Book ADVANCED TOPICS IN NEURAL NETWORKS WITH MATLAB  PARALLEL COMPUTING  OPTIMIZE AND TRAINING

Download or read book ADVANCED TOPICS IN NEURAL NETWORKS WITH MATLAB PARALLEL COMPUTING OPTIMIZE AND TRAINING written by PEREZ C. and published by CESAR PEREZ. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neural networks are inherently parallel algorithms. Multicore CPUs, graphical processing units (GPUs), and clusters of computers with multiple CPUs and GPUs can take advantage of this parallelism. Parallel Computing Toolbox, when used in conjunction with Neural Network Toolbox, enables neural network training and simulation to take advantage of each mode of parallelism. Parallel Computing Toolbox allows neural network training and simulation to run across multiple CPU cores on a single PC, or across multiple CPUs on multiple computers on a network using MATLAB Distributed Computing Server. Using multiple cores can speed calculations. Using multiple computers can allow you to solve problems using data sets too big to fit in the RAM of a single computer. The only limit to problem size is the total quantity of RAM available across all computers. Distributed and GPU computing can be combined to run calculations across multiple CPUs and/or GPUs on a single computer, or on a cluster with MATLAB Distributed Computing Server. It is desirable to determine the optimal regularization parameters in an automated fashion. One approach to this process is the Bayesian framework. In this framework, the weights and biases of the network are assumed to be random variables with specified distributions. The regularization parameters are related to the unknown variances associated with these distributions. You can then estimate these parameters using statistical techniques. It is very difficult to know which training algorithm will be the fastest for a given problem. It depends on many factors, including the complexity of the problem, the number of data points in the training set, the number of weights and biases in the network, the error goal, and whether the network is being used for pattern recognition (discriminant analysis) or function approximation (regression). This book compares the various training algorithms. One of the problems that occur during neural network training is called overfitting. The error on the training set is driven to a very small value, but when new data is presented to the network the error is large. The network has memorized the training examples, but it has not learned to generalize to new situations. This book develops the following topics: Neural Networks with Parallel and GPU Computing Deep Learning Optimize Neural Network Training Speed and Memory Improve Neural Network Generalization and Avoid Overfitting Create and Train Custom Neural Network Architectures Deploy Training of Neural Networks Perceptron Neural Networks Linear Neural Networks Hopfield Neural Network Neural Network Object Reference Neural Network Simulink Block Library Deploy Neural Network Simulink Diagrams

Book Spatially Explicit Hyperparameter Optimization for Neural Networks

Download or read book Spatially Explicit Hyperparameter Optimization for Neural Networks written by Minrui Zheng and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neural networks as the commonly used machine learning algorithms, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have been extensively used in the GIScience domain to explore the nonlinear and complex geographic phenomena. However, there are a few studies that investigate the parameter settings of neural networks in GIScience. Moreover, the model performance of neural networks often depends on the parameter setting for a given dataset. Meanwhile, adjusting the parameter configuration of neural networks will increase the overall running time. Therefore, an automated approach is necessary for addressing these limitations in current studies. This book proposes an automated spatially explicit hyperparameter optimization approach to identify optimal or near-optimal parameter settings for neural networks in the GIScience field. Also, the approach improves the computing performance at both model and computing levels. This book is written for researchers of the GIScience field as well as social science subjects.
