Neural Network Basics
1
What does a neuron compute?
A neuron computes a linear function (z = Wx + b) followed by an activation function
A neuron computes a function g that scales the input x linearly (Wx + b)
A neuron computes the mean of all features before applying the output to an activation function
A neuron computes an activation function followed by a linear function (z = Wx + b)

Which of these is the "Logistic Loss"?

Suppose img is a (32,32,3) array, representing a 32x32 image with 3 color channels red, green and blue. How do you reshape this into a column vector?
x = img.reshape((32323,1))
x = img.reshape((3,32*32))
x = img.reshape((1,3232,3))
x = img.reshape((32*32,3))

Consider the two following random arrays "a" and "b":
a = np.random.randn(2, 3) # a.shape = (2, 3)
b = np.random.randn(2, 1) # b.shape = (2, 1)
c = a + b复制代码
What will be the shape of "c"?
c.shape = (2, 3)
Yes! This is broadcasting. b (column vector) is copied 3 times so that it can be summed to each column of a.复制代码
c.shape = (2, 1)
c.shape = (3, 2)
The computation cannot happen because the sizes don't match. It's going to be "Error"!

Consider the two following random arrays "a" and "b":
a = np.random.randn(4, 3) # a.shape = (4, 3)
b = np.random.randn(3, 2) # b.shape = (3, 2)
c = a*b复制代码
What will be the shape of "c"?
The computation cannot happen because the sizes don't match. It's going to be "Error"!
Indeed! In numpy the "*" operator indicates element-wise multiplication. It is different from "np.dot()". If you would try "c = np.dot(a,b)" you would get c.shape = (4, 2).复制代码
c.shape = (4, 3)
c.shape = (3, 3)
c.shape = (4,2)

Suppose you have nx input features per example. Recall that X=[x(1)x(2)...x(m)]. What is the dimension of X?
(nx,m)
(m,1)>
(1,m)
(m,nx)
7
Recall that "np.dot(a,b)" performs a matrix multiplication on a and b, whereas "a*b" performs an element-wise multiplication.
Consider the two following random arrays "a" and "b":
a = np.random.randn(12288, 150) # a.shape = (12288, 150)
b = np.random.randn(150, 45) # b.shape = (150, 45)
c = np.dot(a,b)复制代码
What is the shape of c?
c.shape = (12288, 45)
Correct, remember that a np.dot(a, b) has shape (number of rows of a, number of columns of b). The sizes match because :
"number of columns of a = 150 = number of rows of b"复制代码
The computation cannot happen because the sizes don't match. It's going to be "Error"!
c.shape = (150,150)
c.shape = (12288, 150)

Consider the following code snippet:
# a.shape = (3,4)
# b.shape = (4,1)
for i in range(3):
for j in range(4):
c[i][j] = a[i][j] + b[j]复制代码
How do you vectorize this?
c = a.T + b.T
c = a.T + b
c = a + b.T
c = a + b

Consider the following code:
a = np.random.randn(3, 3)
b = np.random.randn(3, 1)
c = a*b复制代码
What will be c? (If you’re not sure, feel free to run this in python to find out).
This will invoke broadcasting, so b is copied three times to become (3,3), and ∗ is an element-wise product so c.shape will be (3, 3)
This will invoke broadcasting, so b is copied three times to become (3, 3), and ∗ invokes a matrix multiplication operation of two 3x3 matrices so c.shape will be (3, 3)
This will multiply a 3x3 matrix a with a 3x1 vector, thus resulting in a 3x1 vector. That is, c.shape = (3,1).
It will lead to an error since you cannot use “*” to operate on these two matrices. You need to instead use np.dot(a,b)
10
Consider the following computation graph.
What is the output J?
J = (c - 1)*(b + a)
J = (a - 1) * (b + c)
Yes. J = u + v - w = a*b + a*c - (b + c) = a * (b + c) - (b + c) = (a - 1) * (b + c).复制代码
J = ab + bc + a*c
J = (b - 1) * (c + a)
