Support Vector Machines
A Support Vector Machine (SVM) can be imagined as a surface that creates a
boundary between points of data plotted in multidimensional that represent
examples and their feature values
The goal of a SVM is to create a flat boundary called a hyperplane, which divides
the space to create fairly homogeneous partitions on either side
SVMs can be adapted for use with nearly any type of learning task, including
both classification and numeric prediction
Classification with hyper planes
For example, the following figure depicts hyperplanes that separate groups
of circles and squares in two and three dimensions. Because the circles and
squares can be separated perfectly by the straight line or flat surface, they
are said to be linearly separable
Which is the “best” Fit!
In two dimensions, the task of the SVM algorithm is to identify a line that
separates the two classes. As shown in the following figure, there is more than
one choice of dividing line between the groups of circles and squares. How does
the algorithm choose
Linear Hyperplane for 2-classes
SVM Objective
OBJECTIVE: CONSTRAINT:
Min
Nonlinearly separable data
A cost value (denoted as C) is applied to all points that violate the constraints,
and rather than finding the maximum margin, the algorithm attempts to minimize
the total cost. We can therefore revise the optimization problem to:
Using kernels for non-linear spaces
A key feature of SVMs is their ability to map the problem into a higher
dimension space using a process known as the kernel trick. In doing so, a
nonlinear relationship may suddenly appear to be quite linear.
After the kernel trick has been applied, we look at the data
through the lens of a new dimension: altitude. With the addition
of this feature, the classes are now perfectly linearly separable
Neural Networks
Understanding neural networks
An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models the relationship between a set of input
signals and an output signal using a model derived from our understanding of
how a biological brain responds to stimuli from sensory inputs. Just as a brain
uses a network of interconnected cells called neurons to create a massive parallel
processor, ANN uses a network of artificial neurons or nodes to solve learning
problems
The human brain is made up of about 85 billion neurons, resulting in a
network capable of representing a tremendous amount of knowledge
For instance, a cat has roughly a billion neurons, a mouse has about 75
million neurons, and a cockroach has only about a million neurons. In
contrast, many ANNs contain far fewer neurons, typically only several
hundred, so we're in no danger of creating an artificial brain anytime in the
near future
Biological to artificial neurons
Incoming signals are received by the cell's dendrites through a biochemical process. The
process allows the impulse to be weighted according to its relative importance or frequency. As
the cell body begins accumulating the incoming signals, a threshold is reached at which the cell
fires and the output signal is transmitted via an electrochemical process down the axon. At the
axon's terminals, the electric signal is again processed as a chemical signal to be passed to the
neighboring neurons.
This directed network diagram defines a
relationship between the input signals
received by the dendrites (x variables), and
the output signal (y variable). Just as with the
biological neuron, each dendrite's signal is
weighted (w values) according to its
importance. The input signals are summed
by the cell body and the signal is passed on
according to an activation function denoted
by f
A typical artificial neuron with n input dendrites can be
represented by the formula that follows. The w weights
allow each of the n inputs (denoted by xi) to contribute
a greater or lesser amount to the sum of input signals.
The net total is used by the activation function f(x), and
the resulting signal, y(x), is the output axon
In biological sense, the activation function could be imagined as a process that
involves summing the total input signal and determining whether it meets the firing
threshold. If so, the neuron passes on the signal; otherwise, it does nothing. In ANN
terms, this is known as a threshold activation function, as it results in an output signal
only once a specified input threshold has been attained
The following figure depicts a typical threshold function; in this case,
the neuron fires when the sum of input signals is at least zero.
Because its shape resembles a stair, it is sometimes called a unit step
activation function
Network topology
The ability of a neural network to learn is rooted in its topology, or the
patterns and structures of interconnected neurons
key characteristics
• The number of layers
• Whether information in the network is allowed to travel backward
• The number of nodes within each layer of the network
Number of layers
The input and output nodes are arranged in groups known as layers
Input nodes process the incoming data exactly as it is received, the
network has only one set of connection weights (labeled here as w1,
w2, and w3). It is therefore termed a single-layer network
