Training Linear Models
Chapter 4
This notebook contains all the sample code and solutions to the exercises in chapter 4.
First, let's import a few common modules, ensure MatplotLib plots figures inline and prepare a function to save the figures. We also check that Python 3.5 or later is installed (although Python 2.x may work, it is deprecated so we strongly recommend you use Python 3 instead), as well as Scikit-Learn ≥0.20.
#collapse-show
# Python ≥3.5 is required
import sys
assert sys.version_info >= (3, 5)
# Scikit-Learn ≥0.20 is required
import sklearn
assert sklearn.__version__ >= "0.20"
# Common imports

The LinearRegression class is based on the scipy.linalg.lstsq() function (the name stands for "least squares"), which you could call directly:
theta_best_svd, residuals, rank, s = np.linalg.lstsq(X_b, y, rcond=1e-6)
theta_best_svd
This function computes $\mathbf{X}^+\mathbf{y}$, where $\mathbf{X}^{+}$ is the pseudoinverse of $\mathbf{X}$ (specifically the Moore-Penrose inverse). You can use np.linalg.pinv() to compute the pseudoinverse directly:
np.linalg.pinv(X_b).dot(y)

See appendix A.
Let's start by loading the data. We will just reuse the Iris dataset we loaded earlier.
X = iris["data"][:, (2, 3)] # petal length, petal width
y = iris["target"]
We need to add the bias term for every instance ($x_0 = 1$):
X_with_bias = np.c_[np.ones([len(X), 1]), X]
And let's set the random seed so the output of this exercise solution is reproducible:
np.random.seed(2042)
The easiest option to split the dataset into a training set, a validation set and a test set would be to use Scikit-Learn's train_test_split() function, but the point of this exercise is to try understand the algorithms by implementing them manually. So here is one possible implementation:
test_ratio = 0.2
validation_ratio = 0.2
total_size = len(X_with_bias)
test_size = int(total_size * test_ratio)
validation_size = int(total_size * validation_ratio)
train_size = total_size - test_size - validation_size
rnd_indices = np.random.permutation(total_size)
X_train = X_with_bias[rnd_indices[:train_size]]
y_train = y[rnd_indices[:train_size]]
X_valid = X_with_bias[rnd_indices[train_size:-test_size]]
y_valid = y[rnd_indices[train_size:-test_size]]
X_test = X_with_bias[rnd_indices[-test_size:]]
y_test = y[rnd_indices[-test_size:]]
The targets are currently class indices (0, 1 or 2), but we need target class probabilities to train the Softmax Regression model. Each instance will have target class probabilities equal to 0.0 for all classes except for the target class which will have a probability of 1.0 (in other words, the vector of class probabilities for ay given instance is a one-hot vector). Let's write a small function to convert the vector of class indices into a matrix containing a one-hot vector for each instance:
def to_one_hot(y):
n_classes = y.max() + 1
m = len(y)
Y_one_hot = np.zeros((m, n_classes))
Y_one_hot[np.arange(m), y] = 1
return Y_one_hot
Let's test this function on the first 10 instances:
y_train[:10]
to_one_hot(y_train[:10])
Looks good, so let's create the target class probabilities matrix for the training set and the test set:
Y_train_one_hot = to_one_hot(y_train)
Y_valid_one_hot = to_one_hot(y_valid)
Y_test_one_hot = to_one_hot(y_test)
Now let's implement the Softmax function. Recall that it is defined by the following equation:
$\sigma\left(\mathbf{s}(\mathbf{x})\right)_k = \dfrac{\exp\left(s_k(\mathbf{x})\right)}{\sum\limits_{j=1}^{K}{\exp\left(s_j(\mathbf{x})\right)}}$
def softmax(logits):
exps = np.exp(logits)
exp_sums = np.sum(exps, axis=1, keepdims=True)
return exps / exp_sums
We are almost ready to start training. Let's define the number of inputs and outputs:
n_inputs = X_train.shape[1] # == 3 (2 features plus the bias term)
n_outputs = len(np.unique(y_train)) # == 3 (3 iris classes)
Now here comes the hardest part: training! Theoretically, it's simple: it's just a matter of translating the math equations into Python code. But in practice, it can be quite tricky: in particular, it's easy to mix up the order of the terms, or the indices. You can even end up with code that looks like it's working but is actually not computing exactly the right thing. When unsure, you should write down the shape of each term in the equation and make sure the corresponding terms in your code match closely. It can also help to evaluate each term independently and print them out. The good news it that you won't have to do this everyday, since all this is well implemented by Scikit-Learn, but it will help you understand what's going on under the hood.
So the equations we will need are the cost function:
$J(\mathbf{\Theta}) =
- \dfrac{1}{m}\sum\limits{i=1}^{m}\sum\limits{k=1}^{K}{y_k^{(i)}\log\left(\hat{p}_k^{(i)}\right)}$
And the equation for the gradients:
$\nabla_{\mathbf{\theta}^{(k)}} \, J(\mathbf{\Theta}) = \dfrac{1}{m} \sum\limits_{i=1}^{m}{ \left ( \hat{p}^{(i)}_k - y_k^{(i)} \right ) \mathbf{x}^{(i)}}$
Note that $\log\left(\hat{p}_k^{(i)}\right)$ may not be computable if $\hat{p}_k^{(i)} = 0$. So we will add a tiny value $\epsilon$ to $\log\left(\hat{p}_k^{(i)}\right)$ to avoid getting nan values.
eta = 0.01
n_iterations = 5001
m = len(X_train)
epsilon = 1e-7
Theta = np.random.randn(n_inputs, n_outputs)
for iteration in range(n_iterations):
logits = X_train.dot(Theta)
Y_proba = softmax(logits)
loss = -np.mean(np.sum(Y_train_one_hot * np.log(Y_proba + epsilon), axis=1))
error = Y_proba - Y_train_one_hot
if iteration % 500 == 0:
print(iteration, loss)
gradients = 1/m * X_train.T.dot(error)
Theta = Theta - eta * gradients
And that's it! The Softmax model is trained. Let's look at the model parameters:
Theta
Let's make predictions for the validation set and check the accuracy score:
logits = X_valid.dot(Theta)
Y_proba = softmax(logits)
y_predict = np.argmax(Y_proba, axis=1)
accuracy_score = np.mean(y_predict == y_valid)
accuracy_score
Well, this model looks pretty good. For the sake of the exercise, let's add a bit of $\ell_2$ regularization. The following training code is similar to the one above, but the loss now has an additional $\ell_2$ penalty, and the gradients have the proper additional term (note that we don't regularize the first element of Theta since this corresponds to the bias term). Also, let's try increasing the learning rate eta.
eta = 0.1
n_iterations = 5001
m = len(X_train)
epsilon = 1e-7
alpha = 0.1 # regularization hyperparameter
Theta = np.random.randn(n_inputs, n_outputs)
for iteration in range(n_iterations):
logits = X_train.dot(Theta)
Y_proba = softmax(logits)
xentropy_loss = -np.mean(np.sum(Y_train_one_hot * np.log(Y_proba + epsilon), axis=1))
l2_loss = 1/2 * np.sum(np.square(Theta[1:]))
loss = xentropy_loss + alpha * l2_loss
error = Y_proba - Y_train_one_hot
if iteration % 500 == 0:
print(iteration, loss)
gradients = 1/m * X_train.T.dot(error) + np.r_[np.zeros([1, n_outputs]), alpha * Theta[1:]]
Theta = Theta - eta * gradients
Because of the additional $\ell_2$ penalty, the loss seems greater than earlier, but perhaps this model will perform better? Let's find out:
logits = X_valid.dot(Theta)
Y_proba = softmax(logits)
y_predict = np.argmax(Y_proba, axis=1)
accuracy_score = np.mean(y_predict == y_valid)
accuracy_score
Cool, perfect accuracy! We probably just got lucky with this validation set, but still, it's pleasant.
Now let's add early stopping. For this we just need to measure the loss on the validation set at every iteration and stop when the error starts growing.
eta = 0.1
n_iterations = 5001
m = len(X_train)
epsilon = 1e-7
alpha = 0.1 # regularization hyperparameter
best_loss = np.infty
Theta = np.random.randn(n_inputs, n_outputs)
for iteration in range(n_iterations):
logits = X_train.dot(Theta)
Y_proba = softmax(logits)
xentropy_loss = -np.mean(np.sum(Y_train_one_hot * np.log(Y_proba + epsilon), axis=1))
l2_loss = 1/2 * np.sum(np.square(Theta[1:]))
loss = xentropy_loss + alpha * l2_loss
error = Y_proba - Y_train_one_hot
gradients = 1/m * X_train.T.dot(error) + np.r_[np.zeros([1, n_outputs]), alpha * Theta[1:]]
Theta = Theta - eta * gradients
logits = X_valid.dot(Theta)
Y_proba = softmax(logits)
xentropy_loss = -np.mean(np.sum(Y_valid_one_hot * np.log(Y_proba + epsilon), axis=1))
l2_loss = 1/2 * np.sum(np.square(Theta[1:]))
loss = xentropy_loss + alpha * l2_loss
if iteration % 500 == 0:
print(iteration, loss)
if loss < best_loss:
best_loss = loss
else:
print(iteration - 1, best_loss)
print(iteration, loss, "early stopping!")
break
logits = X_valid.dot(Theta)
Y_proba = softmax(logits)
y_predict = np.argmax(Y_proba, axis=1)
accuracy_score = np.mean(y_predict == y_valid)
accuracy_score
Still perfect, but faster.
Now let's plot the model's predictions on the whole dataset:
x0, x1 = np.meshgrid(
np.linspace(0, 8, 500).reshape(-1, 1),
np.linspace(0, 3.5, 200).reshape(-1, 1),
)
X_new = np.c_[x0.ravel(), x1.ravel()]
X_new_with_bias = np.c_[np.ones([len(X_new), 1]), X_new]
logits = X_new_with_bias.dot(Theta)
Y_proba = softmax(logits)
y_predict = np.argmax(Y_proba, axis=1)
zz1 = Y_proba[:, 1].reshape(x0.shape)
zz = y_predict.reshape(x0.shape)
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 4))
plt.plot(X[y==2, 0], X[y==2, 1], "g^", label="Iris virginica")
plt.plot(X[y==1, 0], X[y==1, 1], "bs", label="Iris versicolor")
plt.plot(X[y==0, 0], X[y==0, 1], "yo", label="Iris setosa")
from matplotlib.colors import ListedColormap
custom_cmap = ListedColormap(['#fafab0','#9898ff','#a0faa0'])
plt.contourf(x0, x1, zz, cmap=custom_cmap)
contour = plt.contour(x0, x1, zz1, cmap=plt.cm.brg)
plt.clabel(contour, inline=1, fontsize=12)
plt.xlabel("Petal length", fontsize=14)
plt.ylabel("Petal width", fontsize=14)
plt.legend(loc="upper left", fontsize=14)
plt.axis([0, 7, 0, 3.5])
plt.show()
And now let's measure the final model's accuracy on the test set:
logits = X_test.dot(Theta)
Y_proba = softmax(logits)
y_predict = np.argmax(Y_proba, axis=1)
accuracy_score = np.mean(y_predict == y_test)
accuracy_score
Our perfect model turns out to have slight imperfections. This variability is likely due to the very small size of the dataset: depending on how you sample the training set, validation set and the test set, you can get quite different results. Try changing the random seed and running the code again a few times, you will see that the results will vary.
