Fig. 1.1: Machine Learning versus Deep Learning: Binary classification of appropriately pre- =~ NNs are composed of multiple interconnected processing nodes or units, called neurons, that work ygether to learn from data and do ML tasks. For supervised learning, this is achieved by training the etwork using a set of labelled data and adjusting the connections between neurons to minimize the ‘ror between the predicted output and the target output. The neurons are arranged in multiple \terconnected layers, which hierarchically represent the patterns in the data. These layers can be seen ; a sequence of non-linear transformations that map the input data to a higher-level representation, hich captures or extracts increasingly complex features and patterns from raw data without requiring xplicit feature engineering. Other ML algorithms, such as decision trees or support vector machines, ften require hand-crafted features that are specifically designed for the task at hand. In contrast, neural etworks can learn these features directly from the data, allowing them to generalize better and perform ell on a wide range of tasks. Neural networks can also handle large amounts of data and are capable f learning from unstructured and high-dimensional data such as images, audio, and text. This makes em well-suited for tasks such as image classification, speech recognition, and natural language rocessing. Thus, ANNs give rise to the field of deep learning. The distinguishing peculiarity of neural etworks from conventional machine learning algorithms is their ability to learn directly from the raw ata. Machine learning techniques consist of a series of steps: pre-processing, feature extraction, feature slection, and prediction (classification or whatever task is at hand). The model’s accuracy depends on \e quality of these handcrafted features, and expert knowledge plays a crucial role in generalization. m the other hand, deep learning using neural networks can automatically learn/extract complex and ierarchical features through multiple layers of computation. This eliminates the need for manual ature engineering, as the model learns representations directly from the raw data. This concept is epicted in Fig. 1.1.

Several definitions of the activation functions are available in the literature, each with its unique properties and advantages. Examples include the Threshold, Sigmoid, Tanh, ReLU, Leaky ReLU. Softmax functions, etc. Some of the well-known activation functions are listed in Table 2.1. The choice of activation function can have a significant impact on the performance of the model. The choice depends on the problem and data at hand and the characteristics of the data. Therefore, experimenting with different activation functions is often a good practice to see which works best. Research contributions proposed several other activation functions and demonstrated improved performance on some benchmarks. Agostinelli et al. (2015) proposed adaptive piecewise linear activation functions. Hendrycks and Gimpel (2020) proposed a high performance activation function, the Gaussian Error Linear Unit (GELU) as a variant to ReLU and ELU.

The validation error is used to ensure the validity of the model. It checks whether our model is too simple to learn underlying patterns or too complex to learn everything in the training set. The learning algorithm that performs poorly on the training set by producing large training error (with reference to a baseline/human-level performance) is said to underfit. This indicates high bias, which comes from developing a simpler model using fewer parameters and lesser degrees of freedom. The learning algorithm that performs well on the training data (with reference to a baseline/human-level performance), but not well on the validation set is said to overfit the training data. This indicates high variance, which comes from developing a complex model using too many parameters and higher degrees of freedom. Thus, the bias-variance tradeoff is to be taken care of for a balanced learning. That

Fig. 8.3: Identifying high bias and high variance using the training and validation errors. said, it is vital to strike a balance between model complexity and performance on the unseen data. Fig. 8.3 shows the performance of three different training example and explains how to detect overfitting and underfitting. The holdout validation technique usually works reasonably well. However, there are some flaws with it. The results obtained from holdout validation can be highly dependent on the specific way in which the data is split into training and validation sets. This can lead to variability in the performance of the model and make it difficult to compare different hyperparameters. Evaluating the model performance with a small validation set may to lead to select suboptimal choices of hyperparameters. A large validation set makes the reduced training set smaller. In that case, a smaller training set will be used fot training the model. The hyperparameters tuned on a smaller set will then be used for model training on the original dataset. This issue is addressed by the k-fold cross validation technique.

Fig. 8.1: Using Learning curves to detect a point for the Early Stopping. The Early Stopping is kind of regularization that is used for iterative learning algorithms. In this technique, the performance of the model is monitored during the validation process using the development set. While training a model, the graphs of the training error and the validation error can be plotted after each epoch. These graphs are called as the learning curves. The trends of these graphs can help detect overfitting and underfitting. The epochs of the training are stopped when the validation error stops decreasing over a number of epochs. The model parameters, only those for which the validation error gets reduced, are saved. When the iterative process is terminated the lasted saved effective model parameters are used. Unlike the Batch Gradient Descent method, noticing the attainment of minimum level of validation error is not easy in case of the Stochastic and Mini-batch Gradient Descent method, because the error curves are not smooth. For such cases, once the error somewhat rises again over the minimum level for several epochs, the iterative process is stopped. Fig. 8.1 depicts this technique.
