  10. Some Learning Machines • Linear models • Kernel methods • Neural networks • Decision trees

  11. Linear Models • f(x) = wx+b = Sj=1:n wj xj +b Linearity in the parameters, NOT in the input components. • f(x) = w F(x)+b = Sj wjfj(x) +b (Perceptron) • f(x) = Si=1:maik(xi,x) +b (Kernel method)

  16. x1 k(x2,x) k(x1,x) k(xm,x) a1 x2 a2 S am xn b f(x) = Siaik(xi,x) + b 1 k(. ,. ) is a similarity measure or “kernel”. Kernel Method Potential functions, Aizerman et al 1964

  17. What is a Kernel? A kernel is: • a similarity measure • a dot product in some feature space: k(s, t) = F(s) F(t) But we do not need to know the F representation. Examples: • k(s, t) = exp(-||s-t||2/s2) Gaussian kernel • k(s, t) = (s t)qPolynomial kernel

  18. Activation of another neuron xj wj y S Dendrite Synapse Hebb’s Rule wj wj + yi xij Axon Link to “Naïve Bayes”

  19. Kernel “Trick” (for Hebb’s rule) • Hebb’s rule for the Perceptron: w = Si yiF(xi) f(x) = w F(x) = Si yiF(xi) F(x) • Define a dot product: k(xi,x) = F(xi) F(x) f(x) = Si yi k(xi,x)

  20. Kernel “Trick” (general) • f(x) = Siai k(xi, x) • k(xi, x) = F(xi)  F(x) • f(x) = w  F(x) • w = SiaiF(xi) Dual forms

  21. Simple Kernel Methods f(x) = Sai k(xi, x) k(xi, x) = F(xi).F(x) Potential Function algorithm aiai + yi if yif(xi)<0 (Aizerman et al 1964) Dual minover aiai + yi for min yif(xi) Dual LMS aiai +  (yi - f(xi)) f(x) = w • F(x) Perceptron algorithm ww + yiF(xi) if yif(xi)<0 (Rosenblatt 1958) Minover (optimum margin) ww + yiF(xi)for min yif(xi) (Krauth-Mézard 1987) LMS regression ww +  (yi- f(xi)) F(xi) w = SaiF(xi) i i (ancestor of SVM 1992, similar to kernel Adatron, 1998, and SMO, 1999)

  23. Chessboard Problem

  24. x2 All the data x1 At each step, choose the feature that “reduces entropy” most. Work towards “node purity”. Choose x2 Choose x1 Tree Classifiers CART (Breiman, 1984)orC4.5 (Quinlan, 1993)

  27. x2 x1 Performance evaluation f(x) < 0 f(x) < 0 x2 f(x) = 0 f(x) = 0 f(x) > 0 f(x) > 0 x1

  28. x2 x1 Performance evaluation f(x) < -1 f(x) < -1 x2 f(x) = -1 f(x) = -1 f(x) > -1 f(x) > -1 x1

  29. x2 x1 Performance evaluation f(x) < 1 f(x) < 1 x2 f(x) = 1 f(x) = 1 f(x) > 1 f(x) > 1 x1

  30. ROC Curve For a given threshold on f(x), you get a point on the ROC curve. Ideal ROC curve 100% Actual ROC Positive class success rate (hit rate, sensitivity) Random ROC 0 100% 1 - negative class success rate (false alarm rate, 1-specificity)

  31. ROC Curve For a given threshold on f(x), you get a point on the ROC curve. Ideal ROC curve (AUC=1) 100% Actual ROC Positive class success rate (hit rate, sensitivity) Random ROC (AUC=0.5) 0  AUC  1 0 100% 1 - negative class success rate (false alarm rate, 1-specificity)

  32. What is a Risk Functional? A function of the parameters of the learning machine, assessing how much it is expected to fail on a given task. Examples: • Classification: • Error rate:(1/m) Si=1:m1(F(xi)yi) • 1- AUC • Regression: • Mean square error:(1/m) Si=1:m(f(xi)-yi)2

  33. R[f(x,w)] Parameter space (w) w* How to train? • Define a risk functional R[f(x,w)] • Optimize it w.r.t. w (gradient descent, mathematical programming, simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, etc.) (… to be continued in the next lecture)

  34. Summary • With linear threshold units (“neurons”) we can build: • Linear discriminant (including Naïve Bayes) • Kernel methods • Neural networks • Decision trees • The architectural hyper-parameters may include: • The choice of basis functions f (features) • The kernel • The number of units • Learning means fitting: • Parameters (weights) • Hyper-parameters • Be aware of the fit vs. robustness tradeoff
