Learning Motorcar Learning: Multinomial Logistic Classification

In the previous post, nosotros got started on classification. Classification is the labor of taking an input as well as giving it a label that says, this is an "A". In the previous post, nosotros covered logistic regression, which made the determination for a unmarried label "A". In this post, nosotros volition generalize that to multinomial logistic classification where your chore is to figure out which of the K classes a given input belongs to.

For this post service I follow the course of pedagogy notes from the Udacity Deep Learning Class yesteryear Vincent Vanhoucke at Google. I actually liked his presentation of the course: rattling practical as well as to the point. This must receive got required a lot of preparation. Going through the video transcript file, I tin encounter that the textile has been prepared meticulously to travel clear as well as concise. I strongly recommend the course.

The course of pedagogy uses TensorFlow to learn y'all nearly Deep Neural Networks inward a hands-on manner, as well as follows the MNIST alphabetic quality recognition instance inward the start 3 lessons. Don't acquire stressed nearly TensorFlow installation as well as getting the tutorial surround setup. It is equally slowly equally downloading a Docker container, as well as going to your browser to start filling inward Jupyter Notebooks. I enjoyed programming inward the Jupyter Notebooks a lot. Jupyter Notebooks is literate programming ...um, literally.

Multinomial logistic classification 

The logistic classifier takes an input vector X (for example, the pixels inward an image), as well as applies a linear percentage to them to generate its predictions. The linear percentage is precisely a giant matrix multiply: it multiplies X amongst the weights matrix, W, as well as add together biases, b, to generate its prediction to travel ane of the output classes.

Of course, nosotros demand to start prepare our model (W as well as b that is) using the preparation information as well as the corresponding preparation labels to figure out the optimal west as well as b to agree the preparation data. Each image, that nosotros receive got equally an input tin receive got ane as well as solely ane possible label. So, we're going to plow the scores (aka logits) the model outputs into probabilities. While doing so, nosotros desire the probability of the right bird to travel rattling roughly ane as well as the probability for every other bird to travel roughly zero.

This is how multinomial logistic classification generalizes logistic regression.

  • We exercise a softmax function to plow the scores the model outputs into probabilities.  
  • We hence exercise cross entropy percentage equally our loss percentage compare those probabilities to the one-hot encoded labels.


Softmax percentage as well as one-hot encoding

A softmax function, S, is of the cast $S(y_i)=\frac{e^{y_i}}{\sum e^{y_j}}$. This agency due south tin receive got whatsoever form of scores as well as plow them into proper probabilities which amount to 1.
def softmax(x):
    """Compute softmax values for each sets of scores inward x."""
    provide np.exp(x)/np.sum(np.exp(x), axis=0)

Compare the softmax amongst the logistic percentage $g(z)= \frac{1}{(1 + e^{-z})}$ in the logistic regression post. The logistic percentage was concerned amongst deciding if the output is label "A" or non (less than 0.5 as well as it is non A, as well as to a greater extent than than 0.5 it is A), whereas the softmax percentage is giving/distributing probabilities for the output beingness inward each of the output bird "A", "B", "C", etc., the amount of which adds upwardly to 1.

One-hot encoding is a agency to stand upwardly for the labels mathematically. Each label volition travel represented yesteryear a vector of size output classes as well as it has the value 1.0 for the right bird as well as 0 every where else.

Cross entropy 

We tin at in ane lawsuit mensurate the accuracy of the model yesteryear precisely comparison ii vectors: ane is the softmax vector that comes out of the classifiers as well as contains the probabilities of the classes, as well as the other ane is the one-hot encoded vector that corresponds to the label.

To mensurate the distance betwixt those ii probability vectors, *cross-entropy* is used. Denoting distance amongst D, Softmax(Y) amongst S, Label amongst L, the formula for cross-entropy is: $D(S,L)= -\sum_i L_i log(S_i)$.

When the $i$th entry corresponds to the right class, $L_i=1$, as well as the toll (i.e., distance) becomes -log(S_i). If $S_i$ has a larger probability roughly 1, the toll becomes lower, as well as if $S_i$ has a lower probability roughly 0, the toll becomes larger. In other words, the cross entropy percentage penalizes $S_i$ for the false-negatives. When the $i$th entry corresponds to ane of the wrong classes, $L_i=0$ as well as the entry inward $S_i$ becomes irrelevant for the cost. So the cross entropy percentage does non penalize $S_i$ for the imitation positives.

Compare the cross-entropy amongst the toll percentage inward logistic regression:

It looks similar the cross-entropy does non receive got into draw of piece of work organisation human relationship false-positives, whereas the before $J$ toll percentage took both into draw of piece of work organisation human relationship as well as penalized both the false-positives as well as false-negatives. On the other hand, cross-entropy does reckon false-positives inward an indirect fashion: Since the softmax is a zero-sum probability classifier, improving it for the false-negatives does receive got attention of the false-positives.

Minimizing Cross Entropy via Gradient Descent 

To transform the multinomial classification occupation into a proper optimization problem, nosotros define training loss to mensurate the cross-entropy averaged over the entire preparation sets for all the preparation inputs as well as the corresponding preparation labels: $\mathcal{L} = 1/N * \sum_i D( S(Wx_i+b), L_i)$

We desire to minimize this preparation loss function, as well as we know that a unproblematic agency to practice that is via slope descent. Take the derivative of your loss, amongst honor to your parameters, as well as follow that derivative yesteryear taking a pace downwards as well as repeat until y'all acquire to the bottom.

As nosotros discussed before, inward guild to speed upwardly slope descent, normalization is important. Normalization is simple, if y'all are dealing amongst images. You tin receive got the pixel values of your image, they are typically betwixt 0 as well as 255. And precisely subtract 128 as well as dissever yesteryear 128. west as well as b should also travel initialized for the slope descent to proceed. Draw the weights randomly from a Gaussian distribution amongst hateful aught as well as a modest measure difference sigma.

Stochastic Gradient Descent

Computing slope descent using every unmarried chemical component inward your preparation laid tin involve a lot of computation if your information laid is big. And since slope descent is iterative, this needs to acquire repeated until convergence. It is possible to improve surgery yesteryear precisely computing the average loss for a rattling modest random fraction of the preparation data. This technique is called stochastic slope descent, SGD. SGD is used a lot for deep learning because it scales good amongst both information as well as model size.

How modest should an SGD pace (aka "learning rate") be? This is an involved question: setting the learning charge per unit of measurement large doesn't brand learning faster, instead using large steps may immature lady the optima valley, as well as may fifty-fifty drive divergence. To laid a suitable value for learning rate, nosotros tin endeavour a arrive at of values 0.001, 0.003, 0.01, 0.03. 0.1, 0.3, as well as plot convergence. After y'all settle on a suitable pace size to start with, some other useful matter is to brand the pace smaller as well as smaller equally the preparation progresses during a preparation run, for instance yesteryear applying an exponential decay. AdaGrad helps here. AdaGrad is a alteration of SGD that makes learning less sensitive to hyperparameters (such equally learning rate, momentum, decay).

How practice nosotros travel deep? 

We devised a neural network (NN) amongst precisely 1-layer, the output layer. Our
1-layer NN industrial plant similar this:

  • It multiplies preparation information yesteryear west matrix as well as adds b 
  • It applies the softmax as well as hence cross entropy loss to calculate the average of this loss over the entire preparation data. 
  • It uses SGD to compute the derivative of this loss amongst honor to west as well as b, as well as applies the $\delta$ adjustment to west as well as b (i.e., takes a pace downwards inward the slope field)
  • It keeps repeating the procedure until it converges to a minimum of the loss function.

In the adjacent post, nosotros volition larn nearly adding hidden layers via rectified linear units (ReLUs) to construct deeper NNs.  Deeper NNs are able to capture to a greater extent than complex functions to agree the information better. For preparation the deep NN nosotros volition larn nearly how to backpropagate the slope descent adjustments to the corresponding layers inward the NN using the chain dominion of derivation.
