6
The Multivariate Gaussian Density
  • p(x?,?) exp( -½ (x ?)t ?-1 (x ?) )/
    (2?)D/2?½

7
The Beta Density
  • p(?a,b) ?a-1(1 ?)b-1 ?(ab) / ?(a)?(b)

8
Probability Distribution Functions
  • Bernoulli Single trial with probability of
    success ?
  • n ? 0, 1, ? ? 0, 1
  • p(n?) ? n(1 ?)1-n
  • Binomial N iid Bernoulli trials with n
    successes
  • n ? 0, 1, , N, ? ? 0, 1,
  • p(nN,?) NCn? n(1 ?)N-n

A Toy Example
  • We dont know whether a coin is fair or not. We
    are told that heads occurred n times in N coin
    flips.
  • We are asked to predict whether the next coin
    flip will result in a head or a tail.
  • Let y be a binary random variable such that y
    1 represents the event that the next coin flip
    will be a head and y 0 that it will be a tail
  • We should predict heads if p(y1n,N) gt
    p(y0n,N)

10
The Maximum Likelihood Approach
  • Let p(y1n,N) ? and p(y0n,N) 1 - ? so
    that we should predict heads if ? gt ½
  • How should we estimate ??
  • Assuming that the observed coin flips followed a
    Binomial distribution, we could choose the value
    of ? that maximizes the likelihood of observing
    the data
  • ?ML argmax? p(n?) argmax? NCn? n(1 ?)N-n
  • argmax? n log(?) (N n) log(1 ?)
  • n / N
  • We should predict heads if n gt ½ N

11
The Maximum A Posteriori Approach
  • We should choose the value of ? maximizing the
    posterior probability of ? conditioned on the
    data
  • We assume a
  • Binomial likelihood p(n?) NCn? n(1 ?)N-n
  • Beta prior p(?a,b)?a-1(1?)b-1?(ab)/?(a)?(b)
  • ?MAP argmax? p(?n,a,b) argmax? p(n?)
    p(?a,b)
  • argmax? ?n (1 ?)N-n ?a-1 (1?)b-1
  • (na-1) / (Nab-2) as if we saw an extra a
    1 heads b 1 tails
  • We should predict heads if n gt ½ (N b a)

12
The Bayesian Approach
  • We should marginalize over ?
  • p(y1n,a,b) ?? p(y1n,?) p(?a,b,n) d?
  • ?? ? p(?a,b,n) d?
  • ?? ? ?(?a n, b N n) d?
  • (n a) / (N a b) as if we saw an extra a
    heads b tails
  • We should predict heads if n gt ½ (N b a)
  • The Bayesian and MAP prediction coincide in this
    case
  • In the very large data limit, both the Bayesian
    and MAP prediction coincide with the ML
    prediction (n gt ½ N)

Approaches to Classification
  • Memorization
  • Can not deal with previously unseen data
  • Large scale annotated data acquisition cost
    might be very high
  • Rule based expert system
  • Dependent on the competence of the expert.
  • Complex problems lead to a proliferation of
    rules, exceptions, exceptions to exceptions, etc.
  • Rules might not transfer to similar problems
  • Learning from training data and prior knowledge
  • Focuses on generalization to novel data

21
Notation
  • Training Data
  • Set of N labeled examples of the form (xi, yi)
  • Feature vector x ? ?D. X x1 x2 xN
  • Label y ? ?1. y y1, y2 yNt. Ydiag(y)
  • Example Gender Identification

(x1 , y1 1)
(x2 , y2 1)
(x3 , y3 1)
(x4 , y4 -1)

Machine Learning from the Optimization View
  • Before we go into the details of classification
    and regression methods, we should take a close
    look at the objective functions of machine
    learning

  • ????????????????,???????????,?????????????????

25
Supervised Learning
26
Common Form of Supervised Learning Problems
  • Minimize the following objective function
  • Regularization term Loss function
  • Regularization term control the model
    complexity, avoid over fitting
  • Loss function measure the quality of the learned
    function, i.e. predict error on the training data.

27
Ex.1 Linear Regression
  • E(w) ½ Sn (yn - wtxn)2 ½?wtw

28
Ex.2 Logistic Regression (classification method)
  • ?(w, b) ½?wtw ?I log(1exp(-yi(bwtxi)))

29
Ex.3 SVM
  • E(w) ½?wtw ?I max(0,1-yiwtxi)
  • Or
  • E(w) ½?wtw ?I max(0,1-yiwtxi)2

30
How to measure error?
  • True yi
  • Predicted wtxi
  • ????????
  • I (yi ! wtxi )
  • ( yi - wtxi )2
  • ???????-1,1 ?????
  • yi wtxi

31

Convex Functions
  • Convex f f(?x1 (1- ?)x2) ? ? f(x1) (1-
    ?)f(x2)
  • The Hessian ?2f is always positive
    semi-definite
  • The tangent is always a lower bound to f

38
Gradient Descent
  • Iteration xn1 xn - ?n?f(xn)
  • Step size selection Armijo rule
  • Stopping criterion Change in f is miniscule

39
Gradient Descent Logistic Regression
  • ?(w, b) ½?wtw ?I log(1exp(-yi(bwtxi)))
  • ?w?(w, b) ?w ?I p(-yixi,w) yi xi
  • ?b?(w, b) ?I p(-yixi,w) yi
  • Beware of numerical issues while coding!

40
Gradient Decent Algorithm
  • Input x0, objective f(x), e, T
  • Output x_star that minimize f(x)
  • t0
  • While (t0 (f(x_t-1) f(x_t)gte
    Tlt100000 ))
  • g_t gradient of f(x) at x_t
  • for( i10 igt-6 i--)
  • s2i
  • x_t1x_t sg_t
  • if (f(x_t1 lt f(x_t))
  • break
  • t
  • Output x_t

41
Newton Methods
  • Iteration xn1 xn - ?nH-1?f(xn)
  • Approximate f by a 2nd order Taylor expansion
  • The error can now decrease quadratically

42
Newton Decent Algorithm
  • Input x0, objective f(x), e, T
  • Output x_star that minimize f(x)
  • t0
  • While (t0 (f(x_t-1) f(x_t)gte Tlt10))
  • g_t gradient of f(x) at x_t
  • h_t hessian matrix of f(x) at x_t
  • s inverse matrix of h_t
  • x_t1x_t sg_t
  • t
  • Output x_t

43
Quasi-Newton Methods
  • Computing and inverting the Hessian is expensive
  • Quasi-Newton methods can approximate H-1
    directly (LBFGS)
  • Iteration xn1 xn - ?nBn-1?f(xn)
  • Secant equation ?f(xn1) ?f(xn) Bn1(xn1
    xn)
  • The secant equation does not fully determine B
  • LBFGS updates Bn1-1 using two rank one matrices

44
Machine Learning Problems from the Probability
View
45
Bayes Decision Rule
  • Bayes decision rule
  • p(y1x) gt p(y-1x) ? y 1 y -1
  • ?? p(y1x) gt ½ ? y 1 y -1

46
Bayesian Approach
  • p(yx,X,Y) ?f p(y,fx,X,Y) df
  • ?f p(yf,x,X,Y) p(fx,X,Y) df
  • ?f p(yf,x) p(fX,Y) df
  • This integral is often intractable.
  • To solve it we can
  • Choose the distributions so that the solution is
    analytic (conjugate priors)
  • Approximate the true distribution of p(fX,Y) by
    a simpler distribution (variational methods)
  • Sample from p(fX,Y) (MCMC)

47
Maximum A Posteriori (MAP)
  • p(yx,X,Y) ?f p(yf,x) p(fX,Y) df
  • p(yfMAP,x) when p(fX,Y) ?(f fMAP)
  • The more training data there is the better
    p(fX,Y) approximates a delta function
  • We can make predictions using a single function,
    fMAP, and our focus shifts to estimating fMAP.

48
MAP Maximum Likelihood (ML)
  • fMAP argmaxf p(fX,Y)
  • argmaxf p(X,Yf) p(f) / p(X,Y)
  • argmaxf p(X,Yf) p(f)
  • fML ? argmaxf p(X,Yf) (Maximum Likelihood)
  • Maximum Likelihood holds if
  • There is a lot of training data so that
  • p(X,Yf) gtgt p(f)
  • Or if there is no prior knowledge so that p(f)
    is uniform (improper)

49
IID Data
  • fML argmaxf p(X,Yf)
  • argmaxf ?I p(xi,yif)
  • The independent and identically distributed
    assumption holds only if we know everything about
    the joint distribution of the features and
    labels.
  • In particular, p(X,Y) ? ?I p(xi,yi)

50

  • p(yi xi, w) p(xi w?)
  • ?MAP argmaxw p(w) ?I p(yi xi, w)
  • argmaxw? p(w?) ?I p(xiw?)
  • It turns out that only w plays a role in
    determining the posterior distribution
  • p(yx,X,Y) p(yx, ?MAP) p(yx, wMAP)
  • where wMAP argmaxw p(w) ?I p(yi xi, w)

    Slackness conditions it is easy to show that
  • ?i 0 ? xi has been classified correctly and
    lies beyond its supporting hyperplane
  • 0 lt ?i lt C ? xi is a support vector and lies on
    its supporting hyperplane
  • ?i C ? xi has been misclassified or is a
    margin violator

93
Hinge Loss and Sparseness in ?
  • SVM ?s are sparse but LR ?s are not

94
Linearly Inseparable Data
  • This 1D dataset can not be separated using a
    single hyperplane (threshold)
  • We need a non-linear decision boundary

  • Polynomial K(xi,xj) (xit?-1xj c)d
  • Gaussian (RBF) K(xi,xj) exp( ?k ?k(xik
    xjk)2)
  • Chi-Squared K(xi,xj) exp( ?2(xi, xj) )
  • Sigmoid K(xi,xj) tanh(xitxj c)
  • ? should be positive definite, c ? 0, ? ? 0 and d
    should be a natural number

99
Valid Kernels Mercers Theorem
  • Let Z be a compact subset of ?D and K a
    continuous symmetric function. Then K is a kernel
    if
  • ?Z ? Z f(x) K(x,z) f(z) dx dz ? 0
  • for all square integrable real valued function f
    on Z.

100
Valid Kernels Mercers Theorem
  • Let Z be a compact subset of ?D and K a
    continuous symmetric function. Then K is a kernel
    if
  • ?Z ? Z f(x) K(x,z) f(z) dx dz ? 0
  • for all square integrable real valued function f
    on Z.
  • K is a kernel if every finite symmetric matrix
    formed by evaluating K on pairs of points from Z
    is positive semi-definite

101
Operations on Kernels
  • The following operations result in valid kernels
  • K(xi,xj) ?k ?k Kk(xi,xj) (?k ? 0)
  • K(xi,xj) ?k Kk(xi,xj)
  • K(xi,xj) f(xi) f(xj) (f ?D ? ?)
  • K(xi,xj) p(K1(xi,xj)) (p ve coeff poly)
  • K(xi,xj) exp(K1(xi,xj))
  • Kernels can be defined over graphs, sets,
    strings and many other interesting data structures

102
Kernels
  • Kernels should encode all our prior knowledge
    about feature similarities.
  • Kernel parameters can be chosen through cross
    validation or learnt (see Multiple Kernel
    Learning).
  • Non-linear kernels can sometimes boost
    classification performance tremendously.

    number of constraints is NL2
  • Finding the exact solution for real world
    non-linear problems is often infeasible
  • In practice, we can obtain an approximate
    solution or switch to the 1-vs-All or 1-vs-1
    formulations
