  • 1 Algorithms for Machine Learning 2 Linear Separability
    15-451/651: Design & Analysis of Algorithms November 24, 2014 Lecture #26 last changed: December 7, 2014 1 Algorithms for Machine Learning Suppose you want to classify mails as spam/not-spam. Your data points are email messages, and say each email can be classified as a positive instance (it is spam), or a negative instance (it is not). It is unlikely that you'll get more than one copy of the same message: you really want to \learn" the concept of spam-ness, so that you can classify future emails correctly. Emails are too unstructured, so you may represent them as more structured objects. One simple way is to use feature vectors: say you have a long bit vector indexed by words and features (e.g., \money", \bank", \click here", poor grammar, mis-spellings, known-sender) and the ith bit is set if the ith feature occurs in your email. (You could keep track of counts of words, and more sophisticated features too.) Now this vector is given a single-bit label: 1 (spam) or -1 (not spam). d These positively- and negatively-labeled vectors are sitting in R , and ideally we want to find something about the structure of the positive and negative clouds-of-points so that future emails (represented by vectors in the same space) can be correctly classified. 2 Linear Separability How do we represent the concept of \spam-ness"? Given the geometric representation of the input, it is reasonable to represent the concept geometrically as well. Here is perhaps the simplest d formalization: we are given a set S of n pairs (xi; yi) 2 R × {−1; 1g, where each xi is a data point and yi is a label, where you should think of xi as the vector representation of the actual data point, and the label yi = 1 as \xi is a positive instance of the concept we are trying to learn" and yi = −1 1 as \xi is a negative instance".

  • Solvable Model for the Linear Separability of Structured Data
    entropy Article Solvable Model for the Linear Separability of Structured Data Marco Gherardi 1,2 1 Department of Physics, Università degli Studi di Milano, via Celoria 16, 20133 Milano, Italy; [email protected] 2 Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare Sezione di Milano, via Celoria 16, 20133 Milano, Italy Abstract: Linear separability, a core concept in supervised machine learning, refers to whether the labels of a data set can be captured by the simplest possible machine: a linear classifier. In order to quantify linear separability beyond this single bit of information, one needs models of data structure parameterized by interpretable quantities, and tractable analytically. Here, I address one class of models with these properties, and show how a combinatorial method allows for the computation, in a mean field approximation, of two useful descriptors of linear separability, one of which is closely related to the popular concept of storage capacity. I motivate the need for multiple metrics by quantifying linear separability in a simple synthetic data set with controlled correlations between the points and their labels, as well as in the benchmark data set MNIST, where the capacity alone paints an incomplete picture. The analytical results indicate a high degree of “universality”, or robustness with respect to the microscopic parameters controlling data structure. Keywords: linear separability; storage capacity; data structure 1. Introduction Citation: Gherardi, M. Solvable Linear classifiers are quintessential models of supervised machine learning. Despite Model for the Linear Separability of their simplicity, or possibly because of it, they are ubiquitous: they are building blocks of Structured Data.

  • 4 Perceptron Learning
    4 Perceptron Learning 4.1 Learning algorithms for neural networks In the two preceding chapters we discussed two closely related models, McCulloch–Pitts units and perceptrons, but the question of how to find the parameters adequate for a given task was left open. If two sets of points have to be separated linearly with a perceptron, adequate weights for the comput- ing unit must be found. The operators that we used in the preceding chapter, for example for edge detection, used hand customized weights. Now we would like to find those parameters automatically. The perceptron learning algorithm deals with this problem. A learning algorithm is an adaptive method by which a network of com- puting units self-organizes to implement the desired behavior. This is done in some learning algorithms by presenting some examples of the desired input- output mapping to the network. A correction step is executed iteratively until the network learns to produce the desired response. The learning algorithm is a closed loop of presentation of examples and of corrections to the network parameters, as shown in Figure 4.1. network test input-output compute the examples error fix network parameters Fig. 4.1. Learning process in a parametric system R. Rojas: Neural Networks, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1996 78 4 Perceptron Learning In some simple cases the weights for the computing units can be found through a sequential test of stochastically generated numerical combinations. However, such algorithms which look blindly for a solution do not qualify as “learning”. A learning algorithm must adapt the network parameters accord- ing to previous experience until a solution is found, if it exists.

    patterns, predictions, and actions - 2021-09-27 1 3 Supervised learning Previously, we talked about the fundamentals of prediction and statistical modeling of populations. Our goal was, broadly speaking, to use available information described by a random variable X to conjecture about an unknown outcome Y. In the important special case of a binary outcome Y, we saw that we can write an optimal predictor Yb as a threshold of some function f : Yb(x) = 1 f (x) > t f g We saw that in many cases the optimal function is a ratio of two likelihood functions. This optimal predictor has a serious limitation in practice, however. To be able to compute the prediction for a given input, we need to know a probability density function for the positive instances in our problem and also one for the negative instances. But we are often unable to construct or unwilling to assume a particular density function. As a thought experiment, attempt to imagine what a probability density function over images labeled cat might look like. Coming up with such a density function appears to be a formidable task, one that’s not intuitively any easier than merely classifying whether an image contains a cat or not. In this chapter, we transition from a purely mathematical charac- terization of optimal predictors to an algorithmic framework. This framework has two components. One is the idea of working with fi- nite samples from a population. The other is the theory of supervised learning and it tells us how to use finite samples to build predictors algorithmically.

    Correction of AI systems by linear discriminants: Probabilistic foundations A.N. Gorbana,b,∗, A. Golubkovc, B. Grechuka, E.M. Mirkesa,b, I.Y. Tyukina,b aDepartment of Mathematics, University of Leicester, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK bLobachevsky University, Nizhni Novgorod, Russia cSaint-Petersburg State Electrotechnical University, Saint-Petersburg, Russia Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems sometimes make errors and will make errors in the future, from time to time. These errors are usually unexpected, and can lead to dramatic consequences. Intensive development of AI and its practical applications makes the problem of errors more important. Total re-engineering of the systems can create new errors and is not always possible due to the resources involved. The important challenge is to develop fast methods to correct errors without damaging existing skills. We formulated the technical requirements to the ‘ideal’ correctors. Such correctors include binary classifiers, which separate the situations with high risk of errors from the situations where the AI systems work properly. Surprisingly, for essentially high-dimensional data such methods are possible: simple linear Fisher discriminant can separate the situations with errors from correctly solved tasks even for exponentially large samples. The paper presents the probabilistic basis for fast non-destructive correction of AI systems. A series of new stochastic separation theorems is proven. These theorems provide new instruments for fast non-iterative correction of errors of legacy AI systems. The new approaches become efficient in high-dimensions, for correction of high-dimensional systems in high-dimensional world (i.e. for processing of essentially high-dimensional data by large systems). We prove that this separability property holds for a wide class of distributions including log-concave distributions and distributions with a special ‘SMeared Absolute Continuity’ (SmAC) property defined through relations between the volume and probability of sets of vanishing volume.

  • Hyperplane Separability and Convexity of Probabilistic Point Sets
    Hyperplane Separability and Convexity of Probabilistic Point Sets Martin Fink∗1, John Hershberger2, Nirman Kumar†3, and Subhash Suri‡4 1 University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA 2 Mentor Graphics Corp., Wilsonville, OR, USA 3 University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA 4 University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA Abstract We describe an O(nd) time algorithm for computing the exact probability that two d-dimensional probabilistic point sets are linearly separable, for any fixed d ≥ 2. A probabilistic point in d-space is the usual point, but with an associated (independent) probability of existence. We also show that the d-dimensional separability problem is equivalent to a (d + 1)-dimensional convex hull membership problem, which asks for the probability that a query point lies inside the convex hull of n probabilistic points. Using this reduction, we improve the current best bound for the convex hull membership by a factor of n [6]. In addition, our algorithms can handle “input degeneracies” in which more than k + 1 points may lie on a k-dimensional subspace, thus resolving an open problem in [6]. Finally, we prove lower bounds for the separability problem via a reduction from the k-SUM problem, which shows in particular that our O(n2) algorithms for 2-dimensional separability and 3-dimensional convex hull membership are nearly optimal. 1998 ACM Subject Classification I.3.5 Computational Geometry and Object Modeling, F.2.2 Nonnumerical Algorithms and Problems, G.3 Probability and Statistics Keywords and phrases probabilistic separability, uncertain data, 3-SUM hardness, topological sweep, hyperplane separation, multi-dimensional data Digital Object Identifier 10.4230/LIPIcs.SoCG.2016.38 1 Introduction Multi-dimensional point sets are a commonly used abstraction for modeling and analyzing data in many domains.

  • The Linear Separability Problem: Some Testing Methods D
    330 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NEURAL NETWORKS, VOL. 17, NO. 2, MARCH 2006 The Linear Separability Problem: Some Testing Methods D. Elizondo Abstract—The notion of linear separability is used widely in ma- chine learning research. Learning algorithms that use this concept to learn include neural networks (single layer perceptron and re- cursive deterministic perceptron), and kernel machines (support vector machines). This paper presents an overview of several of the methods for testing linear separability between two classes. The methods are divided into four groups: Those based on linear pro- gramming, those based on computational geometry, one based on neural networks, and one based on quadratic programming. The Fisher linear discriminant method is also presented. A section on the quantification of the complexity of classification problems is in- cluded. Index Terms—Class of separability, computational geometry, convex hull, Fisher linear discriminant, linear programming, linear separability, quadratic programming, simplex, support vector machine. I. INTRODUCTION WO SUBSETS and of are said to be linearly T separable (LS) if there exists a hyperplane of such that the elements of and those of lie on opposite sides of it. Fig. 1 shows an example of LS and NLS set of points. Squares and circles denote the two classes. Linear separability is an important topic in the domain of machine learning and cognitive psychology. A linear model is rather robust against noise and most likely will not over fit. Mul- tilayer non linear neural networks, such as the back propagation algorithm, work well for classification problems. However, as the experience of perceptrons has shown, there are many real life problems in which there is a linear separation.
