Why Deep Learning and Why Now?

Why Deep Learning?

Hand engineering features are time consuming, brittle and not scalable in practice

Can we learn underlying features directly from data?

Low level features Mid level features High level features

Edges Eyes, ears, nose Facial structure

Why Now?

Neural Networks date back decades, so why the resurgence?

1. Big Data • Large Datasets

Importance of Activation Functions

The purpose of activation functions is to introduce non-linearities in the network.

What if we wanted to build a neural network to distinguish red and green points?

Importance of Activation Functions

The purpose of activation functions is to introduce non-linearities in the network.

Linear activation functions produce linear decisions to matter the network size

Non-linearities allow us to approximate arbitrary complex functions

How can we set the learning rate?

Optimization through gradient descent:

Setting the Learning Rate

Small learning rates converge slowly and gets stuck in false local minima.


Large learning rates overshoot, become unstable and diverge.


Stable learning rates converge smoothly, and avoid local minima.

How to deal with this?

Idea 1:

Try lots of different learning rates and see what works “just right”

How to deal with this?

Idea 1:

Try lots of different learning rates and see what works “just right”

Idea 2:

Design an adaptive learning rate that adapts to the landscape.

Adaptive Learning Rates

• Learning rates are no longer fixed

• Can be made smaller and larger depending on:

• how large the gradient is

• how fast learning is happening

• size of particular weights

• etc..

Gradient Descent Algorithms

• SGD

• Adam

• Adadelta

• Adagrad

• RMSProp

Neural Networks in Practice: Overfitting

The Problem of Overfitting

Underfitting Ideal Fit Overfitting

Model does not have capacity to fully learn the data

Too complex, extra parameters, Does not generalise well

Regularization

Technique that constrains our optimisation problem to discourage complex models
