Machine Learning Unit-2 Backpropagation Algorithm

The document provides an overview of the backpropagation algorithm, which is commonly used to train artificial neural networks. It discusses the algorithm's three main phases: feed forward, calculate errors, and adjust weights. The backpropagation algorithm calculates the gradient of the loss function with respect to the network's weights using gradient descent, and updates the weights to minimize loss. It also discusses key concepts like the delta rule for weight updates and considerations around learning rates.

Outline of the Presentation
• Introduction
• Perceptron
• Back propagation algorithm
• Three main Phases of Back propagation Algo:
• Feed Forward
• Calculate Errors
• Adjust Weights

Introduction:
• Back propagation is abbreviation for "backward propagation of
errors", is a common method of training artificial neural networks
(ANN).
• The method calculates the gradient of a loss function with respect to
all the weights (w) in the network using gradient descent rule.
• The gradient is fed to the optimization method which in turn uses it
to update the weights, in an attempt to minimize the loss function.

3
Historical Background:
• Donald Hebb (1949) gave the hypothesis in his thesis “The
Organization of Behavior”:
• “Neural pathways are strengthened every time they are used.”

• Early attempts to implement artificial neural networks: McCulloch


(Neuroscientist) and Pitts (Logician)
• Based on simple neurons (MC-P neurons model)
• Based on logical functions only

4
Perceptron:
• It is a step function based on a linear combination of real-valued
inputs. If the combination is above a threshold it outputs a 1,
otherwise it outputs a –1
• A perceptron can only learn examples that are linearly separable.

Delta Rule for weight update:

• The delta rule is used for calculating the gradient change that is used for updating the weights.
• We will minimize the following error (E):
• E = ½ Σi (ti – oi) 2

• ti= taget output of ith node


• Oi = Actual Output of ith Node

• For a new input training data example X = (x1, x2, …, xn), update each weight (w) according to
this rule:
• wi = wi + Δwi
where, Δwi= - η * E’(w)/wi where, η = Learning rate of neurons

E’(w)/wi= Σi (ti – oi)*(- xi)

∆ wi = η * Σi (ti – oi) xi

What is gradient descent Rule?
• Back propagation calculates the gradient (small changes) of the
error of the network regarding the network's modifiable weights.
• This gradient is always used in a gradient descent algorithm to find
weights which can minimize the error.

Learning Rates
• Different learning rates affect the performance of a neural network
significantly.

• Optimal Learning Rate:


• Leads to the error minimum in one learning step.

20
Limitations of the back propagation algorithm
• It is not guaranteed to find global minimum of the error function. It
may get trapped in a local minima,
• Improvements,
• Add momentum.
• Use stochastic gradient descent.
• Use different networks with different initial values for the weights.

• Back propagation learning does not require normalization of input


vectors; however, normalization could improve performance.
• Standardize all features previous to training.
