Dropout

Dropout [1] is a technique for regularizing neural networks by randomly setting some features to zero during the forward pass. In this exercise you will implement a dropout layer and modify your fully-connected network to optionally use dropout.

Dropout forward pass

In the file cs231n/layers.py, implement the forward pass for dropout. Since dropout behaves differently during training and testing, make sure to implement the operation for both modes.

Once you have done so, run the cell below to test your implementation.

x = np.random.randn(500, 500) + 10

for p in [0.3, 0.6, 0.75]:
  out, _ = dropout_forward(x, {'mode': 'train', 'p': p})
  out_test, _ = dropout_forward(x, {'mode': 'test', 'p': p})

  print 'Running tests with p = ', p
  print 'Mean of input: ', x.mean()
  print 'Mean of train-time output: ', out.mean()
  print 'Mean of test-time output: ', out_test.mean()
  print 'Fraction of train-time output set to zero: ', (out == 0).mean()
  print 'Fraction of test-time output set to zero: ', (out_test == 0).mean()
  print

Running tests with p =  0.3
Mean of input:  9.99908067149
Mean of train-time output:  9.97006733854
Mean of test-time output:  9.99908067149
Fraction of train-time output set to zero:  0.700872
Fraction of test-time output set to zero:  0.0

Running tests with p =  0.6
Mean of input:  9.99908067149
Mean of train-time output:  9.98833459263
Mean of test-time output:  9.99908067149
Fraction of train-time output set to zero:  0.400528
Fraction of test-time output set to zero:  0.0

Mean of test-time output:  9.99908067149
Fraction of train-time output set to zero:  0.250744
Fraction of test-time output set to zero:  0.0

Dropout backward pass

In the file cs231n/layers.py, implement the backward pass for dropout. After doing so, run the following cell to numerically gradient-check your implementation.

x = np.random.randn(10, 10) + 10
dout = np.random.randn(*x.shape)

dropout_param = {'mode': 'train', 'p': 0.8, 'seed': 123}
out, cache = dropout_forward(x, dropout_param)
dx = dropout_backward(dout, cache)
dx_num = eval_numerical_gradient_array(lambda xx: dropout_forward(xx, dropout_param)[0], x, dout)

print 'dx relative error: ', rel_error(dx, dx_num)

dx relative error:  5.44560839735e-11

Fully-connected nets with Dropout

In the file cs231n/classifiers/fc_net.py, modify your implementation to use dropout. Specificially, if the constructor the the net receives a nonzero value for the dropout parameter, then the net should add dropout immediately after every ReLU nonlinearity. After doing so, run the following to numerically gradient-check your implementation.

N, D, H1, H2, C = 2, 15, 20, 30, 10
X = np.random.randn(N, D)
y = np.random.randint(C, size=(N,))

for dropout in [0, 0.25, 0.5]:
  print 'Running check with dropout = ', dropout
  model = FullyConnectedNet([H1, H2], input_dim=D, num_classes=C,
                            weight_scale=5e-2, dtype=np.float64,
                            dropout=dropout, seed=123)

  loss, grads = model.loss(X, y)
  print 'Initial loss: ', loss

  for name in sorted(grads):
    f = lambda _: model.loss(X, y)[0]
    grad_num = eval_numerical_gradient(f, model.params[name], verbose=False, h=1e-5)
    print '%s relative error: %.2e' % (name, rel_error(grad_num, grads[name]))
  print

Running check with dropout =  0

Regularization experiment

As an experiment, we will train a pair of two-layer networks on 500 training examples: one will use no dropout, and one will use a dropout probability of 0.75. We will then visualize the training and validation accuracies of the two networks over time.

# Train two identical nets, one with dropout and one without

num_train = 500
small_data = {
  'X_train': data['X_train'][:num_train],
  'y_train': data['y_train'][:num_train],
  'X_val': data['X_val'],
  'y_val': data['y_val'],
}

solvers = {}
dropout_choices = [0, 0.75]
for dropout in dropout_choices:
  model = FullyConnectedNet([500], dropout=dropout)
  print dropout

  solver = Solver(model, small_data,
                  num_epochs=25, batch_size=100,
                  update_rule='adam',
                  optim_config={
                    'learning_rate': 5e-4,
                  },
                  verbose=True, print_every=100)
  solver.train()
  solvers[dropout] = solver

Question

Explain what you see in this experiment. What does it suggest about dropout?

Answer

用不用dropout最后都能对训练集实现接近100%，但对于验证集用dropout的网络表现得好了一点点，这表明了dropout是一种特殊的正则化方式，可以防止过拟合
