam is currently recommended as the default algorithm to use, and often works slightly better than RMSProp. However, it is often also worth trying SGD+Nesterov Momentum as an alternative..”  Andrej Karpathy, et al, CS231n Comparison of Adam to Other Optimization Algorithms Training a Multilayer Perceptron

27 .Convolutional Networks 

28 .Convolutional Neural Networks • Similar to Artificial Neural Networks but CNNs (or ConvNets) make explicit assumptions that the input are images • Regular neural networks do not scale well against images • E.g. CIFAR-10 images are 32x32x3 (32 width, 32 height, 3 color channels) = 3072 weights – somewhat manageable • A larger image of 200x200x3 = 120,000 weights • CNNs have neurons arranged in 3D: width, height, depth. • Neurons in a layer will only be connected to a small region of the layer before it, i.e. NOT all of the neurons in a fully-connected manner. • Final output layer for CIFAR-10 is 1x1x10 as we will reduce the full image into a single vector of class scores, arranged along the depth dimension
