[Improving: Hyper-parameter tuning, Regularization and Optimization] Programming - Regularization

This note is based on Coursera course by Andrew ng.

(It is just study note for me. It could be copied or awkward sometimes for sentence anything, because i am not native. But, i want to learn Deep Learning on English. So, everything will be bettter and better :))

 

 

 

INTRO

We will find where the goal keeper should kick the ball so that the French team's players can then hit it with their head. Each dot corrensponds to a position on the footbal field where a footbal player has hit the ball. The blue dot means the French player managed to hit the ball. The red dot means the other team's player hit the ball.

Without regularization

On the training set: Accuracy:   0.947867298578

On the test set: Accuracy:        0.915

 

This is decision boundry of the model without regularization.

The non-regularized model is obviously overfitting the training set. It is fitting noisy points.

 

 

L2 Regularization

The standard way to avoid overfitting is L2 regularization. 

 

 

Implement compute_cost_with_regularization() which computes the cost given by formula above.

To calculate this, use np.sum(np.square(Wl))

 

def compute_cost_with_regularization(A3, Y, parameters, lambd):
    """

    cost - value of the regularized loss function (formula (2))
    """
    m = Y.shape[1]
    W1 = parameters["W1"]
    W2 = parameters["W2"]
    W3 = parameters["W3"]
    
    cross_entropy_cost = compute_cost(A3, Y) # This gives you the cross-entropy part of the cost
    
    ### START CODE HERE ### (approx. 1 line)
    L2_regularization_cost = 1/m * lambd/2 * (np.sum(np.square(W1)) + np.sum(np.square(W2)) + np.sum(np.square(W3)))
 
    ### END CODER HERE ###
    
    cost = cross_entropy_cost + L2_regularization_cost
    
    return cost
 

 

Because we chagned the cost, we have to change backward propagation as well.

Running the model with L2 regularization( lambda = 0.7 ) L2 regularization makes decision boundry smoother. If lambda is too large, it is also prossible to oversmooth, resulting in a model with high bias.

What is L2-regularization actually doing?

• L2 regularization relies on the assumption that a model with small weights is simpler than a model with large weights. Thus, by penalizing the square values of the weights in the cost function we drive all the weights to smaller values. It becomes too costly for cost to have large weights. This leads to a smoother model in which the output changes more slowly as the input changes.

Running the model with dropout( keep_prob = 0.86 ). 

Remind about dropout

• Don't use dropout during test time.
• Dropout is a regularization technique.
• Apply dropout both during forward and backward propagation.
• Divide each dropout layer by keep_prob to the same expected value for the activations. 

CONCLUSION

Regularization hurts training set performance. This is because it limits the ability of the network to overfit to the training set. But since it ultimately gives better test accuracy, it is helping our system.
