Gradient decent (from wekipedia)

Gradient descent is based on the observation that if the real-valued function F(x) is defined and differentiable in a neighborhood of a point a, then F(x) decreases fastest if one goes from a in the direction of the negative gradient of F at a. It follows that, if

for > 0 a small enough number, then F(b)<F(a)

Sequence encoding

• Change in weight is linearly dependent on input value

• “True” sparse encoding is therefore highly inefficient

• Sparse is most often encoded as– +1/-1 or 0.9/0.05

Training and error reduction

Size matters

• A Network contains a very large set of parameters

– A network with 5 hidden neurons predicting binding for 9meric peptides has more than 9x20x5=900 weights

• Over fitting is a problem• Stop training when test performance is optimal

Neural network training. Cross validation

Cross validation

Train on 4/5 of dataTest on 1/5=>Produce 5 different neural networks each with a different prediction focus

5 fold training

Which network to choose?

5 fold training

How many folds?• Cross validation is always good!, but

how many folds?– Few folds -> small training data sets– Many folds -> small test data sets

• Example from Tuesdays exercise– 560 peptides for training

• 50 fold (10 peptides per test set, few data to stop training)

• 2 fold (280 peptides per test set, few data to train)

• 5 fold (110 peptide per test set, 450 per training set)

Problems with 5fold cross validation• Use test set to stop training, and test

set performance to evaluate training– Over-fitting?

• If test set is small yes• If test set is large no• Confirm using “true” 5 fold cross

validation– 1/5 for evaluation– 4/5 for 4 fold cross-validation

Conventional 5 fold cross validation

“True” 5 fold cross validation

When to be careful

• When data is scarce, the performance obtained used “conventional” versus “true” cross validation can be very large

• When data is abundant the difference is small, and “true” cross validation might even be higher than “conventional” cross validation due to the ensemble aspect of the “true” cross validation approach

Do hidden neurons matter?

• The environment matters

Example

Summary• Gradient decent is used to determine the

updates for the synapses in the neural network

• Some relatively simple math defines the gradients– Networks without hidden layers can be solved on

the back of an envelope (SMM exercise)– Hidden layers are a bit more complex, but still ok

• Always train networks using a test set to stop training– Be careful when reporting predictive performance

• Use “true” cross-validation for small data sets• And hidden neurons do matter (sometimes)

And some more stuff for the long cold winter nights• Can it might be made differently?
