3 3(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ Introduction (1/2) A set of training data is used to obtain a parameter vector (neural networks). Memory-based methods involve storing the entire training set in order to make predictions for future data points (nearest neighbors). In ‘dual representation’, the predictions are also based on linear combinations of a kernel function evaluated at the training data points.

4 4(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ Introduction (2/2) Kernel trick, i.e., kernel substitution: if we have an algorithm in which the input vector x enters only in the form of scalar products, then we can replace that scalar product with some other choice of kernel. Stationary kernels: Homogeneous kernels, i.e., radial basis functions:

5 5(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ Introduction (2/3) The kernel concept was introduced into the field of pattern recognition by Aizerman et al. (1964). Re-introduced in the context of large margin classifiers by Boser et al. (1992). Kernel substitution can be applied to principal component analysis as in a nonlinear variant of PCA (Sch Ö lkopf et al., 1998). Also can be applied to nearest-neighbour classifiers and the kernel Fisher discriminant (Mika et al., 1999: Roth and Steinhage, 2000, Baudat and Anouar, 2000).

6 6(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.1 Dual Representations (1/4) Consider a linear regression model whose parameters are determined by minimizing a regularized sum-of-squares error function given by If we set Where n th row of is And

7 7(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.1 Dual Representations (2/4) We can now reformulate the least-squares algorithm in terms of a (dual representation). We substitute into to obtain

8 8(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.1 Dual Representations (3/4) We define the Gram matrix The sum-of-squares error function can be written as Setting the gradient of with respect to a to zero, we obtain

9 9(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.1 Dual Representations (4/4) We obtain the following prediction for a new input x by substituting this as where we define the vector k(x) with elements The advantage of the dual formulation is that it is expressed entirely in terms of the kernel function k(x,x’).

10 10(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.2 Constructing Kernels (1/5) Kernel function is defined for a one-dimensional input space by Example of kernel

11 11(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.2 Constructing Kernels (2/5) Figure 6.1 Upper Plot: basis functions (polynomials, Gaussians, logistic sigmoid), and lower plots are kernel functions.

12 12(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.2 Constructing Kernels (3/5) A necessary and sufficient condition for a function to be a valid kernel is that the Gram matrix K should be positive semidefinite. Techniques for constructing new kernels: given k 1 (x,x’) and k 2 (x,x’), the following new kernels will also be valid.

13 13(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.2 Constructing Kernels (4/5) ‘Gaussian’ kernel: The feature vector that corresponds to the Gaussian kernel has infinity dimensionality. A kernel function measuring the similarity of two sequences: Fisher score:

14 14(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.2 Constructing Kernels (5/5) Fisher kernel: F is the Fisher information matrix, given by as follows: Sigmoid kernel given by This sigmoid kernel form gives the support machine a superficial resemblance to neural network model.

15 15(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.3 Radial Basis Function Networks (1/3) Radial basis functions: each basis function depends only on the radial distance from a center μ j, so that Expansions in radial basis function also arise from regularization theory: the optimal solution is given by an expansion in the Green’s functions of the operator.

16 16(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.3 Radial Basis Function Networks (2/3) Let’s consider of the interpolation problem when the input variables are noisy. If the noise on the input vector x is described by a variable ξ having a distribution ν(ξ), the sum-of-squares error function becomes as follows: Using the calculus of variation,

27 27(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.4.2 Gaussian processes for regression (4/7) An advantage of a Gaussian processes viewpoint is that we can consider covariance functions that can only be expressed in terms of an infinite number of basis functions.

28 28(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.4.2 Gaussian processes for regression (5/7) Figure 6.6 Illustration of the sampling of data points {t n } from a Gaussian process. The blue curve shows a sample function and the red points show the value of y n. The corresponding values of {t n }, shown in green, are obtained by adding independent Gaussian noise to each of the {y n }.

The green curve shows the sinusoidal function from which the data points, shown in blue, are obtained by sampling and addition of Gaussian noise. The red line shows the mean of the Gaussian process predictive distribution.

31 31(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.4.3 Learning the hyperparameters In practice, rather than fixing the covariance function, we may prefer to use a parametric family of functions and then infer the parameter values from the data. The simplest approach is to make a point estimate at θ by maximizing the log likelihood function. The standard form for a multivariate Gaussian distribution is right above.

32 32(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.4.4 Automatic relevance determination (1/2) If a particular parameter η i becomes small, the function becomes insensitive to the corresponding input variable x i. In figure 10, x 1 is from evaluating the function sin(2π x 1 ), and then adding Gaussian noise. Values of x 2 are given by copying the corresponding values of x 1 and adding noise, and values of x 3 are sampled from an independent Gaussian distribution.

36 36(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.4.6 Laplace approximation (1/8) The third approach to Gaussian process classification is based on the Laplace approximation.

37 37(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.4.6 Laplace approximation (2/8) We then obtain the Laplace approximation by Taylor expanding the logarithm of P(a N |t N ), which up to an additive normalization constant is given by the quantity We resort to the iterative scheme based on the Newton- Raphson method, which gives rise to an iterative reweighted least squares (IRLS) algorithm.

40 40(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.4.6 Laplace approximation (5/8) By solving the integral for P(a N+1 |t N ) We are interested in the decision boundary corresponding to P(t N+1 |t N ) = 0.5

41 41(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.4.6 Laplace approximation (6/8)

43 43(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.4.6 Laplace approximation (8/8) Figure 6.12 Illustration of the use of a Gaussian proccess for Classification. The true distribution is green, and the decision Boundary from the Gaussian process is black. On the right is the predicted posterior probability for the blue and red classes together with the Gaussian process decision boundary.

44 44(C) 2006, SNU Biointelligence Lab, http://bi.snu.ac.kr/http://bi.snu.ac.kr/ 6.4.7 Connection to neural networks Neal has shown that, for a broad class of prior distributions over w, the distribution of functions generated by a neural network will tend to a Gaussian process in the linit M->00, where M is the number of hidden units. By working directly with the covariance function we have implicitly marginalized over the distribution of weights. If the weight prior is governed by hyperparameters, then their values will determine the length of scales of the distribution over functions. Note that we cannot marginalize out the hyperparameters analytically, and must instead resort to techniques of the kind discussed in Section 6.4.
