Introduction (1)

• Training a neural network– perform a specific processing function

1) 어떤 parameter?

2) how used to control the training process

3) management of the training data - training process 에 미치는 영향 ?

– Development Process• 1) Data preparation• 2) neural network model & architecture 선택• 3) train the neural network

– neural network 의 구조와 그 function 에 의해 결정– Application– “trained”

Introduction (2)

• Learning Parameters for Neural Network

• Disciplined approach to iterative neural network development

Introduction (3)

When Is the Neural Network Trained?

• When the network is trained?– the type of neural network

– the function performing• classification

• clustering data

• build a model or time-series forecast

– the acceptance criteria• meets the specified accuracy

– the connection weights are “locked”

– cannot be adjusted

When Is the Neural Network Trained? Classification (1)

• Measure of success : percentage of correct classification– incorrect classification

– no classification : unknown, undecided

• threshold limit

When Is the Neural Network Trained? Classification (2)

Category A Category B Category C

Category A 0.6 0.25 0.15

Category B 0.25 0.45 0.3

Category C 0.15 0.3 0.55

•confusion matrix : possible output categories and the corresponding percentage of correct and incorrect classifications

When Is the Neural Network Trained? Clustering (1)

• Output a of clustering network– open to analysis by the user

• Training regimen is determined:– the number of times the data is presented to the neural

network– how fast the learning rate and the neighborhood decay

• Adaptive resonance network training (ART)– vigilance training parameter– learn rate

When Is the Neural Network Trained? Clustering (2)

• Lock the ART network weights– disadvantage : online learning

• ART network are sensitive to the order of the training data

When Is the Neural Network Trained? Modeling (1)

• Modeling or regression problems• Usual Error measure

– RMS(Root Square Error)

• Measure of Prediction accuracy– average– MSE(Mean Square Error)– RMS(Root Square Error)

• The Expected behavior– 초기의 RMS error 는 매우 높으나 , 점차 stable

minimum 으로 안정화된다

When Is the Neural Network Trained? Modeling (2)

When Is the Neural Network Trained? Modeling (3)

• 안정화되지 않는 경우– network fall into a local minima

• the prediction error doesn’t fall• oscillating up and down

– 해결 방법• reset(randomize) weight and start again• training parameter• data representation• model architecture

When Is the Neural Network Trained?

Forecasting (1)• Forecasting– prediction problem– RMS(Root Square Error)– visualize : time plot of the actual and desired network

output• Time-series forecasting

– long-term trend• influenced by cyclical factor etc.

– random component• variability and uncertainty

– neural network are excellent tools for modeling complex time-series problems

• recurrent neural network : nonlinear dynamic systems– no self-feedback loop & no hidden neurons

Controlling the Training Process with Learning Parameters (1)

• Learning Parameters depends on– Type of learning algorithm– Type of neural network

Controlling the Training Process with Learning Parameters (2)

DesiredOutput

DesiredOutput

1) How the error is computed2) How big a step we take when adjusting the

connection weights

Controlling the Training Process with Learning Parameters (3)

- Supervised training

• Learning rate– magnitude of the change when adjusting the connection

weights– the current training pattern and desired output

• large rate– giant oscillations

• small rate– to learn the major features of the problem

• generalize to patterns

Controlling the Training Process with Learning Parameters (4)

- Supervised training

• Momentum– filter out high-frequency changes in the weight values– oscillating around a set values 방지– Error 가 오랫동안 영향을 미친다

• Error tolerance– how close is close enough– 많은 경우 0.1– 필요성

• net input must be quite large?

Controlling the Training Process with Learning Parameters (5)

-Unsupervised learning

• Parameter– selection for the number of outputs

• granularity of the segmentation(clustering, segmentation)

– learning parameters (architecture is set)• neighborhood parameter : Kohonen maps• vigilance parameter : ART

Controlling the Training Process with Learning Parameters (6)

-Unsupervised learning

• Neighborhood– the area around the winning unit, where the non-wining

units will also be modified– roughly half the size of maximum dimension of the out

put layer– 2 methods for controlling

• square neighborhood function, linear decrease in the learning rate

• Gaussian shaped neighborhood, exponential decay of the learning rate

– the number of epochs parameter– important in keeping the locality of the topographic am

ps

Controlling the Training Process with Learning Parameters (7)

-Unsupervised learning

• Vigilance– control how picky the neural network is going to be

when clustering data– discriminating when evaluating the differences between

two patterns– close-enough– Too-high Vigilance

• use up all of the output units

Iterative Development Process (1)

• Network convergence issues– fall quickly and then stays flat / reach the global minim

a– oscillates up and down / trapped in a local minima– 문제의 해결 방법

• some random noise• reset the network weights and start all again• design decision

Iterative Development Process (2)

Iterative Development Process (3)

• Model selection– inappropriate neural network model for the function to

perform– add hidden units or another layer of hidden units– strong temporal or time element embedded

• recurrent back propagation• radial basis function network

• Data representation– key parameter is not scaled or coded– key parameter is missing from the training data– experience

Iterative Development Process (4)

• Model architecture– not converge : too complex for the architecture– some additional hidden units, good– adding many more?

• Just, Memorize the training patterns– Keeping the hidden layers as this as possible, get the

best results

Avoiding Over-training

• Over-training– 같은 pattern 을 계속적으로 학습– cannot generalize– 새로운 pattern 에 대한 처리– switch between training and testing data

Automating the Process

• Automate the selection of the appropriate number of hidden layers and hidden units– pruning out nodes and connections– genetic algorithms– opposite approach to pruning– the use of intelligent agents
