深度学习 Deep Learning UFLDL 最新 Tutorial 学习笔记 1：Linear Regression

1 前言

Andrew Ng的UFLDL在2014年9月底更新了。

对于開始研究Deep Learning的童鞋们来说这真的是极大的好消息!

新的Tutorial相比旧的Tutorial添加了Convolutional Neural Network的内容。了解的童鞋都知道CNN在Computer Vision的重大影响。

而且从新编排了内容及exercises。

2 Linear Regression 理论简述

对于线性回归Linear Regression，恐怕大部分童鞋都了解。简单的说

线性回归问题就是一个目标值y取决于一组输入值x。我们要寻找一个最合适的如果Hypothesis来描写叙述这个y与x的关系。然后利用这个Hypothesis来预測新的输入x相应的y。

这是个简单的最优化问题。我们须要一个代价函数cost function来描写叙述在training set样本中的y与通过h函数预測的y之间的差距，从而利用这个cost function通过Gradient Decent梯度下降法来计算h的最优參数从而得到最优的h。

由于是通过样本让计算机“学习”合适的參数theta，因此这是一个最主要的机器学习算法。

cost function：

J(θ)=12∑i(hθ(x(i))−y(i))2=12∑i(θ⊤x(i)−y(i))2

对theta做偏导：

Differentiating the cost function J(θ) as given above with respect to a particular parameter θj gives us:

∂J(θ)∂θj=∑ix(i)j(hθ(x(i))−y(i))

3.2 linear_regression.m code

function [f,g] = linear_regression(theta, X,y)
  %
  % Arguments:
  %   theta - A vector containing the parameter values to optimize.
  %   X - The examples stored in a matrix.
  %       X(i,j) is the i'th coordinate of the j'th example.
  %   y - The target value for each example.  y(j) is the target for example j.
  %

  m=size(X,2);
  n=size(X,1);

  f=0;
  g=zeros(size(theta));

  %
  % TODO:  Compute the linear regression objective by looping over the examples in X.
  %        Store the objective function value in 'f'.
  %
  % TODO:  Compute the gradient of the objective with respect to theta by looping over
  %        the examples in X and adding up the gradient for each example.  Store the
  %        computed gradient in 'g'.

%%% YOUR CODE HERE %%%

% Step 1 : Compute f cost function
for i = 1:m
    f = f + (theta' * X(:,i) - y(i))^2;
end

f = 1/2*f;

% Step 2: Compute gradient 

for j = 1:n
    for i = 1:m
        g(j) = g(j) + X(j,i)*(theta' * X(:,i) - y(i));
    end

end
