Supervised learning
• Define a mapping from input to output
• Learn this mapping from paired input/output data examples
Regression

• Univariate regression problem (one output, real value)


• Fully connected network
Graph regression

• Multivariate regression problem (>1 output, real value)


• Graph neural network
Text classification

• Binary classification problem (two discrete classes)


• Transformer network
Music genre classification

• Multiclass classification problem (discrete classes, >2 possible values)


• Recurrent neural network (RNN)
Image classification

• Multiclass classification problem (discrete classes, >2 possible classes)


• Convolutional network
What is a supervised learning
model?

• An equation relating input (age) to output (height)


• Search through family of possible equations to find one that fits training data well
What is a supervised learning
model?

• Deep neural networks are just a very flexible family of equations


• Fitting deep neural networks = “Deep Learning”
Image segmentation

• Multivariate binary classification problem (many outputs, two discrete classes)


• Convolutional encoder-decoder network
Depth estimation

• Multivariate regression problem (many outputs, continuous)


• Convolutional encoder-decoder network
Pose estimation

• Multivariate regression problem (many outputs, continuous)


• Convolutional encoder-decoder network
Terms
• Regression = continuous numbers as output
• Classification = discrete classes as output
• Two class and multiclass classification treated differently
• Univariate = one output
• Multivariate = more than one output
Translation
Image captioning
Image generation from text
What do these examples have in
common?
• Very complex relationship between input and output
• Sometimes may be many possible valid answers
• But outputs (and sometimes inputs) obey rules

Language obeys Natural images also


grammatical rules have “rules”
Idea
• Learn the “grammar” of the data from unlabeled examples
• Can use a gargantuan amount of data to do this (as unlabeled)
• Make the supervised learning task earlier by having a lot of
knowledge of possible outputs
Unsupervised Learning
• Learning about a dataset without labels
• Clustering
• Finding outliers
• Generating new examples
• Filling in missing data

Why should this work?
Interpolation
Conditional synthesis
Reinforcement learning
• A set of states
• A set of actions
• A set of rewards

• Goal: take actions to change the state so that you receive rewards

• You don’t receive any data – you have to explore the environment
yourself to gather data as you go
Example: chess
• States are valid states of the chess board
• Actions at a given time are valid possible moves
• Positive rewards for taking pieces, negative rewards for losing them
Example: chess
• States are valid states of the chess board
• Actions at a given time are valid possible moves
• Positive rewards for taking pieces, negative rewards for losing them
Why is this difficult?
• Stochastic
• Make the same move twice, the opponent might not do the same thing
• Rewards also stochastic (opponent does or doesn’t take your piece)
• Temporal credit assignment problem
• Did we get the reward because of this move? Or because we made good
tactical decisions somewhere in the past?
• Exploration-exploitation trade-off
• If we found a good opening, should we use this?
• Or should we try other things, hoping for something better?
