2.1. 监督学习实践1 - 回归与优化

源自 UFLDL Tutorial , 原始代码可以从这里( GitHub repository )一次性下载. 需要注意的是有些数据需要自己去下载, 比如, 在做PCA的练习时, 需要下载MNIST数据集, 可以到 THE MNIST DATABASE 下载.

2.1.1. 线性回归

线性回归预测房价

Exercise 1A:线性回归预测房价, 只需补充目标函数及其梯度, 计算公式见原网页 :

补充代码

linear_regression.m

%%% YOUR CODE HERE %%%
theta = theta';
%Compute the linear regression objective
for j = 1:m
    f = f + (theta*X(:,j) - y(j))^2;
end
f = f/2;

%Compute the gradient of the objective
for j = 1:m
    g = g + X(:,j)*(theta*X(:,j) - y(j));
end

实验结果

如原文所述, 训练和测试误差一般在\(4.5\)\(5\)之间, 本人实验结果如 图 2.17 所示:

Optimization took 1.780584 seconds.
RMS training error: 4.731236
RMS testing error: 4.584099

2.1.2. Logistic Regression

Logistic Regression

上面的线性回归有两个特点:

  • 预测连续值(房价);

  • 输出是输入的 线性函数( \(y=h_{\theta}(x)=\theta^Tx\) );

  • 代价函数为均方误差函数.

Logistic Regression:

  • 预测离散值, 通常用于分类;

  • 输出是输入的非线性函数(sigmoid或Logistic):\(y=h_{\theta}(x)=\sigma(\theta^Tx)\), \(\sigma(z)={1\over 1+exp(-z)}\)

  • 代价函数取交叉熵(概率模型推), 最大似然, 见CS229 Notes).

Logistic Regression手写体分类

Logistic分类, 用于手写体. 只需补充目标函数及其梯度, 计算公式见原网页, 推导见 CS229 Notes

补充代码 与线性回归基本相同, 只是假设\(y=h_{\theta}(x)=\sigma(\theta^Tx)\), \(\sigma(z)={1\over 1+exp(-z)}\)为sigmoid函数, 不再是线性函数.

%%% YOUR CODE HERE %%%

%Compute the linear regression objective and it's gradient
for j = 1:m
    coItem = sigmoid(theta'*X(:,j));
    f = f - y(j)*log(coItem) - (1-y(j))*log(1-coItem);
    g = g + X(:,j)*(coItem-y(j));
end

实验结果

如原网页所述, 最终训练和测试精度都为100%, 本人实验结果:

Optimization took 15.115248 seconds.
Training accuracy: 100.0%
Test accuracy: 100.0%

2.1.3. Vectorization

Vectorization

补充代码

需要取消ex1a_linreg.mex1b_logreg.m文件中下面的注释:

ex1a_linreg.m

% theta = rand(n,1);
% tic;
% theta = minFunc(@linear_regression_vec, theta, options, train.X, train.y);
% fprintf('Optimization took %f seconds.\n', toc);

ex1b_logreg.m

% theta = rand(n,1)*0.001;
% tic;
% theta=minFunc(@logistic_regression_vec, theta, options, train.X, train.y);
% fprintf('Optimization took %f seconds.\n', toc);

linear_regression_vec.m

%%% YOUR CODE HERE %%%
f = (norm(theta'*X - y))^2 / 2;
g = X*(theta'*X-y)';

logistic_regression_vec.m

%%% YOUR CODE HERE %%%
coItem = sigmoid(theta'*X);
f = -log(coItem)*y' -log(1-coItem)*(1-y)';
g = X*(coItem-y)';

实验结果

速度快了好些, 如下:

线性回归:

Optimization took 0.032485 seconds.(矢量化前约0.3s)
RMS training error: 4.023758
RMS testing error: 6.783703

Logistic分类:

Optimization took 3.419164 seconds.(矢量化前约12s)
Training accuracy: 100.0%
Test accuracy: 100.0%

Debugging: Gradient Checking
