Complexity varies; requires algorithms and models for tasks. Limited adaptation; depends on training and algorithms, No cognitive or emotional understanding; purely visual data, Requires large datasets and training models for improvement, Recognition speed depends on processing power and algorithm, Limited by the quality of training data, lighting, and angles. Requires hardware and software, which can be expensive Industrial quality control, autonomous vehicles, face detection.1b. Define Artificial Neural Networks and their basic structure. * The term “Artificial Neural Network” is derived from Biological neural networks that develop the structure of a human brain. * Similar to the human brain that has neurons interconnected to one another, artificial neural networks also have neurons that are interconnected to one another in various layers of the networks. These neurons are known as nodes. * They are a key component of machine learning and artificial intelligence, designed to recognize patterns, classify data, and make decisions based on the input they receive. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs): Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are computing systems inspired by the biological neural networks in the human brain, They are a key component of machine learning and artificial intelligence, designed to recognize patterns, classify data, and make decisions based on the input they receive. ANNs consist of layers of interconnected nodes, called neurons, that work together to process and analyze data Basic Structure of Artificial Neural Networks: 1, Input Layer: «© The first layer of an ANN that receives the raw data or features from the external environment. it accepts inputs in several different farmats provided by the programmer ‘+ Example: In image recognition, pixels of an image might be fed as inputs. 2. Hidden Layer(s): «The intermediate layers between the input and output layers, These layers process the input data and extract important patterns or features. * Neurons in the hidden layers apply weights to the inputs, sum them, pass them through an activation function, and produce outputs that are passed to the next layer. * ANNs can have multiple hidden layers, and deeper networks with more hidden layers are often referred to as Deep Neural Networks (DNNs).3. Output Layer: ‘The final layer of the ANN that preduces the result or prediction based on the processed data from the hidden layers. ‘+ The number of neurons in the output layer corresponds to the type of task: © For classification, each neuron might represent a class. © For regression, the output layer may contain a single neuron representing a predicted value. 2a. Compare Human and Machine Language processing in the context of Natural Language Processing. | Human Language is complex and dynamic system of communication used by humans to express thoughts, ideas, and emotions. + Human languages exist in three fields — speech, writing and gesture. + Machine Language is a low-level language made up of binary numbers or bits that a computer can understand, is also known as machine code or object code and is extremely tough to comprehend, The only language the computer can understand is machine language. ‘Aspect Human Language Processing Machine Language Processing (NLP) Understanding Humans naturally understand Machines need lots of data and training Context context from culture, experiences, | to understand context. and emotions.

Humans can understand speech even with background noise or errors. Humans adapt to new words, slang, ‘or trends easily. Humans can be creative with language, like in poetry or humor. Humans process language more slowly, especially large amounts. Humans might have personal biases when using language. Machines find it difficult unless trained on large datasets including idioms. Machines can fail with unclear input unless trained to handle noisy data Machines need updated training to understand new language changes. Machines can mimic creativity but don't truly understand or generate creative language. Machines can process huge amounts of language data very quickly. Machines can reflect bias if t biased data, ed on «Humans: Are great at understanding context, handling emotions, and using language creatively. They learn and adapt to new languages and slang naturally. + Machines: Are fast and good at handling large-scale data but struggle with context, emotions, and understanding non-literal language like idioms and humor without extensive training. This highlights how humans are more flexible with language, while machines excel at processing speed but lack deeper understanding without specific training 2b, Explain the deep learning network architecture. Deep Learning Network Architectures are built using layers of artificial neurons (or nades) that mimic the structure and function of biological neural networks, These architectures are particularly powerful for tasks like image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition. Below is an explanation of the components and types of deep learning architectures: Basic Structure of a Deep Learning Network Deep learning networks are composed of multiple layers, which include:1. Input Layer: © Thisis the first layer that takes in raw data (eg, pixels of an image, words in a sentence, etc). © Each nede in the input layer represents a feature of the data (for example, pixels in an image or words in a sentence). 2. Hidden Layers: ° These are the layers between the input and output layers. The term "deep" in deep learning refers to the multiple hidden layers. Each hidden layer contains neurons that process the input data using learned weights and biases. Each layer refines the representation of the data as it passes through ° Typically, the deeper the network (ie, more hidden layers), the more complex patterns it can learn. 3. Output Layer: © Thisis the final layer of the network. It produces the predicted result or classification based on the processing in the hidden layers. 2 The number of neurons in the output layer depends on the task (e.g, 10 neurons for digit classification, where each neuron represents a digit from 0-9), ‘Components of Deep Learning Networks 1. Neurons (Nodes) © Each neuron in a layer is a processing unit that receives inputs, multiplies them by weights, adds biases, and applies an activation function. 2. Weights: © Weights are learned parameters that determine the importance of each input to a neuron. They get updated during the training process to reduce the error.3. Biases: 2 Biases are additional parameters added to the weighted sum of inputs, allowing the model to shift the activation function and increase its flexibility. 4. Activation Function: © Activation functions introduce non-linearity to the model, allowing it to leam complex patterns. Common activation functions include: + ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit): Outputs the input if it’s positive; otherwise, it outputs zero. + Sigmoid: Outputs values between 0 and 1, used for binary classification. + Tan: Outputs values between -1 and 1, used in certain types of neural networks 5. Loss Function: © The loss function quantifies how well the neural network's output matches the expected output. During training, the goal is to minimize this lass by adjusting the weights and biases. ‘© Commen loss functions include Mean Squared Error (for regression) and Cross- Entropy Loss (for classification). 6. Backpropagation and Optimization 2 Backpropagation: The process of calculating the gradient of the loss function with respect to each weight in the network. It works by propagating the error backward through the layers. © Optimization: Algorithms like Gradient Descent are used to update the weights based on the calculated gradients, thereby minimizing the loss. Variants like Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and Adam are widely used Common Deep Learning Architectures 1. Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) 2. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) 3. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) 4. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)3. Explain the difference between Al, ML and DL. “Artificial Intelligence is defined as a field af science and engineering that deals with making intelligent machines or computers to perform human-like activities” “Deep learning is defined as the subset of machine learning and artificial intelligence that is based on artificial neural networks". “A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E~ Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep | ming Deep Learning, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence are the mast used terms on the internet for IT folks. However, all these three technologies are connected with each other. Artificial Intelligence (Al) can be understood as an umbrella that consists of both Machine learning and deep learning. Or We can say deep leaming and machine learning both are subsets of artificial intelligence. ‘As these technologies look similar, most of the persons have misconceptions about ‘Deep Learning, Machine learning, and Artifical intelligence’ that all three are similar to each ather. But in reality, although all these technologies are used to build intelligent machines or applications that behave like a human, still, they differ by their functionalities and scope. it means these three terms are often used interchangeably, but they do not quite refer to the same things. Let's understand the fundamental difference between deep learning, machine learning, and Artificial Intelligence with the below image. With the above image, you can understand Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that helps us to create smart, intelligent machines. Further, ML is a subfield of Al that helps to teach machines and build Al- driven applications. On the other hand, Deep learning is the sub-branch of ML that helps to train ML models with a huge amount of input and complex algorithms and mainly works with neural networks.

Describe the techniques used to improve deep networks. Improving deep networks involves several techniques aimed at enhancing performance, reducing overfi 1.

Here are some key techi + Dropout: Randomly turns off a subset of neurons during training to prevent overfitting and promote redundancy in the network. + L2. and L1 Regularization: Adds a penalty to the loss function to prevent the network fram assigning too much importance to specific weights, reducing overfitting. + Early Stopping: Stops training when the model's performance on a validation set begins to degrade, hel 1g avoid overfittingBatch Normalization: Normalizes the inputs of each layer to ensure stable distributions, which can improve both the speed of convergence and generaliz: 2. Optimization Techniques Adaptive Learning Rate Methods: Algorithms like Adam, RMSprop, and Adagrad adjust the learning rate for each parameter based on its historical gradient, improving convergence speed. Batch Normalization: Normalizes the inputs to each layer, reducing internal covariate shift and accelerating training. Gradient Clipping: Prevents exploding gradients, which can destabilize training. Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD): The most basic form of optimization where the model's weights are updated after every mini-batch of training data. While it can be noisy, the randomness can help avoid local minima, 3. Hyperparameter Tuning Grid Search: Exhaustively searches through a predefined grid of hyperparameter values. Random Search: Randomly samples hyperparameter values from a specified distribution. Bayesian Optimization: Uses probabilistic models to efficiently explore the hyperparameter space 4, Data augmentation: Data augmentation is a technique for artificially increasing the size of the training dataset. Data augmentation is done by applying random transformations to the training images, such as cropping, flipping, and rotating. This helps to prevent the network from overfitting the training data. 5. Weight initialization Proper weight initialization helps a madel converge faster and more reliably, avoiding issues such as vanishing or exploding gradients. There are several methods used for initializing weights: Random Initialization: © Weights are initialized randomly, usually from a normal ar uniform distribution. However, this can lead to poor convergence due to exploding/vanishing gradients in deep networks, Xavier (Glorot) Initialization:© Designed for sigmoid or tanh activations, Weights are initialized with a variance that is a function of the number of input and output neurons to maintain a stable gradient flow. © Formula: Var(W) = —2— 4b, List the steps involved in training deep networks. 1.

Illustrate on computation representation of language in Human and Machine languag 1. Computation Representation in Human Language Human language is a rich, complex system, and its computation representation focuses on how humans process, interpret, and generate language. This involves multiple levels: 1 Phonemes: 2 Description: Phonemes are the smallest units of sound in spoken language. They do not have meaning by themselves but serve to distinguish one word from another. For instance, the words "bat" and "cat" differ only by the initial phoneme (/b/ vs. /K/).© Example: In the word "dog’, there are three phonemes: /d/, /o/, and /g/. Changing one phoneme changes the word, like replacing /d/ with /f/ to form fog’, 2. Morphemes: © Description: Morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in a language. They can be free morphemes (standalone words like "book") or bound morphemes (affixes like "- ed" or “un-"), Combining morphemes forms more complex words. © Example: The word "unhappiness" consists of three morphemes: "un-" (a prefix meaning “not"), “happy” (a root word), and "-ness” (a suffix indicating a state or quality). 3. Syntax: © Description: Syntax refers to the rules that govern the structure of sentences. It dictates how words are arranged to create meaningful sentences, Syntax differs across languages but is fundamental in determining the grammatical correctness of a sentence, © Example: In English, the sentence "The cat chased the mouse” is syntactically correct, whereas "Chased the mouse the cat" is not, even though it contains the same words. 4. Semantics: © Description: Semantics is the study of meaning in language. It focuses on how individual words and combinations of words convey meaning, Semantics considers word sense, relations like synonyms and antonyms, and the meaning of phrases © Example: The sentence "I'm feeling blue" refers ta sadness, not the color blue. Semantics allows us to interpret this idiomatic expression by understanding the context 5. Pragmatics: © Description: Pragmatics deals with how language is used in real-world contexts, including speaker intent, tone, and situational context. Pragmatics considers how meaning is affected by things like politeness, sarcasm, or indirectness, © Example: When someone says "Can you pass the salt?", they are likely making a polite request rather than asking about your physical ability to pass the salt. Pragmatics helps Us infer this request. 2. Computation Representation in Machine Language In contrast, machine language (e.g., programming languages, binary code) is precise, formal, and ‘operates in ways directly interpretable by computers.1. Numerical Representations: a, One-hot Encoding: Description: This is a simple representation where each word is encoded as a binary vector with the same length as the size of the vocabulary. Each vector has a single high value (1) and the rest are zeros. Example: If the vocabulary consists of ("cat’, “dog”, “mouse"}, then “cat” might be represented as [1, 0, 0}, “dog” as (0, 1, 0], and “mouse” as (0, 0, 1]. Limitation: This method doesn't capture any semantic relationships between words (e.g, "cat" and “deg” would be completely unrelated). b, Distributed Representations: Description: In distributed representations, words are represented as dense vectors with continuous values. Each dimension of the vector contains meaningful information about the word, such as context or semantics, Example: Word vectors for “king” and "queen" might be close in the vector space because of shared semantic meaning, while "king" and “car” would be far apart. ¢. Word Embeddings: Description: Word embeddings, such as Word2Vec, GloVe, or contextual embeddings from models like BERT, are learned representations that map words into a high-dimensional space. These vectors capture the semantic relationships between words based on the contexts in which they appear in large text corpora. Example: In Word2Vec, the relationship between words can be algebraically represented: king = man + woman = queen. This captures semantic and gender relationships. 2. Graph Representations: a, Knowledge Graphs: Description: A knowledge graph is a structured representation of information where entities (nodes) are connected by relationships (edges). It's used to represent how different pieces of information are related. Example: In a knowledge graph, “Barack Obama’ would be connected to "President of the USA", “born in Hawaii", and "married to Michelle Obama”, Google uses knowledge graphs for search results and question answering.'b, Dependency Trees: + Description: Dependency trees represent syntactic relationships between words in a sentence, Each node corresponds toa word, and the edges represent grammatical dependencies (e.9., subject-verb, verb-object), + Example: in the sentence "The cat chased the mouse’, the word “chased is the root verb, “cat” is the subject linked to the verb, and "mouse" is the object linked to the verb. 3. Symbolic Representations: a. Rule-based Systems: + Description: These systems use explicitly defined rules (e.g, “if-then" logic) to represent and process language or knowledge. They were an early form of Al and are still used in some NLP systems like chatbots. + Example: A rule-based system for medical diagnosis might have rules like: “If the patient has a fever and a cough, then the patient may have the flu.” b. Formal Grammars: «Description: Formal grammars describe the possible sequences of symbols in a language, ‘typically used in programming language compilers and parsers. They define a set of production rules that specify how symbols can be combined + Example: Context-free grammars are used to define the syntax of programming languages. A simple rule might say that a valid expression consists of an identifier followed by an operator and another identifier (e.g., x + y). 6a. Enumerate the concept of L1 and L2 regularization in detail. Regularization is a technique used in machine learning and deep learning to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty term to the model's loss function. Overfitting occurs when a madel performs well on training data but poorly on unseen data, typically because the model is too complex and is fitting noise or outliers in the training data. L1 and L2 regularization are the most common types of regularization 1. L1 Regularization (Lasso) L1 regularization, also known as Lasso (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator), adds a penalty equal to the absolute value of the magnitude of coefficients to the loss function,+ Mathematical Formula: © The regularized loss function with Lt regularization is: L = Ly +A¥ |wil co Where: + dq is the original loss (such as Mean Squared Error for regression). + Ais the regularization parameter, controlling the amount of regularization. + Zw)| isthe sum of the absolute values of the model weights. «Key Characteristics: 1. Sparse Solutions: + L1 regularization tends to drive some of the weights to exactly zero, creating a sparse model. This effectively removes irrelevant features, acting as a feature selection method 2. Feature Selection: + By shrinking the weights of same features to zero, L1 regularization selects only the most important features, making it useful when dealing with high- dimensional datasets where many features may be redundant or irrelevant. 3% Bias-Variance Tradeoff. + L1 regularization introduces bias into the model (the coefficients are pushed towards zero), but this reduces variance, helping prevent overfitting. + Example Use Case: © When you have a dataset with many irrelevant or redundant features, L1 regularization is particularly useful because it effectively performs feature selection, retaining only the most important features in the model + Gradient Calculation: e The gradient of the L1 term (Alwyl) is either +4 or —A , depending on the sign of w, . This means that weights are pushed toward zero by a constant amount during gradient updates. Where L1 Regularization is Used: + Sparse Models: In cases where only a small number of features are significant, and the model should focus on those, L1 regularization can simplify the model,+ Feature Selection: In scenarios where you want to automatically reduce the feature space and keep only the most impartant variables. © Example: 1 is used in Lasso Regression, which performs both linear regression and feature selection. + Compressed Sensing: This is used in signa! processing, where L1 regularization can recover sparse signals from a small number of measurements. Advantages of L1 Regularization: + Feature Selection: L1 can shrink some weights to exactly zero, remaving irrelevant features + Sparsity: It promotes sparsity in the model, making it easier to interpret. 2. L2 Regularization (Ridge) L2 regularization, also known as Ridge regression, adds a penalty equal to the square of the magnitude of coefficients to the loss function. + Mathematical Formula: © The regularized loss function with L2 regularization is: L = Ly + AL w? o Where: * Lg is the original loss function, + Ais the regularization parameter (controlling regularization strength). * Sw? is the sum of the squared weights, + Key Characteristics: 1 Weight Shrinkage; + L2 regularization penalizes large weights but does not drive them exactly to zero. Instead, it shrinks them, making the model more robust to multicollinearity (high correlation between features) and overfitting. 2, No Feature Selection: + Unlike L1 regularization, L2 regularization keeps all features, as none of the weights are reduced to zero. However, it reduces the impact of less important features by making their weights smaller,Smooth Weight Distribution: + L2 regularization results in a more smooth weight distribution, where weights are more evenly spread across features, rather than some being zero (as in L1), Bias-Variance Tradeoff: + L2 regularization increases bias by shrinking weights toward zero, but like L1, it reduces variance, improving the model's generalization. Example Use Case: © L2 regularization is often used when all features are expected to contribute to the outcome but with varying degrees of importance. It's useful for problems where the relationship between features and output is spread across many variables, Gradient Calculation: © The gradient of the L2 term (Aw?) is 2Awss, which shrinks the weights during gradient updates proportionally to their current value, This smooths out large weights but doesn't drive them to zero, Where L2 Regularization is Used: Linear Models: In linear regression models with highly correlated features, L2 regularization is. helpful to improve stability, © Example: Ridge regression is a popular technique for handling multicollinear data by controlling the size of coefficients. Neural Networks: In deep learning, L2 regularization (known as weight decay) is commonly used to prevent the model from becoming overly complex and memorizing the training data Logistic Regression and SVM: L? regularization is widely used in logistic regression and support vector machines (SVMs) to ensure generalization by shrinking weights without setting them to zero, Advantages of L2 Regularization: Smooth Solutions: L2 regularization tends to distribute the impact of the input features more evenly, making the model more stable. Prevents Overfitting: By shrinking the weights, L2 regularization helps reduce the complexity of the model, preventing it from averfitting to the training data.Choosing Between L1 and L2 Regularization Use L1 regularization: When you suspect that many features are irrelevant and want the model to automatically perform feature selection, In cases where interpretability is important, as L1 can lead to sparse solutions, For tasks such as text classification or image processing with high-dimensional sparse data, Use L2 regularization: When you believe that all features contribute to the prediction but need to shrink their coefficients to avoid overfitting, When working with correlated features, as L2 can distribute weights more smoothly across features. In deep teaming and neural networks, where L2 regularization (as weight decay) helps generalization without eliminating features, 6b. What are Parameters we use to improve the performance of Deep Networks? Parameters for Improving Deep Network Performance Deep networks are powerful machine learning models, but their performance can be significantly impacted by the choice of parameters. Here are some key parameters to consider: Network Architecture Number of Layers: increasing the number of layers can improve model capacity but can also lead to overfitting if not properly regularized, Number of Neurons per Layer: A larger number of neurons can increase model capacity, but it can also increase computational cost and potentially lead to overfitting Activation Functions: The choice of activation function (e.g, ReLU, sigmoid, tanh) can impact the network's ability to learn complex patterns. Regularization Techniques: Techniques like L1 and L2 regularization can help prevent overfitting, Training Parameters+ Learning Rate: Controls the step size during optimization. A smaller learning rate can lead to slower convergence but may help avoid overfitting. + Batch Size: The number of samples processed in each iteration. A larger batch size can improve training stability but may also require more memory. + Optimizer: The algorithm used to update weights during tra 19 (@.g., SGD, Adam, RMSprop). + Epochs: The number of complete passes through the training dataset. More epachs can improve performance but may also lead to overfitting. Data * Quality: High-quality, relevant data is essential for training effective deep networks. * Quantity: A larger dataset can improve generalization but may also require more computational resources. + Preprocessing: Techniques like normalization, standardization, and feature engineering can improve model performance. 7. Explain the Google duplex project. Google Duplex Project Google Duplex is an Al-powered voice assistant technology developed by Google, designed to carry out natural-sounding conversations over the phone to perform tasks on behalf of users. It was introduced by Google at the I/O conference in 2018, and it uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) and speech synthesis to interact with humans seamlessly. Key Features of Google Duplex: 1. Natural Human-Like Conversations: Duplex can mimic human speech patterns, including pausing, using filler words like * and adjusting its tone to make conversations sound natural. This reduces the likelihood that people on the other end realize they are talking to a machine. 2. Specific Task-Oriented: ‘0 The system is designed to perform specific, narrowly defined tasks, such as booking a restaurant reservation, scheduling a hair salon appointment, or inquiring about business hours. It doesn't handle general conversations like a typical voice assistant.3. Aland Machine Learning: Duplex uses machine learning models that have been trained on millions of phone call recordings to understand the nuances of natural speech. It relies on recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and deep learning to handle speech recagnition and synthesis 4. Speech Recognition and Generation: © Duplex’s speech generation is advanced, allowing it to understand not only the words spoken but also the context of the conversation, For instance, it can handle interruptions, unclear responses, or changes in the conversation flow. 5. Natural Language Understanding (NLU): © Duplex uses Natural Language Understanding to parse and understand complex queries, It can interpret a wide range of voice-based inputs, including indirect or vague responses, and respond appropriately. Working of Google Duplex: 1. Task Request: © The user gives Geogle Assistant a command, such as "Book a reservation for dinner at 7 PM at this restaurant." 2. Duplex’s Role: © Duplex makes the call to the restaurant, interacts with the human on the other end, and handles the conversation as a human would. 3. Conversation Flow: ©. Ifthe person on the other end asks for additional details or provides altemative times, Duplex can handle the conversation dynamically by processing the inputs and responding with appropriate answers, 4. Follow-ups: © Duplex can ask for clarification if needed, such as asking for available times or confirming details. Once the task is completed, Duplex provides the user with a summary of the reservation or appointment,Use Cases: 1. Restaurant Reservations: > Google Duplex can call a restaurant, inquire about table availability, and make a reservation on the user's behalf. 2. Hair Salon Appointments: © It can schedule a haircut or salon appointment by conversing with the receptionist and confirming available slots. 3. Business Information Requests Duplex can make calls to check business hours during holidays or inquire about other basic business information. Google Duplex is a promising technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with voice assistants, However, there are still some challenges that need to be addressed before Google Duplex can be widely released. These challenges include * Accuracy: Google Duplex needs to be more accurate in understanding the user's words and generating natural-sounding speech © Security: Google Duplex needs to be secure so that users can be confident that thei conversations are private. © Acceptance: Google Duplex needs te be accepted by users before it can be widely used Benefits of Google Duplex: «Convenience: Users can easily get things done without having to make phone calls themselves. «Efficiency: The system can complete tasks quickly and accurately. + Accessibility: Google Duplex can be helpful for people who have difficulty making phone calls a. Explain feed forward and backward propagation in deep learning. Feed Forward and Backward Propagation in Deep Learning In deep learning, two key processes drive the learning of neural networks: feedforward propagation and backward propagation. Together, these steps enable the network to adjust its weights and biases to minimize error and make accurate predictions1. Feed Forward Propagation Feedforward propagation is the process through which inputs pass through the neural network to produce an output. This is the forward flow of data from the input layer to the output layer. Feed-Forward Neural Network ptr pt trent @rtine @ " uiptoa reed Prd apts output Outputs ® Error - difference (@) behest @.

Input Layer: The process begins at the input layer, where data (e., data) is fed into the network. ages, text, or any structured 2 Each input neuron receives a feature value and passes it to the next layer. 2. Weighted Sum and Bias: © Each neuron in a layer performs a weighted sum of the input data and adds a bias ‘term. The formula for each neuron z is: z= SLyw) xj +b © where wiw_iwi is the weight, xix_ixi is the input feature, and bbb is the bias term, 3. Activation Function: o The output of the weighted sum is then passed through an activation function (like ReLU, Sigmoid, Tanh) to introduce non-linearity into the network. This enables the network to learn complex patterns and relationships. a=Activation(z) © Without the activation function, the network would only be able to model linear relationships.4. Hidden Layers: © The data passes through several hidden layers in a similar manner. Each hidden layer transforms the data by applying the same steps: weighted sum, bias addition, and activation function. 0 The network learns intermediate representations of the input data through these hidden layers. 5, Output Layer: © After passing through all the hidden layers, the data reaches the output layer. 2 The output layer produces the network's prediction. For classification tasks, this often involves applying a Softmax or Sigmaid function to the output to get probabilities for each class. 6. Prediction: The final output is the model's prediction based on the current weights and biases of the network. 2. Backward Propagation Backward propagation (or backpropagation) is the process through which the network learns by updating its weights and biases to minimize the error in predictions. It works by calculating the gradients of the loss function with respect to each weight and bias in the network using the chain rule of calculus. These gradients are then used to update the parameters. Backpropagation Erevan to J teh rar nacat @ ancien Geadent ef errr te rvop~” between predicted cutputend chsSteps in Backward Propagation: 1. Calculate Loss: 2 Once feedforward propagation is complete and the network produces a prediction, the error (or loss) between the prediction and the true output is calculated using a loss function (e.g. mean squared error for regression, or cross-entropy loss for classification) Loss = L(F.¥) where # is the predicted output, and yis the true output. 2. Compute Gradients Using Chain Rule: 2 The goal of backward propagation is to update the weights and biases in the network to minimize the loss. To do this, we need to calculate how sensitive the loss function is to each weight and bias. This is done by computing the gradients of the loss function with respect to each parameter (weight and bias) using the chain rule of caleulus ° The partial derivatives of the loss with respect to each weight are calculated layer by layer, starting from the output and working backward to the input. 3. Gradient Descent: © Once the gradients are calculated, the weights and biases are updated using an optimization algorithm like Gradient Descent or ane of its variants (¢.g., Stochastic Gradient Descent, Adam). The weight update formula is: au new — wold _ w! w' ne where 1 is the learning rate, and > is the gradient of the loss with respect to the weight, 4. Propagation of Gradients: 2 Gradients are propagated backward through each layer, starting from the output layer and moving towards the input layer. Each weight is updated based on how much it contributed to the final error. ° This process of updating weights continues through all the layers, ensuring that every parameter is optimized to reduce the overall loss. 5. Repeat the Process:© Backpropagation is repeated for many iterations (also called epochs). Over time, the network's weights are fine-tuned to minimize the loss, resulting in better predictions. 8b. What are the common activation functions used in deep learning? In deep learning, activation functions play a crucial role by introducing non-linearity into the network, enal it to leam complex patterns and relationships. Here are the mast common activation functions used in deep learning 1. ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) + Equation: f(x) = max(0,x) + Description: ReLU is one of the most widely used activation functions in deep learning, especially in hidden layers. It returns the input value if positive, and 0 if negative. + Advantages: © Computationally Efficient: Simple and fast to compute. ° Helps Avoid Vanishing Gradients: Solves the vanishing gradient problem to some extent by keeping positive values intact. ° Sparse Activation: Since many neurons output 0, it introduces sparsity, making the model efficient. + Disadvantags © Bying ReLU Problem: Neurons can "die" if they only output 0, meaning their weights will not update during training. 2. Sigmoid (Logistic) 1 wee + Equation: f(x) = + Description: The sigmoid function maps input values to a range between 0 and 1, which makes it suitable for binary classification problems. + Advantages: © Output Range: Ideal for probabilistic interpretations (e.g., outputting a probability for binary classification), + Disadvantages° ° ° 3. Softmax + Equation: : f( Vanishing Gradient Problem: The gradient becomes very small for large positive or negative inputs, which slows down learning.

What is optimiza’ Not for Hidden Layers: Softmax is typically used only in the output layer, as its primary function is for multiclass classification. ‘Numerical Stability: In extreme cases, it can suffer from numerical instability, but this can be mitigated by techniques like subtracting the maximum logit before computing the exponentials. ? What are the measures used to mini about types of Optimizers. Optimization in Deep Learning ‘Optimization in deep learning refers to the process of adjusting the parameters (weights and biases) of a model to minimize the cost function (or loss function). The goal is to find the best set of parameters that leads to the lowest possible error, improving the model's ability to make accurate predictions.Measures to Minimize Cost Minimizing the cost or loss function is essential in optimization. Here are some key measures used to achieve this: 1. Gradient Descent: 2 The most common optimization algorithm, which works by updating model parameters in the opposite direction of the gradient of the cost function with respect to the parameters © Update Rule: @ = 4-1 - UJ(8) Where: * 6: Parameters of the model (weights and biases) © eLearning rate (step size) © Fo/(Q): Gradient of the cost function with respect to the parameters © Variants of gradient descent like stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and mini-batch gradient descent are widely used 2. Regularization (L1/L2 Regularization) © Adding regularization terms to the cost function to penalize large weights, which helps prevent overfitting. © Lt regularization adds a penalty proportional to the absolute value of the weights, and (2 regularization adds a penalty proportional to the square of the weights. © Regularization helps smooth the loss function, making it easier to optimize and generalize. 3. Learning Rate: © The learning rate determines the size of the steps taken towards minimizing the cost function. A small learning rate can lead to slow convergence, while a large one might cause the model to overshoot the optimal solution. © Techniques like learning rate schedules (decaying the learning rate) or adaptive learning rates (used in optimizers like Adam) help improve optimization. 4. Batch Normalization:‘Normalizing the inputs to each layer so that the network trains faster by reducing internal covariate shifts. This stabilizes learning and allows for faster optimization. 5. Early Stopping: ‘2 During training, the model is stopped when its performance on the validation set starts to degrade, preventing overfitting. Types of Optimizers in Deep Learning Optimizers are algorithms used to minimize the loss function by updating the model's parameters. Below are some common types of optimizers used in deep leaming: 1. Gradient Descent + Types: © Batch Gradient Descent: Uses the entire dataset to compute the gradient for a single update. © Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD): Updates the parameters using one training example at a time, which introduces noise into the process but allows for faster updates e Mini-Batch Gradient Descent: A compromise between batch and stochastic, it uses small batches of data for each update. 2. RMSprop (Root Mean Squared Propagation) + Description: RMSprop is designed to overcome the leaming rate decay problem of AdaGrad by maintaining a running average of the squared gradients, leading to a more balanced learning rate over time «+ Update Rule: E[g7}. = yElg?}r-1 + (1— rg? Where: + y: Decay rate (typically 0.9) + E[g?]_: Exponentially decaying average of squared gradients 3. Adam (Adaptive Moment Estimation) + Description: Adam is one of the most popular and effective optimizers. It combines the ideas of both momentum and RMSprop, computing adaptive learning rates for each parameter by keeping track of both the first and second moments of the gradients (mean and variance).+ Update Rule: m, = fim, + (1 — By) > Pol (@) P= Potro +1 — By) - Mos (0* © Where: +m: Exponentially decaying average of past gradients (1st moment) +», Exponentially decaying average of past squared gradients (2nd moment) 10. How to improve Deep learning using weight initialization. Weight initialization plays a crucial role in improving the training process of deep learning models. Proper weight initialization helps in ensuring faster convergence and prevents problems like vanishing of exploding gradients, which can hinder model performance. Standard Weight initialization Methods i. Xavier (Glorot) Initialization » Used for: Activation functions like sigmoid and tanh. + Concept: This method sets the initial weights based on the number of input and output units in the layer. It helps in maintaining the variance of the gradients across layers. + Formula: W~N O=— Where: © fanavg = (ee penout © fan_in: Number of input u © fan_out: Number of output units initialization + Used for: Activation functions like ReLU and its variants. + Concept He initialization is specifically designed for ReLU activations, which only propagate positive values, It ensures that the gradients remain large enough to avoid vanishing but not too large to explode. + Formula: Ww ~w (0,+ Where: © fan.in: Number of input units to the layer. ili, Uniform Initialization + Concept: Randomly initializes the weights from a unifarm distribution within a specified range, such as 1-0.05, 0.05). «Formula: W ~ U(--—=—= oes Viana’ Vranin iv, Zeros and Ones Initialization + Concept: Initializing biases to zeros is common, but initializing weights to zero or ones will cause neurons to learn the same features, which prevents meaningful learning. As such, weight matrices should not be initialized this way By carefully initializing the weights, we can: + Prevent vanishing or exploding gradients: This occurs when gradients become too small or too large, making it difficult for the network ta learn, + Speed up convergence: Good initialization can help the network converge more quickly to a good solution. + Improve generalization: Proper initialization can help the network generalize better to unseen data. Choosing the Right Technique ‘The best weight initialization technique depends on several factors, including « Network architecture: The number of layers, neurons, and activation functions can influence the choice of initialization. + Problem type: Different problems may require different initialization techniques. + Experimentation: It's often helpful to try different techniques and see which one works best for your specific problem. Where Weight Initialization Techniques are Used + Deep Neural Networks (DNNs); Efficient initialization is key to training deep architectures, as ization leads to slow convergence or training failureConvolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): The filters in CNNs benefit from metheds like He initialization, especially when using ReLU activations. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs, LSTMs): Specialized initialization like orthogonal initialization is. used to maintain the gradient stability across many time steps. Transformer Networks: Modern networks like transformers may use custom initialization strategies, including scaling factors for attention weights.
