Artificial Neural Networks
Artificial neural networks
• Motivation: the simulation of the neuo
system (human brain)’s information
processing mechanisms
• Structure: huge amount of densely
connected, mutally operating
processing units (neurons)
• It learns from experiences (training
instances)
Some neurobiology…
• Neurons have many
inputs and a single
output
• The output is either
excited or not
• The inputs from other
neurons determins
whether the neuron
fires
• Each input synapse has
a weight
A neuron in maths
Weighted average of inputs. If the average is above
a threshold T it fires (outputs 1) else its output is 0
or -1.
Statistics about the human brain
• #nerons: ~ 1011
• Avg. #connections per neuron: 104
• Signal sending time: 10-3 sec
• Face recognition: 10-1 sec
Motivation
(machine learning point of view)
• Goal: non-linear classification
– Linear machines are not satisfactory at
several real world situations
– Which non-linear function family to choose?
– Neural networks: latent non-linear patterns
will be machine learnt

Feedforward neural networks
• Connection only to the next layer
• The weights of the connections
(between two layers) can be changed
• Activation functions are used to
calculate whether the neuron fires
• Three-layer network:
• Input layer
• Hidden layer
• Output layer
Network function
• The network function of neuron j:
d
d
i 1
i 0
net j   xi w ji  w j 0   xi w ji  wtj x,
where i is the index of input neurons, and wji is the
weight between the neurons i and j.
• wj0 is the bias
Activation function
activation function is a non-linear function
of the network value:
yj = f(netj)
(if it’d be linear, the whole network will be linear)
The sign activation function:

• Binary classification: sign function
• Multi-class classification: a neuron for
each of the classes, the argmax is
predicted (discriminant function)
• Regression: linear transformation
– y1 hidden unit calculates:
 0  y1 = +1
x1 + x2 + 0.5
< 0  y1 = -1
x1 OR x2
- y2 represents:
 0  y2 = +1
x1 + x2 -1.5
< 0  y2 = -1
– The output neuron: z1 = 0.7y1-0.4y2 - 1,
sgn(z1) is 1 iff y1 =1, y2 = -1
(x1 OR x2 ) AND NOT(x1 AND x2)

– The hidden units with their activation functions can
express non-linear functions
– The activation functions can be different at neurons
(but the same one is used in practice)
Universal approximation
theorem
Universal approximation theorem states that
a feed-forward network with a single hidden layer
containing a finite number of neurons can
approximate any continuous functions
But the theorem does not give any hint on
who to design activation functions for
problems/datasets
Training of neural networks
(backpropagation)
Training of neural networks
• The network topology is given
• The same activation function is
used at each hidden neuron and it
is given
• Training = calibration of weights
• on-line learning (epochs)
Training of neural networks
1.Forward propagation
An input vector propagates through the
network
2. Weight update (backpropagation)
the weights of the network will be
changed in order to decrease the
difference between the predicted and gold
standard values
Training of neural networks
we can calculate (propagate back) the
error signal for each hidden neuron
• tk is the target (gold standard) value of
output neuron k, zk is the prediction at
output neuron k (k = 1, …, c) and w are
the weights

Stopping based on the performance
on a validation dataset
– The usage of unseen training instances for
estimating the performance of supervised
learning (to avoid overfitting)
– Stopping at the minimum error on the
validation set
Notes on backpropagation
• it can be stack at local minima
• In practice, the local minima is close to the
global one
• Multiple training starting from various
randomly initalized weights might help
– we can take the trained network with the minimal
error (on a validation set)
– there are voting schema for voting the networks
Questions of network design
• How many hidden neurons?
– few neurons cannot learn complex
patterns
– too many neurons can easily
overfit
– validation set?
• Learning rate!?
