Neural networks seem so complicated, but they're not.

StatQuest!

Hello, I'm Josh Starmer and welcome to StatQuest.

Today we're going to talk about Neural Networks Part 1, Inside the Black Box.

Neural networks, one of the most popular algorithms in machine learning, learning, cover a broad range of concepts and techniques.

However, people call them a black box because it can be hard to understand what they're doing.

The goal of this series is to take a peek into the black box by breaking down each concept

and technique into its components and walking through how they fit together, step by step.

In this first part, we will learn about what neural networks do and how they do it.

In part two, we'll talk about how neural networks are fit to data with backpropagation.

Then, we will talk about variations on the simple neural network presented in this part, including deep learning.

Crazy awesome news!

I have a new way to think about neural networks

that will help beginners and seasoned experts alike gain a deep insight into what neural networks do.

For example, most tutorials use cool-looking but hard-to-understand graphs and fancy mathematical notation to represent neural networks. In contrast,

I'm going to label every little thing on the neural network to make it easy to keep track of the details.

And the math will be as simple as possible while still being true to the algorithm.

These differences will help you develop a deep understanding of what neural networks actually do.

So, with that said, let's imagine we tested a drug that was designed to treat an illness,

and we gave the drug to three different groups of people with three different dosages.

Low, Medium, and High.

The low dosages were not effective, so we set them to zero on this graph.

In contrast, the medium dosages were effective, so we set them to 1.

And the high dosages were not effective, so those are set to 0.

Now that we have this data, we would like to use it to predict whether or not a future dosage will be effective.

However, we can't just fit a straight line to the data to make predictions, because no matter how we rotate the straight line,

it can only accurately predict two of the three dosages.

The good news is that a neural network can fit a squiggle to the data.

The green squiggle is close to zero for low dosages, close to one for medium dosages,

and close to zero for high dosages.

And even if we have a really complicated data set like this, a neural network can fit a squiggle to it.

In this StatQuest, we're going to use this super simple data set and show how this neural network creates this green squiggle.

But first, let's just talk about what a neural network is.

A neural network consists of nodes and connections between the nodes.

Note, the numbers along each connection represent parameter values that were estimated when this neural network was fit to the data.

For now, just know that these parameter estimates are analogous to the slope

and intercept values that we solve for when we fit a straight line to data.

Likewise, a neural network starts out with unknown parameter values

that are estimated when we fit the neural network to a dataset using a method called backpropagation.

And we will talk about how backpropagation estimates these parameters in part 2 in this series.

But for now, just assume that we've already fit this neural network to this specific dataset.

And that means we have already estimated these parameters.

Also, you may have noticed that some of the nodes have curved lines inside of them.

These bent or curved lines are the building blocks for fitting a squiggle to data.

The goal of this StatQuest is to show you how these identical curves can be reshaped by the parameter values

and then added together to get a green squiggle that fits the data.

Note, there are many common bent or curved lines that we can choose for a neural network.

This specific curved line is called Soft Plus, which sounds like a brand of toilet paper.

Alternatively, we could use this bent line called RelU, which is short for Rectified Linear Unit and sounds like a robot.

Or we could use a sigmoid shape or any other bent or curved line.

Oh no, it's the dreaded terminology alert!

The curved or bent lines are called activation functions.

When you build a neural network, you have to decide which activation function or functions you want to use.

When most people teach neural networks, they use the sigmoid activation function.

However, in practice, it is much more common to use the ReLU activation function, or the soft plus activation function.

So we'll use the soft plus activation function in this stat quest.

Anyway, we'll talk more about how you choose activation functions later in this series.

Note, this specific neural network is about as simple as they get.

It only has one input node where we plug in the dosage, only one output node to tell us the predicted effectiveness,

and only two nodes between the input and output nodes.

However, in practice, neural networks are usually much fancier and have more than one input node,

more than one output node, different layers of nodes between the input and output nodes,

and a spider web of connections between each layer of nodes.

Oh no!

It's another terminology alert!

These layers of nodes between the input and output nodes are called hidden layers.

When you build a neural network, one of the first things you do is decide how many hidden layers you want

and how many nodes go into each hidden layer.

Although there are rules of thumb for making decisions about the hidden layers, you essentially make a guess and see how well the neural network performs,

adding more layers and nodes if needed.

Now, even though this neural network looks fancy, it is still made from the same parts used in this simple neural network,

which has only one hidden layer with two nodes.

So let's learn how this neural network creates new shapes from the curved or bent lines in the hidden layer,

and then adds them together to get a green squiggle that fits the data.

To keep the math simple, let's assume dosages go from 0, for low, to 1, for high.

The first thing we are going to do is plug the lowest dosage, 0, into the neural network.

Now, to get from the input node to the top node in the hidden layer,

this connection multiplies the dosage by negative 34.4 and then adds 2.14.

And the result is an X-axis coordinate for the activation function.

For example, the lowest dosage, 0, is multiplied by negative 34.4,

and then we add 2.14 to get 2.14 as the x-axis coordinate for the activation function.

To get the corresponding y-axis value, we plug 2.14 into the activation function,

which, in this case, is the soft plus function.

Note, if we had chosen the sigmoid curve for the activation function, then we would plug 2.14 into the equation for the sigmoid curve.

And if we had chosen the relu bent line for the activation function, then we would plug 2.14 into the relu equation.

But since we are using soft plus for the activation function, we plug 2.14 into the soft plus equation.

And the log of 1 plus e raised to the 2.14 power is 2.25.

Note, in statistics, machine learning, and most programming languages, the log function implies the natural log, or the log base e.

Anyway, the y-axis coordinate for the activation function is 2.25.

So let's extend this y-axis up a little bit, and put a blue dot at 2.25 for when dosage equals 0.

Now, if we increase the dosage a little bit and plug 0.1 into the input,

the x-axis coordinate for the activation function is negative 1.3,

and the corresponding y-axis value is 0.24.

So let's put a blue dot at 0.24 for when dosage equals 0.1.

And if we continue to increase the dosage values all the way to 1, the maximum dosage, we get this blue curve.

Note, before we move on, I want to point out

that the full range of dosage values from 0 to 1

corresponds to this relatively narrow range of values from the activation function function.

In other words, when we plug dosage values from 0 to 1 into the neural network,

100

and then multiply them by negative 34.4 and add 2.14,

101

we only get x-axis coordinates that are within the red box.

102

And thus, only the corresponding y-axis values in the red box are used to make this new blue curve.

103

Bam!

104

Now we scale the y-axis values for the blue curve by negative 1.3.

105

For example, when dosage equals zero, the current y-axis coordinate for the blue curve is 2.25.

106

So we multiply 2.25 by negative 1.3 and get negative 2.93.

107

and negative 2.93 corresponds to this position on the y-axis.

108

Likewise, we multiply all of the other y-axis coordinates on the blue curve by negative 1.3,

109

and we end up with a new blue curve.

110

BAM!

111

Now let's focus on the connection from the input node to the bottom node in the hidden layer.

112

However, this time we multiply the dosage by negative 2.52 instead of negative 34.4,

113

and we add 1.29 instead of 2.14 to get the x-axis coordinate for the activation function.

114

Remember, these values come from fitting the neural network to the data with backpropagation, and we'll talk about that in Part 2 in this series.

115

Now, if we plug the lowest dosage, 0, into the neural network,

116

then the x-axis coordinate for the activation function is 1.29.

117

Now we plug 1.29 into the activation function to get the corresponding y-axis value, and get 1.53.

118

And that corresponds to this yellow dot.

119

Now we just plug in dosage values from 0 to 1 to get the corresponding y-axis values.

120

And we get this orange curve.

121

Note, just like before, I want to point out that the full range of dosage values from 0 to 1

122

corresponds to this narrow range of values from the activation function.

123

In other words, when we plug dosage values from 0 to 1 into the neural network,

124

we only get X-axis coordinates that are within the red box.

125

And thus, only the corresponding y-axis values in the red box are used to make this new orange curve.

126

So we see that fitting a neural network to data gives us different parameter estimates on the connections,

127

And that results in each node in the hidden layer using different portions of the activation functions

128

to create these new and exciting shapes.

129

Now, just like before, we scale the Y-axis coordinates on the orange curve.

130

Only this time, we scale by a positive number, 2.28.

131

Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.

132

And that gives us this new orange curve.

133

Now the neural network tells us to add the y-axis coordinates from the blue curve to the orange curve.

134

And that gives us this green squiggle.

135

Then, finally, we subtract 0.58 from the y-axis values on the green squiggle.

136

And we have a green squiggle that fits the data.

137

Bam!

138

Now, if someone comes along and says that they are using dosage equal to 0.5,

139

we can look at the corresponding y-axis coordinate on the green squiggle and see that the dosage will be effective.

140

Or, we can solve for the y-axis coordinate by plugging dosage equals 0.5 into the neural network, and do the math.

141

Biddup boop boop boop boop boop boop

142

And we see that the y-axis coordinate on the green squiggle is 1.03.

143

And since 1.03 is closer to 1 than 0, we will conclude that a dosage equal to 0.5 is effective.

144

Double bam!

145

Now, if you've made it this far, you may be wondering why this is called a neural network, instead of a big fancy squiggle-fitting machine.

146

The reason is that way back in the 1940s and 50s, when neural networks were invented, they thought the nodes were vaguely like neurons,

147

and the connections between the nodes were sort of like synapses.

148

However, I think they should be called big, fancy squiggle-fitting machines, because that's what they do.

149

Whether or not you call it a squiggle-fitting machine, the parameters that we multiply are called weights.

150

and the parameters that we add are called biases.

151

Note, this neural network starts with two identical activation functions, but the weights and biases on the connections slice them,

152

flip them, and stretch them into new shapes, which are then added together to get a squiggle that is entirely new,

153

and then the squiggle is shifted to fit the data.

154

Now, if we can create this green squiggle with just two nodes in a single hidden layer,

155

just imagine what types of green squiggles we could fit with more hidden layers and more nodes in each hidden layer.

156

In theory, neural networks can fit a green squiggle to just about any data set, no matter how complicated.

157

And I think that's pretty cool.

158

Triple bam!

159

Now it's time for some shameless self-promotion.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
