前言
看完神经网络及BP算法介绍后，这里做一个小实验，内容是来自斯坦福ULIDL教程，实现图像的压缩表示，模型是用神经网络模型，训练方法是BP后向传播算法。
理论
在有监督学习中，训练样本是具有标签的，一般神经网络是有监督的学习方法。我们这里要讲的是自编码神经网络，这是一种无监督的学习方法，它是让输出值等于自身来实现的。
从图中可以看到，神经网络模型只有一层隐含层，输出层跟输入层的神经单元个数是一样的。如果隐含层单元个数比输入层少的话，我们用这个模型学到的是输入数据的压缩表示，相当于对输入数据进行降维（这是一种非线性的降维方法）。实际上，如果隐含层单元个数比输入层多，我们可以让隐含层的大部分单元激活值接近0，就是让它们稀疏，这样学到的也是压缩表示。我们模型要使得输出层跟输入层一样，就是隐含层要能够重建出跟输入层一样的输出层，这样我们学到的压缩表示才是有意义的。
回忆下之前介绍过的损失函数：
在这里，y是输出层，跟输入层是一样的。
自编码神经网络还增加了稀疏性惩罚一项。它是对隐含层进行了稀疏性的约束，即使得隐含层大部分值都处于非active状态。定义隐含层节点j的稀疏程度为
上式是对整个样本求隐含层节点j的平均值，如果是所有隐含层节点，那么就组成一个向量。
我们要设置期望隐含层稀疏性的程度，假设为
，因此我们希望对于所有的节点j
。
那怎么衡量实际跟期望的差别呢？
此时损失函数为
由于加了稀疏项损失函数，对第二层节点求残差时公式变为
实验
实验教程是在Exercise:Sparse Autoencoder，要实现的文件是sampleIMAGES.m, sparseAutoencoderCost.m,computeNumericalGradient.m
实验步骤：
- 生成训练集
- 稀疏自编码目标函数
- 梯度校验
- 训练稀疏自编码
- 可视化
最后一步可视化是
，把x用图像表示出来的。
代码如下：
sampleIMAGES.m
function patches = sampleIMAGES() % sampleIMAGES % Returns 10000 patches for training load IMAGES; % load images from disk patchsize = 8; % we'll use 8x8 patches numpatches = 10000; % Initialize patches with zeros. Your code will fill in this matrix--one % column per patch, 10000 columns. patches = zeros(patchsize*patchsize, numpatches); %% ---------- YOUR CODE HERE -------------------------------------- % Instructions: Fill in the variable called "patches" using data % from IMAGES. % % IMAGES is a 3D array containing 10 images % For instance, IMAGES(:,:,6) is a 512x512 array containing the 6th image, % and you can type "imagesc(IMAGES(:,:,6)), colormap gray;" to visualize % it. (The contrast on these images look a bit off because they have % been preprocessed using using "whitening." See the lecture notes for % more details.) As a second example, IMAGES(21:30,21:30,1) is an image % patch corresponding to the pixels in the block (21,21) to (30,30) of % Image 1 [m,n,num] = size(IMAGES); for i=1:numpatches j = randi(num); bx = randi(m-patchsize+1); by = randi(n-patchsize+1); block = IMAGES(bx:bx+patchsize-1,by:by+patchsize-1,j); patches(:,i) = block(:); end %% --------------------------------------------------------------- % For the autoencoder to work well we need to normalize the data % Specifically, since the output of the network is bounded between [0,1] % (due to the sigmoid activation function), we have to make sure % the range of pixel values is also bounded between [0,1] patches = normalizeData(patches); end %% --------------------------------------------------------------- function patches = normalizeData(patches) % Squash data to [0.1, 0.9] since we use sigmoid as the activation % function in the output layer % Remove DC (mean of images). patches = bsxfun(@minus, patches, mean(patches)); % Truncate to +/-3 standard deviations and scale to -1 to 1 pstd = 3 * std(patches(:)); patches = max(min(patches, pstd), -pstd) / pstd; % Rescale from [-1,1] to [0.1,0.9] patches = (patches + 1) * 0.4 + 0.1; end
SparseAutoencoderCost.m
function [cost,grad] = sparseAutoencoderCost(theta, visibleSize, hiddenSize, ...
lambda, sparsityParam, beta, data)
% visibleSize: the number of input units (probably 64)
% hiddenSize: the number of hidden units (probably 25)
% lambda: weight decay parameter
% sparsityParam: The desired average activation for the hidden units (denoted in the lecture
% notes by the greek alphabet rho, which looks like a lower-case "p").
% beta: weight of sparsity penalty term
% data: Our 64x10000 matrix containing the training data. So, data(:,i) is the i-th training example.
% The input theta is a vector (because minFunc expects the parameters to be a vector).
% We first convert theta to the (W1, W2, b1, b2) matrix/vector format, so that this
% follows the notation convention of the lecture notes.
W1 = reshape(theta(1:hiddenSize*visibleSize), hiddenSize, visibleSize);
W2 = reshape(theta(hiddenSize*visibleSize+1:2*hiddenSize*visibleSize), visibleSize, hiddenSize);
b1 = theta(2*hiddenSize*visibleSize+1:2*hiddenSize*visibleSize+hiddenSize);
b2 = theta(2*hiddenSize*visibleSize+hiddenSize+1:end);
% Cost and gradient variables (your code needs to compute these values).
% Here, we initialize them to zeros.
cost = 0;
W1grad = zeros(size(W1));
W2grad = zeros(size(W2));
b1grad = zeros(size(b1));
b2grad = zeros(size(b2));
%% ---------- YOUR CODE HERE --------------------------------------
% Instructions: Compute the cost/optimization objective J_sparse(W,b) for the Sparse Autoencoder,
% and the corresponding gradients W1grad, W2grad, b1grad, b2grad.
%
% W1grad, W2grad, b1grad and b2grad should be computed using backpropagation.
% Note that W1grad has the same dimensions as W1, b1grad has the same dimensions
% as b1, etc. Your code should set W1grad to be the partial derivative of J_sparse(W,b) with
% respect to W1. I.e., W1grad(i,j) should be the partial derivative of J_sparse(W,b)
% with respect to the input parameter W1(i,j). Thus, W1grad should be equal to the term
% [(1/m) Delta W^{(1)} + lambda W^{(1)}] in the last block of pseudo-code in Section 2.2
% of the lecture notes (and similarly for W2grad, b1grad, b2grad).
%
% Stated differently, if we were using batch gradient descent to optimize the parameters,
% the gradient descent update to W1 would be W1 := W1 - alpha * W1grad, and similarly for W2, b1, b2.
