CS8082U4L03 RadialBasisFunctions

This document discusses the machine learning techniques unit on instance-based learning and radial basis functions. The unit objectives are to understand machine learning algorithms for problem solving and study supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised algorithms. The unit outcomes are to differentiate algorithm types, apply algorithms to problems, analyze appropriate algorithms, modify algorithms, and provide case studies on advanced methods. Radial basis functions provide a global approximation using local kernel functions, with each kernel only contributing near its center. Radial basis networks can be trained more efficiently than backpropagation networks since the input and output layers are trained separately.

Radial Basis Function
Understanding hypothesis in radial basis function

Even though f(x) is a global approximation to f(x) , the contribution


from each of the K terms is localized to a region nearby the point Xu.
Summary

 Radial basis function networks provide a global approximation to


the target function, represented by a linear combination of many
local kernel functions.
 The value for any given kernel function is non-negligible only when
the input x falls into the region defined by its particular center and
width.
 Thus, the network can be viewed as a smooth linear combination of
many local approximations to the target function.
Summary

 One key advantage to RBF networks is that they can be trained


much more efficiently than feedforward networks trained with
backpropagation.
 This follows from the fact that the input layer and the output layer
of an RBF are trained separately.
