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 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.
# 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 = shape_X[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!
Expected Output:
**shape of X** | (2, 400) |
**shape of Y** | (1, 400) |
**m** | 400 |
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);
C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sklearn\utils\validation.py:547: DataConversionWarning: A column-vector y was passed when a 1d array was expected. Please change the shape of y to (n_samples, ), for example using ravel().
y = column_or_1d(y, warn=True)
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)
Expected Output:
**Accuracy** | 47% |
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) x ( i ) :
