Deep learning has gained tremendous popularity in various fields of data science in recent years. It has become a very useful tool for solving problems in diverse domains. In this course, we will take a closer look at one of the well-known deep learning architectures, LeNet-5.

What is LeNet-5?

LeNet-5 is a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture developed by researchers including Yann LeCun in 1998. It is a useful model for recognizing images, primarily used for handwritten digit recognition. This model follows the basic structure of CNN and consists of several layers. LeNet-5 is composed of the following layers:

• Input Layer: Grayscale image of 32×32 pixels.
• Convolution Layer (C1): Generates a feature map of size 28×28 using 6 filters (5×5).
• Pooling Layer (S2): Generates 6 feature maps of size 14×14 through average pooling.
• Convolution Layer (C3): Uses 16 filters to generate a feature map of size 10×10.
• Pooling Layer (S4): Generates 16 feature maps of size 5×5 through average pooling.
• Convolution Layer (C5): Generates the final feature map using 120 filters (5×5).
• Fully Connected Layer (F6): Outputs the final result with 84 neurons.
• Output Layer: Classifies into 10 classes (0-9).

The Importance of LeNet-5

LeNet-5 is one of the foundational architectures of CNN, forming the basis for many deep networks. This model has brought many innovations to the field of image recognition, and various modified models still exist today. Thanks to the simplicity and efficiency of LeNet-5, it performs well on many datasets.

Implementing LeNet-5

Now, let’s implement LeNet-5 using PyTorch. PyTorch is a user-friendly deep learning framework widely used in various research and industry applications. Additionally, PyTorch has the advantage of using dynamic computation graphs.

Environment Setup

First, we need to install the necessary libraries and set up the environment. Use the following code to install PyTorch and torchvision:

pip install torch torchvision

Implementing LeNet-5 Model

Now let’s implement the structure of LeNet-5:

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F

class LeNet5(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super(LeNet5, self).__init__()
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 6, kernel_size=5)
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(6, 16, kernel_size=5)
        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(16 * 5 * 5, 120)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(120, 84)
        self.fc3 = nn.Linear(84, 10)

    def forward(self, x):
        x = F.relu(self.conv1(x))
        x = F.avg_pool2d(x, kernel_size=2, stride=2)
        x = F.relu(self.conv2(x))
        x = F.avg_pool2d(x, kernel_size=2, stride=2)
        x = x.view(-1, 16 * 5 * 5)
        x = F.relu(self.fc1(x))
        x = F.relu(self.fc2(x))
        x = self.fc3(x)
        return x

Preparing Dataset for Model Training

LeNet-5 will be trained using the MNIST dataset. You can easily download and load the data using torchvision. Use the following code to prepare the MNIST dataset:

from torchvision import datasets, transforms

transform = transforms.Compose([
    transforms.Grayscale(num_output_channels=1),
    transforms.Resize((32, 32)),
    transforms.ToTensor(),
    transforms.Normalize((0.5,), (0.5,))
])

train_dataset = datasets.MNIST(root='./data', train=True, download=True, transform=transform)
test_dataset = datasets.MNIST(root='./data', train=False, download=True, transform=transform)

train_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset=train_dataset, batch_size=64, shuffle=True)
test_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset=test_dataset, batch_size=64, shuffle=False)

Model Training

To train the model, we need to set up a loss function and an optimization algorithm. Here, we will use Cross Entropy Loss and the Adam optimizer:

device = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu')
model = LeNet5().to(device)
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=0.001)

num_epochs = 5
for epoch in range(num_epochs):
    for i, (images, labels) in enumerate(train_loader):
        images = images.to(device)
        labels = labels.to(device)

        # Forward pass
        outputs = model(images)
        loss = criterion(outputs, labels)

        # Backward and optimize
        optimizer.zero_grad()
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()

        if (i + 1) % 100 == 0:
            print(f'Epoch [{epoch + 1}/{num_epochs}], Step [{i + 1}/{len(train_loader)}], Loss: {loss.item():.4f}')

Model Evaluation

After training is completed, you can evaluate the model’s performance. We will check the accuracy using the test dataset:

model.eval()
with torch.no_grad():
    correct = 0
    total = 0
    for images, labels in test_loader:
        images = images.to(device)
        labels = labels.to(device)
        outputs = model(images)
        _, predicted = torch.max(outputs.data, 1)
        total += labels.size(0)
        correct += (predicted == labels).sum().item()

    print(f'Accuracy of the model on the test images: {100 * correct / total:.2f}%')

Conclusion

In this course, we examined the process of implementing and training the LeNet-5 architecture using PyTorch. LeNet-5 is a good example for understanding and practicing the fundamentals of CNN. Based on this model, more complex network architectures or various applications can be developed. As the next step, we recommend exploring deeper network structures or datasets.

K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) is a very simple and intuitive algorithm in machine learning and deep learning,
which finds the K nearest neighbors for a given data point and makes predictions based on the labels of those neighbors.
KNN is primarily used for classification problems but can also be applied to regression problems.

1. Basic Principle of KNN

The basic idea of the KNN algorithm is as follows. When trying to classify a given sample,
the K closest data points to that sample are selected.
Based on the information provided by these K data points, the label of the new sample is determined.
For example, if K is 3, the labels of the 3 nearest neighbors to the given sample are checked,
and the most common label among them is selected.

1.1 Distance Measurement Methods

To find neighbors in KNN, the distance between two data points must be measured.
Commonly used distance measurement methods are as follows:

• Euclidean Distance: Defined as the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
• Manhattan Distance: Defined as the sum of the absolute differences between two points.
• Minkowski Distance: A generalized distance metric that includes both Euclidean and Manhattan distances.

2. Advantages and Disadvantages of KNN

2.1 Advantages

• It is simple and intuitive to implement.
• Since no model training is needed, it can predict immediately.
• It performs well even on non-linear data.

2.2 Disadvantages

• Prediction speed decreases with large datasets.
• The choice of K value significantly affects the results.
• Performance may degrade in high-dimensional data (curse of dimensionality).

3. Implementing KNN with PyTorch

In this section, we will learn how to implement KNN using PyTorch.
We will install the necessary libraries and prepare the required dataset.

3.1 Installing Necessary Libraries

    
    pip install torch numpy scikit-learn
    
    

3.2 Preparing the Dataset

We will implement KNN using the breast cancer dataset.
We will load the breast cancer dataset provided by scikit-learn.

    
    import numpy as np
    import torch
    from sklearn.datasets import load_breast_cancer
    from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
    from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
    
    # Load the dataset
    data = load_breast_cancer()
    X = data.data
    y = data.target
    
    # Split the dataset (training/testing)
    X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.3, random_state=42)
    
    # Normalize the data
    scaler = StandardScaler()
    X_train = scaler.fit_transform(X_train)
    X_test = scaler.transform(X_test)
    
    

3.3 Implementing the KNN Algorithm

Now we will implement the KNN algorithm.
First, we will define a class that performs KNN.

    
    class KNN:
        def __init__(self, k=3):
            self.k = k
            
        def fit(self, X, y):
            self.X_train = X
            self.y_train = y
            
        def predict(self, X):
            distances = []
            
            for x in X:
                distance = np.sqrt(np.sum((self.X_train - x) ** 2, axis=1))
                distances.append(distance)
                
            distances = np.array(distances)
            neighbors = np.argsort(distances)[:, :self.k]
            return np.array([self.y_train[neighbor].mode()[0] for neighbor in neighbors])
    
    

3.4 Model Training and Prediction

I will show you the process of training and making predictions using the KNN model.

    
    # Create KNN model
    knn = KNN(k=3)
    
    # Fit the model with the training data
    knn.fit(X_train, y_train)
    
    # Predict using the testing data
    predictions = knn.predict(X_test)
    
    # Calculate accuracy
    accuracy = np.mean(predictions == y_test)
    print(f'Model Accuracy: {accuracy * 100:.2f}%')
    
    

4. Improving KNN

Let’s look at a few methods to enhance the performance of KNN.
For example, adjusting the K value or changing the distance metric are some options.
Additionally, reducing the dimensionality of the data can also improve performance.

4.1 Adjusting K Value

The K value significantly impacts the performance of the KNN algorithm.
Setting K too low can lead to overfitting,
while setting it too high can reduce generalization performance.
Therefore, it’s essential to find the optimal K value using cross-validation techniques.

4.2 Changing the Distance Metric

In addition to Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, and Minkowski distance can be used.
It is important to choose the most suitable distance measurement method through experimentation.

4.3 Dimensionality Reduction

Using dimensionality reduction techniques like PCA (Principal Component Analysis) can improve KNN’s performance by reducing the dimensionality of the data.
When the dimensionality is high, it not only becomes difficult to visually understand the data, but it also increases the complexity of calculations.

5. The Relationship between KNN and Deep Learning

The KNN algorithm can be used alongside deep learning.
For instance, the output of a deep learning model can be connected to the basic layer of KNN
to create a more efficient classifier.
Furthermore, information can be extracted from the neighbor data of KNN to be used as features in deep learning.

6. Conclusion

K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) is a fundamental algorithm in machine learning,
and its implementation and understanding are very straightforward.
However, it is crucial to understand the algorithm’s drawbacks, especially the performance issues on large datasets and high-dimensional data,
and to know how to improve them.
I hope this article has helped you build a basic understanding of KNN and provided you with the opportunity to implement KNN in practice through PyTorch.

The advancement of deep learning is based on innovations in various network architectures, including Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). In particular, the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) is a simple yet powerful type of RNN that performs exceptionally well in fields like time series data and Natural Language Processing (NLP). In this content, we will take a detailed look at the structure, operation principles, and code examples using PyTorch for GRU.

1. What is GRU?

GRU is a variant model of recurrent neural networks proposed by Kyunghyun Cho in 2014, which has many similarities with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). However, GRU is composed of a simpler structure, has fewer neurons, and allows for easier computations, leading to faster training speeds. GRU uses two gates to control the flow of information: the update gate and the reset gate.

2. Structure of GRU

The structure of GRU is composed as follows:

• Input (x): The input vector at the current time step
• State (h): The state vector from the previous time step
• Update Gate (z): Determines how much of the new information and the existing information to reflect
• Reset Gate (r): Determines how much of the previous state to ignore
• Candidate State (h~): The candidate state for calculating the new state

3. Mathematical Representation of GRU

The main equations of GRU are as follows:

z_t = σ(W_z * x_t + U_z * h_{t-1})
r_t = σ(W_r * x_t + U_r * h_{t-1})
h~_t = tanh(W_h * x_t + U_h * (r_t * h_{t-1}))
h_t = (1 - z_t) * h_{t-1} + z_t * h~_t

Where:

• σ is the sigmoid function
• tanh is the hyperbolic tangent function
• W and U represent the weight matrices
• t denotes the current time step, and t-1 denotes the previous time step

4. Advantages of GRU

GRU has the following advantages:

• The system is relatively simple, making experimentation and application easy.
• It has fewer required parameters and fast computation speeds.
• It delivers performance similar to LSTM across various scenarios.

5. Implementing GRU with PyTorch

Now let’s implement the GRU model using PyTorch. In the example below, we will create a simple time series prediction model.

5.1 Data Preparation

For a quick example, we will use the values of the sine function as time series data. The model will learn to predict the next value based on the previous sequence values.

import numpy as np
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Generate time series data
def generate_data(seq_length):
    x = np.linspace(0, 100, seq_length)
    y = np.sin(x) + np.random.normal(scale=0.1, size=seq_length)  # Adding noise
    return y

# Convert data into sequences
def create_sequences(data, seq_length):
    sequences = []
    labels = []
    
    for i in range(len(data) - seq_length):
        sequences.append(data[i:i + seq_length])
        labels.append(data[i + seq_length])
    
    return np.array(sequences), np.array(labels)

# Generate and prepare data
data = generate_data(200)
seq_length = 10
X, y = create_sequences(data, seq_length)

# Check the data
print("X shape:", X.shape)
print("y shape:", y.shape)

5.2 Defining the GRU Model

To define the GRU model, we will create a GRU class that inherits from PyTorch’s nn.Module class.

class GRUModel(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, input_size, hidden_size):
        super(GRUModel, self).__init__()
        self.gru = nn.GRU(input_size, hidden_size, batch_first=True)
        self.fc = nn.Linear(hidden_size, 1)
    
    def forward(self, x):
        out, _ = self.gru(x)
        out = self.fc(out[:, -1, :])  # Use only the last output
        return out

# Initialize the model
input_size = 1  # Input data dimension
hidden_size = 16  # Size of the hidden layer in GRU
model = GRUModel(input_size, hidden_size)

5.3 Model Training

To train the model, we will define the loss function and optimization algorithm, and implement the training loop.

# Loss function and optimization algorithm
criterion = nn.MSELoss()
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr=0.001)

# Convert data to tensor
X_tensor = torch.FloatTensor(X).unsqueeze(-1)  # (batch_size, seq_length, input_size)
y_tensor = torch.FloatTensor(y).unsqueeze(-1)  # (batch_size, 1)

# Train the model
num_epochs = 200
for epoch in range(num_epochs):
    model.train()
    
    optimizer.zero_grad()
    outputs = model(X_tensor)
    loss = criterion(outputs, y_tensor)
    loss.backward()
    optimizer.step()
    
    if (epoch + 1) % 20 == 0:
        print(f'Epoch [{epoch+1}/{num_epochs}], Loss: {loss.item():.4f}')

5.4 Model Evaluation and Prediction

After training the model, we will visualize the prediction results.

# Evaluate the model
model.eval()
with torch.no_grad():
    predicted = model(X_tensor).numpy()
    
# Visualize prediction results
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 5))
plt.plot(data, label='Original Data')
plt.plot(np.arange(seq_length, len(predicted) + seq_length), predicted, label='Predicted', color='red')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

6. Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored the basic structure and operational principles of the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and detailed the process of implementing a GRU model using PyTorch. GRU is a model that is simple yet has many potential applications, widely used in areas such as Natural Language Processing and time series prediction.

In the future, we hope to continue research on optimizing deep learning models by utilizing GRU in various ways.

In deep learning, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are widely used to model sequential data such as time series data or natural language processing. Among these, the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) is a variant of RNN developed to address the long-term dependency problem, and it has a similar structure to Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). In this post, we will explain the fundamental concepts of GRU and how to implement it using PyTorch.

1. What is GRU?

GRU is a structure proposed by Kyunghyun Cho in 2014 that operates in a simpler and less computationally intense manner by combining input information and previous state information to determine the current state. GRU uses two primary gates:

• Reset Gate: Determines how much to reduce the influence of previous information.
• Update Gate: Determines how much of the previous state to reflect.

The main equations of GRU are as follows:

1.1 Equation Definition

1. For the input vector x_t and the previous hidden state h_{t-1}, we define the reset gate r_t and the update gate z_t.

r_t = σ(W_r * x_t + U_r * h_{t-1})
z_t = σ(W_z * x_t + U_z * h_{t-1})

Here, W_r, W_z are weight parameters, and U_r, U_z are weights related to the previous state. σ is the sigmoid function.

2. The new hidden state h_t is computed as follows.

h_t = (1 - z_t) * h_{t-1} + z_t * tanh(W_h * x_t + U_h * (r_t * h_{t-1}))

Here, W_h, U_h are additional weights.

2. Advantages of GRU

• With a simpler structure, it has fewer parameters than LSTM, allowing for faster training.
• Due to its ability to learn long-term dependencies well, it performs excellently in various NLP tasks.

3. Implementing GRU Cell

Now, let’s implement the GRU cell using PyTorch. The sample code below demonstrates the basic operation of a GRU clearly.

3.1 GRU Cell Implementation

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F

class GRUSimple(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, input_size, hidden_size):
        super(GRUSimple, self).__init__()
        self.input_size = input_size
        self.hidden_size = hidden_size
        
        # Weight initialization
        self.Wz = nn.Parameter(torch.Tensor(hidden_size, input_size))
        self.Uz = nn.Parameter(torch.Tensor(hidden_size, hidden_size))
        self.Wr = nn.Parameter(torch.Tensor(hidden_size, input_size))
        self.Ur = nn.Parameter(torch.Tensor(hidden_size, hidden_size))
        self.Wh = nn.Parameter(torch.Tensor(hidden_size, input_size))
        self.Uh = nn.Parameter(torch.Tensor(hidden_size, hidden_size))

        self.reset_parameters()

    def reset_parameters(self):
        for param in self.parameters():
            stdv = 1.0 / param.size(0) ** 0.5
            param.data.uniform_(-stdv, stdv)

    def forward(self, x_t, h_prev):
        r_t = torch.sigmoid(self.Wr @ x_t + self.Ur @ h_prev)
        z_t = torch.sigmoid(self.Wz @ x_t + self.Uz @ h_prev)
        h_hat_t = torch.tanh(self.Wh @ x_t + self.Uh @ (r_t * h_prev))
        
        h_t = (1 - z_t) * h_prev + z_t * h_hat_t
        return h_t

The code above implements the structure of a simple GRU cell. The __init__ method initializes the input size and hidden state size, defining the weight parameters. The reset_parameters method initializes the weights. In the forward method, the new hidden state is calculated based on the input and the previous state.

3.2 Testing GRU Cell

Now, let’s write a sample code to test the GRU cell.

input_size = 5
hidden_size = 3
x_t = torch.randn(input_size)  # Generate random input
h_prev = torch.zeros(hidden_size)  # Initial hidden state

gru_cell = GRUSimple(input_size, hidden_size)
h_t = gru_cell(x_t, h_prev)

print("Current hidden state h_t:", h_t)

The above code allows us to check the operation of the GRU cell. It generates random input, sets the initial hidden state to 0, and then outputs the current hidden state h_t through the GRU cell.

4. RNN Model Using GRU

Now, let’s build the RNN model as a whole using the GRU cell.

class GRUModel(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, input_size, hidden_size, output_size):
        super(GRUModel, self).__init__()
        self.gru = GRUSimple(input_size, hidden_size)
        self.fc = nn.Linear(hidden_size, output_size)

    def forward(self, x):
        h_t = torch.zeros(self.gru.hidden_size)  # Initial hidden state

        for t in range(x.size(0)):
            h_t = self.gru(x[t], h_t)  # Use GRU at each time step
        output = self.fc(h_t)  # Convert the last hidden state to output
        return output

The GRUModel class above constructs a model that processes sequential data using the GRU cell. The forward method iterates through the input sequence and uses the GRU cell to update the hidden state. The last hidden state is used to generate the final output through a linear combination.

4.1 Testing RNN Model

Now, let’s test the GRU model.

input_size = 5
hidden_size = 3
output_size = 2
seq_length = 10

x = torch.randn(seq_length, input_size)  # Generate random sequence data

model = GRUModel(input_size, hidden_size, output_size)
output = model(x)

print("Model output:", output)

The code above allows us to observe the process in which the GRU model generates output for the given sequence data.

5. Application of GRU

GRU is utilized in various fields. In particular, it is effectively used in natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including machine translation, sentiment analysis, text generation, and many other applications. Recurrent structures like GRU provide powerful advantages in modeling continuous temporal dependencies.

Since GRU often demonstrates good performance while being simpler than LSTM, it is essential to make an appropriate choice based on the characteristics of the data and the nature of the problem.

6. Conclusion

In this post, we explored the fundamental concepts of GRU and its implementation of the GRU cell and RNN model using PyTorch. GRU is a useful structure for processing complex sequential data and can be integrated into various deep learning models to advance applications. Understanding GRU provides insights into natural language processing and time series analysis and helps in solving practical problems that may arise.

Now, we hope you will also apply GRU to your projects!
