Updates to Assignment

If you were working on the older version:

• Please click on the "Coursera" icon in the top right to open up the folder directory.
• Navigate to the folder: Week 3/ Planar data classification with one hidden layer. You can see your prior work in version 6b: "Planar data classification with one hidden layer v6b.ipynb"

List of bug fixes and enhancements

• Clarifies that the classifier will learn to classify regions as either red or blue.
• compute_cost function fixes np.squeeze by casting it as a float.
• compute_cost instructions clarify the purpose of np.squeeze.
• compute_cost clarifies that "parameters" parameter is not needed, but is kept in the function definition until the auto-grader is also updated.
• nn_model removes extraction of parameter values, as the entire parameter dictionary is passed to the invoked functions.

Planar data classification with one hidden layer

Welcome to your week 3 programming assignment. It's time to build your first neural network, which will have a hidden layer. You will see a big difference between this model and the one you implemented using logistic regression.

You will learn how to:

• Implement a 2-class classification neural network with a single hidden layer
• Use units with a non-linear activation function, such as tanh
• Compute the cross entropy loss
• Implement forward and backward propagation

1 - Packages

Let's first import all the packages that you will need during this assignment.

• numpy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.
• sklearn provides simple and efficient tools for data mining and data analysis.
• matplotlib is a library for plotting graphs in Python.
• testCases provides some test examples to assess the correctness of your functions
• planar_utils provide various useful functions used in this assignment

# Package imports
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from testCases_v2 import *
import sklearn
import sklearn.datasets
import sklearn.linear_model
from planar_utils import plot_decision_boundary, sigmoid, load_planar_dataset, load_extra_datasets

%matplotlib inline

np.random.seed(1) # set a seed so that the results are consistent

2 - Dataset

First, let's get the dataset you will work on. The following code will load a "flower" 2-class dataset into variables X and Y.

X, Y = load_planar_dataset()

Visualize the dataset using matplotlib. The data looks like a "flower" with some red (label y=0) and some blue (y=1) points. Your goal is to build a model to fit this data. In other words, we want the classifier to define regions as either red or blue.

# Visualize the data:
plt.scatter(X[0, :], X[1, :], c=Y, s=40, cmap=plt.cm.Spectral);

You have:
- a numpy-array (matrix) X that contains your features (x1, x2)
- a numpy-array (vector) Y that contains your labels (red:0, blue:1).

Lets first get a better sense of what our data is like.

Exercise: How many training examples do you have? In addition, what is the shape of the variables X and Y?

Hint: How do you get the shape of a numpy array? (help)

### START CODE HERE ### (≈ 3 lines of code)
shape_X = X.shape
shape_Y = Y.shape
m = X.shape[1]  # training set size
### END CODE HERE ###

print ('The shape of X is: ' + str(shape_X))
print ('The shape of Y is: ' + str(shape_Y))
print ('I have m = %d training examples!' % (m))

The shape of X is: (2, 400)
The shape of Y is: (1, 400)
I have m = 400 training examples!

3 - Simple Logistic Regression

Before building a full neural network, lets first see how logistic regression performs on this problem. You can use sklearn's built-in functions to do that. Run the code below to train a logistic regression classifier on the dataset.

# Train the logistic regression classifier
clf = sklearn.linear_model.LogisticRegressionCV();
clf.fit(X.T, Y.T);

You can now plot the decision boundary of these models. Run the code below.

# Plot the decision boundary for logistic regression
plot_decision_boundary(lambda x: clf.predict(x), X, Y)
plt.title("Logistic Regression")

# Print accuracy
LR_predictions = clf.predict(X.T)
print ('Accuracy of logistic regression: %d ' % float((np.dot(Y,LR_predictions) + np.dot(1-Y,1-LR_predictions))/float(Y.size)*100) +
       '% ' + "(percentage of correctly labelled datapoints)")

Accuracy of logistic regression: 47 % (percentage of correctly labelled datapoints)

Interpretation: The dataset is not linearly separable, so logistic regression doesn't perform well. Hopefully a neural network will do better. Let's try this now!

4 - Neural Network model

Logistic regression did not work well on the "flower dataset". You are going to train a Neural Network with a single hidden layer.

Here is our model:

Mathematically:

For one example \(x^{(i)}\):

Given the predictions on all the examples, you can also compute the cost \(J\) as follows:

Reminder: The general methodology to build a Neural Network is to:
1. Define the neural network structure ( # of input units, # of hidden units, etc).
2. Initialize the model's parameters
3. Loop:
- Implement forward propagation
- Compute loss
- Implement backward propagation to get the gradients
- Update parameters (gradient descent)

You often build helper functions to compute steps 1-3 and then merge them into one function we call nn_model(). Once you've built nn_model() and learnt the right parameters, you can make predictions on new data.

4.1 - Defining the neural network structure

Exercise: Define three variables:
- n_x: the size of the input layer
- n_h: the size of the hidden layer (set this to 4)
- n_y: the size of the output layer

Hint: Use shapes of X and Y to find n_x and n_y. Also, hard code the hidden layer size to be 4.

# GRADED FUNCTION: layer_sizes

def layer_sizes(X, Y):
    """
    Arguments:
    X -- input dataset of shape (input size, number of examples)
    Y -- labels of shape (output size, number of examples)
    
    Returns:

    n_h -- the size of the hidden layer
    n_y -- the size of the output layer
    """
    ### START CODE HERE ### (≈ 3 lines of code)
    n_x = X.shape[0] # size of input layer
    n_h = 4
    n_y = Y.shape[0] # size of output layer
    ### END CODE HERE ###
    return (n_x, n_h, n_y)

X_assess, Y_assess = layer_sizes_test_case()
(n_x, n_h, n_y) = layer_sizes(X_assess, Y_assess)
print("The size of the input layer is: n_x = " + str(n_x))
print("The size of the hidden layer is: n_h = " + str(n_h))
print("The size of the output layer is: n_y = " + str(n_y))

The size of the input layer is: n_x = 5
The size of the hidden layer is: n_h = 4
The size of the output layer is: n_y = 2

4.2 - Initialize the model's parameters

Exercise: Implement the function initialize_parameters().

Instructions:

• Make sure your parameters' sizes are right. Refer to the neural network figure above if needed.
• You will initialize the weights matrices with random values.
  • Use: np.random.randn(a,b) * 0.01 to randomly initialize a matrix of shape (a,b).
• You will initialize the bias vectors as zeros.
  • Use: np.zeros((a,b)) to initialize a matrix of shape (a,b) with zeros.

4.3 - The Loop

Question: Implement forward_propagation().

Instructions:

• Look above at the mathematical representation of your classifier.
• You can use the function sigmoid(). It is built-in (imported) in the notebook.
• You can use the function np.tanh(). It is part of the numpy library.
• The steps you have to implement are:
  1. Retrieve each parameter from the dictionary "parameters" (which is the output of initialize_parameters()) by using parameters[".."].
  2. Implement Forward Propagation. Compute \(Z^{[1]}, A^{[1]}, Z^{[2]}\) and \(A^{[2]}\) (the vector of all your predictions on all the examples in the training set).
• Values needed in the backpropagation are stored in "cache". The cache will be given as an input to the backpropagation function.

# GRADED FUNCTION: forward_propagation

def forward_propagation(X, parameters):
    """

    return A2, cache

A2, cache = forward_propagation(X_assess, parameters)

# Note: we use the mean here just to make sure that your output matches ours. 
print(np.mean(cache['Z1']) ,np.mean(cache['A1']),np.mean(cache['Z2']),np.mean(cache['A2']))

0.262818640198 0.091999045227 -1.30766601287 0.212877681719

Now that you have computed \(A^{[2]}\) (in the Python variable "A2"), which contains \(a^{[2](i)}\) for every example, you can compute the cost function as follows:

Exercise: Implement compute_cost() to compute the value of the cost \(J\).

Instructions:

• There are many ways to implement the cross-entropy loss. To help you, we give you how we would have implemented
  \(- \sum\limits_{i=0}^{m} y^{(i)}\log(a^{[2](i)})\):

logprobs = np.multiply(np.log(A2),Y)
cost = - np.sum(logprobs)                # no need to use a for loop!

(you can use either np.multiply() and then np.sum() or directly np.dot()).
Note that if you use np.multiply followed by np.sum the end result will be a type float, whereas if you use np.dot, the result will be a 2D numpy array. We can use np.squeeze() to remove redundant dimensions (in the case of single float, this will be reduced to a zero-dimension array). We can cast the array as a type float using float().

# GRADED FUNCTION: compute_cost

A2, Y_assess, parameters = compute_cost_test_case()

print("cost = " + str(compute_cost(A2, Y_assess, parameters)))

Using the cache computed during forward propagation, you can now implement backward propagation.

Question: Implement the function backward_propagation().

Instructions:
Backpropagation is usually the hardest (most mathematical) part in deep learning. To help you, here again is the slide from the lecture on backpropagation. You'll want to use the six equations on the right of this slide, since you are building a vectorized implementation.

• Tips:
  • To compute dZ1 you'll need to compute \(g^{[1]'}(Z^{[1]})\). Since \(g^{[1]}(.)\) is the tanh activation function, if \(a = g^{[1]}(z)\) then \(g^{[1]'}(z) = 1-a^2\). So you can compute
    \(g^{[1]'}(Z^{[1]})\) using (1 - np.power(A1, 2)).

General gradient descent rule: $ \theta = \theta - \alpha \frac{\partial J }{ \partial \theta }$ where \(\alpha\) is the learning rate and \(\theta\) represents a parameter.

4.5 Predictions

Question: Use your model to predict by building predict().
Use forward propagation to predict results.

Reminder: predictions = \(y_{prediction} = \mathbb 1 \text{{activation > 0.5}} = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if}\ activation > 0.5 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\)

As an example, if you would like to set the entries of a matrix X to 0 and 1 based on a threshold you would do: X_new = (X > threshold)

# GRADED FUNCTION: predict

def predict(parameters, X):
    """
    Using the learned parameters, predicts a class for each example in X
    
    Arguments:
    parameters -- python dictionary containing your parameters 
    X -- input data of size (n_x, m)
    
    Returns
    predictions -- vector of predictions of our model (red: 0 / blue: 1)
    """
    
    # Computes probabilities using forward propagation, and classifies to 0/1 using 0.5 as the threshold.
    ### START CODE HERE ### (≈ 2 lines of code)
    A2, cache = forward_propagation(X, parameters)
    predictions = A2 > 0.5
    ### END CODE HERE ###
    
    return predictions

parameters, X_assess = predict_test_case()

predictions = predict(parameters, X_assess)
print("predictions mean = " + str(np.mean(predictions)))

predictions mean = 0.666666666667

It is time to run the model and see how it performs on a planar dataset. Run the following code to test your model with a single hidden layer of \(n_h\) hidden units.

# Build a model with a n_h-dimensional hidden layer
parameters = nn_model(X, Y, n_h = 4, num_iterations = 10000, print_cost=True)

# Plot the decision boundary
plot_decision_boundary(lambda x: predict(parameters, x.T), X, Y)
plt.title("Decision Boundary for hidden layer size " + str(4))

Cost after iteration 0: 0.692994
Cost after iteration 1000: 0.311041
Cost after iteration 2000: 0.111684
Cost after iteration 3000: 0.108720
Cost after iteration 4000: 0.107840
Cost after iteration 5000: 0.107180
Cost after iteration 6000: 0.106535
Cost after iteration 7000: 0.105934
Cost after iteration 8000: 0.105412
Cost after iteration 9000: 0.104966

# Print accuracy
predictions = predict(parameters, X)
print ('Accuracy: %d' % float((np.dot(Y,predictions.T) + np.dot(1-Y,1-predictions.T))/float(Y.size)*100) + '%')

Accuracy: 90%

Accuracy is really high compared to Logistic Regression. The model has learnt the leaf patterns of the flower! Neural networks are able to learn even highly non-linear decision boundaries, unlike logistic regression.

Now, let's try out several hidden layer sizes.

4.6 - Tuning hidden layer size (optional/ungraded exercise)

Run the following code. It may take 1-2 minutes. You will observe different behaviors of the model for various hidden layer sizes.

# This may take about 2 minutes to run

plt.figure(figsize=(16, 32))
hidden_layer_sizes = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 20, 50]
for i, n_h in enumerate(hidden_layer_sizes):
    plt.subplot(5, 2, i+1)
    plt.title('Hidden Layer of size %d' % n_h)
    parameters = nn_model(X, Y, n_h, num_iterations = 5000)
    plot_decision_boundary(lambda x: predict(parameters, x.T), X, Y)
    predictions = predict(parameters, X)
    accuracy = float((np.dot(Y,predictions.T) + np.dot(1-Y,1-predictions.T))/float(Y.size)*100)
    print ("Accuracy for {} hidden units: {} %".format(n_h, accuracy))

Accuracy for 1 hidden units: 71.0 %
Accuracy for 2 hidden units: 84.0 %
Accuracy for 3 hidden units: 97.0 %
Accuracy for 4 hidden units: 97.5 %
Accuracy for 5 hidden units: 97.5 %
Accuracy for 20 hidden units: 100.0 %
Accuracy for 50 hidden units: 100.0 %

Interpretation:

• The larger models (with more hidden units) are able to fit the training set better, until eventually the largest models overfit the data.
• The best hidden layer size seems to be around n_h = 5. Indeed, a value around here seems to fits the data well without also incurring noticeable overfitting.
• You will also learn later about regularization, which lets you use very large models (such as n_h = 50) without much overfitting.

Some optional/ungraded questions that you can explore if you wish:

• What happens when you change the tanh activation for a sigmoid activation or a ReLU activation?
• Play with the learning_rate. What happens?
• What if we change the dataset? (See part 5 below!)

# Datasets
noisy_circles, noisy_moons, blobs, gaussian_quantiles, no_structure = load_extra_datasets()

datasets = {"noisy_circles": noisy_circles,
            "noisy_moons": noisy_moons,
            "blobs": blobs,
            "gaussian_quantiles": gaussian_quantiles}

### START CODE HERE ### (choose your dataset)
dataset = "gaussian_quantiles"
### END CODE HERE ###

X, Y = datasets[dataset]
X, Y = X.T, Y.reshape(1, Y.shape[0])

# make blobs binary
if dataset == "blobs":
    Y = Y%2

# Visualize the data
plt.scatter(X[0, :], X[1, :], c=Y, s=40, cmap=plt.cm.Spectral);
