Convolutional Neural Networks(Part-2)

 

Cross- Correlation

Cross-correlation is a measure of similarity of two series as a function of the displacement of one relative to the other. This is also known as a sliding dot product or sliding inner-product. It is commonly used for searching a long signal for a shorter, known feature. It has applications in pattern recognition, single particle analysis, electron tomography, averaging, cryptanalysis, and neurophysiology. 

Steps followed in Cross- Correlation

  • Take two matrices with same dimensions.
  • Multiply them one by one, element by element (i.e , not the dot product, just the simple multiplication).
  • Sum the elements together.

VGG16

VGG16 is a convolutional neural network model proposed by K. Simonyan and A. Zisserman from the University of Oxford in the paper “Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition”. The model achieves 92.7% top-5 test accuracy in ImageNet, which is a dataset of over 14 million images belonging to 1000 classes.



Architecture of VGG16

The input to the network is image of dimensions (224, 224, 3). The first two layers have 64 channels of 3*3 filter size and same padding. Then after a max pool layer of stride (2, 2), two layers which have convolution layers of 256 filter size and filter size (3, 3). This followed by a max pooling layer of stride (2, 2) which is same as previous layer. Then there are 2 convolution layers of filter size (3, 3) and 256 filter. After that there are 2 sets of 3 convolution layer and a max pool layer. Each have 512 filters of (3, 3) size with same padding.This image is then passed to the stack of two convolution layers. In these convolution and max pooling layers, the filters we use is of the size 3*3 instead of 11*11 in AlexNet and 7*7 in ZF-Net. In some of the layers, it also uses 1*1 pixel which is used to manipulate the number of input channels. There is a padding of 1-pixel (same padding) done after each convolution layer to prevent the spatial feature of the image.

Configuration

The nets are referred to their names (A-E). All configurations follow the generic design present in architecture and differ only in the depth: from 11 weight layers in the network A (8 conv. and 3 FC layers) to 19 weight layers in the network E (16 conv. and 3 FC layers). The width of conv. layers (the number of channels) is rather small, starting from 64 in the first layer and then increasing by a factor of 2 after each max-pooling layer, until it reaches 512.

  Decision Trees (Continued) Attribute Selection Measures If the dataset consists of N attributes then deciding which attribute to place at the root or at different levels of the tree as internal nodes is a complicated step. By just randomly selecting any node to be the root can’t solve the issue. If we follow a random approach, it may give us bad results with low accuracy. For solving this attribute selection problem, researchers worked and devised some solutions. They suggested using some criteria like : Entropy, Information gain, Gini index, Gain Ratio, Reduction in Variance Chi-Square These criteria will calculate values for every attribute. The values are sorted, and attributes are placed in the tree by following the order i.e, the attribute with a high value(in case of information gain) is placed at the root. While using Information Gain as a criterion, we assume attributes to be categorical, and for the Gini index, attributes are assumed to be continuous. Entropy Entropy is a me

  Support Vector Machine A Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a discriminative classifier formally defined by a separating hyperplane. In other words, given labeled training data, the algorithm outputs an optimal hyperplane which categorizes new examples.  In two dimensional space this hyperplane is a line dividing a plane in two parts where in each class lay in either side. Suppose given plot of two label classes on graph as shown in image. You might have come up with something similar to following image (image B). It fairly separates the two classes. Any point that is left of line falls into black circle class and on right falls into blue square   In real world application, finding perfect class for millions of training data set takes lot of time. This is called regularization parameter.  Two terms regularization parameter and gamma are tuning parameters in SVM classifier. Varying those we can achieve considerable non linear classification line with more accuracy in reasonable amount of
