Open the file cs231n/classifiers/neural_net.py and look at the function two_layer_net. This function is very similar to the loss functions you have written for the SVM and Softmax exercises: It takes the data and weights and computes the class scores, the loss, and the gradients on the parameters.
Implement the first part of the forward pass which uses the weights and biases to compute the scores for all inputs.
In [3]:
from cs231n.classifiers.neural_net import two_layer_net
scores = two_layer_net(X, model)
print (scores)

loss, grads = two_layer_net(X, model, y, reg)
# these should all be less than 1e-8 or so
for param_name in grads:
param_grad_num = eval_numerical_gradient(lambda W: two_layer_net(X, model, y, reg)[0], model[param_name], verbose=False)

To train the network we will use SGD with Momentum. Last assignment you implemented vanilla SGD. You will now implement the momentum update and the RMSProp update. Open the file classifier_trainer.py and familiarze yourself with the ClassifierTrainer class. It performs optimization given an arbitrary cost function data, and model. By default it uses vanilla SGD, which we have already implemented for you. First, run the optimization below using Vanilla SGD:
In [6]:
from cs231n.classifier_trainer import ClassifierTrainer
model = init_toy_model()
trainer = ClassifierTrainer()
# call the trainer to optimize the loss
# Notice that we're using sample_batches=False, so we're performing Gradient Descent (no sampled batches of data)
best_model, loss_history, _, _ = trainer.train(X, y, X, y,
model, two_layer_net,
reg=0.001,
learning_rate=1e-1, momentum=0.0, learning_rate_decay=1,
update='sgd', sample_batches=False,
num_epochs=100,
verbose=False)
print 'Final loss with vanilla SGD: %f' % (loss_history[-1], )
Now fill in the momentum update in the first missing code block inside the train function, and run the same optimization as above but with the momentum update. You should see a much better result in the final obtained loss:
In [7]:
model = init_toy_model()
trainer = ClassifierTrainer()
# call the trainer to optimize the loss
# Notice that we're using sample_batches=False, so we're performing Gradient Descent (no sampled batches of data)
best_model, loss_history, _, _ = trainer.train(X, y, X, y,
model, two_layer_net,
reg=0.001,
learning_rate=1e-1, momentum=0.9, learning_rate_decay=1,
update='momentum', sample_batches=False,
num_epochs=100,
verbose=False)
correct_loss = 0.494394
print 'Final loss with momentum SGD: %f. We get: %f' % (loss_history[-1], correct_loss)
Now also implement the RMSProp update rule inside the train function and rerun the optimization:
In [8]:
model = init_toy_model()
trainer = ClassifierTrainer()
# call the trainer to optimize the loss
# Notice that we're using sample_batches=False, so we're performing Gradient Descent (no sampled batches of data)
best_model, loss_history, _, _ = trainer.train(X, y, X, y,
model, two_layer_net,
reg=0.001,
learning_rate=1e-1, momentum=0.9, learning_rate_decay=1,
update='rmsprop', sample_batches=False,
num_epochs=100,
verbose=False)
correct_loss = 0.439368
print 'Final loss with RMSProp: %f. We get: %f' % (loss_history[-1], correct_loss)

With the default parameters we provided above, you should get a validation accuracy of about 0.37 on the validation set. This isn't very good.
One strategy for getting insight into what's wrong is to plot the loss function and the accuracies on the training and validation sets during optimization.
Another strategy is to visualize the weights that were learned in the first layer of the network. In most neural networks trained on visual data, the first layer weights typically show some visible structure when visualized.

plt.plot(loss_history)

plt.xlabel('Iteration')
plt.ylabel('Loss')

What's wrong?. Looking at the visualizations above, we see that the loss is decreasing more or less linearly, which seems to suggest that the learning rate may be too low. Moreover, there is no gap between the training and validation accuracy, suggesting that the model we used has low capacity, and that we should increase its size. On the other hand, with a very large model we would expect to see more overfitting, which would manifest itself as a very large gap between the training and validation accuracy.
Tuning. Tuning the hyperparameters and developing intuition for how they affect the final performance is a large part of using Neural Networks, so we want you to get a lot of practice. Below, you should experiment with different values of the various hyperparameters, including hidden layer size, learning rate, numer of training epochs, and regularization strength. You might also consider tuning the momentum and learning rate decay parameters, but you should be able to get good performance using the default values.
Approximate results. You should be aim to achieve a classification accuracy of greater than 50% on the validation set. Our best network gets over 56% on the validation set.
Experiment: You goal in this exercise is to get as good of a result on CIFAR-10 as you can, with a fully-connected Neural Network. For every 1% above 56% on the Test set we will award you with one extra bonus point. Feel free implement your own techniques (e.g. PCA to reduce dimensionality, or adding dropout, or adding features to the solver, etc.).
