  Nice work

  When building classification models with Keras, we need to transform the target column into an array with binary values before we can use it.

• 1. Which of the following libraries is particularly suited for running machine learning algorithms on GPUs?

  • Correct Answer: PyTorch

  Note: PyTorch and TensorFlow are designed with native support for CUDA to accelerate tensor computations on GPUs, whereas standard libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-learn run primarily on the CPU.

  2. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • Correct Answer: Keras is a high-level API that facilitates fast development and quick prototyping of deep learning models.

  Note: Keras acts as a user-friendly interface built on top of lower-level frameworks (primarily TensorFlow) to streamline model building.

  3. What are the two model classes in the Keras library? Select all that apply.

  • [X] The model class used with the functional API

  • [X] Sequential model

  Note: Keras provides two primary ways to construct models: the straightforward Sequential class for linear stacks of layers, and the flexible Model class used with the Functional API for complex architectures.

  4. When adding a ‘dense’ layer to the first hidden layer in a regression model, what three things do we specify?

  • Correct Answer: The number of neurons in each layer, the activation function, and the number of columns in our data set.

  Note: For the very first hidden layer, Keras requires the input shape (input_dim or input_shape), which corresponds to the number of feature columns in your dataset. The number of targets is only defined later in the final output layer.

  5. When building classification models with Keras, what do we need to do to the target column before we can use it?

  • Correct Answer: Transform it into an array of binary values

  Note: Categorical labels must typically be converted into a one-hot encoded format (an array of binary vectors via tools like to_categorical) so the neural network can compute categorical cross-entropy loss effectively.

• Module 4 - Deep Learning Models
• Module 4 - Shallow Versus Deep Neural Networks
•  (02:45) Recap

  
  
  
  
  
  
• Welcome to Shallow vs Deep Neural Networks. After watching this video, you'll be able ​to describe the difference between shallow neural networks and deep neural networks, ​and explain which factors were behind the sudden boom in the field of deep learning. ​So far, we've covered only neural networks that aren't particularly deep or shallow. ​This is because understanding these networks is the building block of understanding deep ​neural networks being easier to understand due to their simplicity. There isn't a consensus ​on the definition of a shallow neural network, but a neural network with only one or two ​hidden layers is considered a shallow neural network, whereas a network with three or more ​hidden layers and a large number of neurons in each layer is considered a deep neural ​network. ​Also, unlike a shallow neural network, which only takes input as vectors, deep neural networks ​are able to take raw data, such as images and text, and automatically extract the necessary ​features to learn the data better. Neural networks have been around for some time, ​so why did they only recently become deep and start taking off, resulting in so many ​cool and exciting applications? 

  ​The sudden boom in the deep learning field can be attributed to three main factors. ​Number one is advancement in the field itself. We talked about this briefly in the activation ​functions video, where we mentioned that ReLU activation function helped overcome the challenges ​of the vanishing gradient problem and, therefore, opened the door to the creation of very deep ​neural networks. ​Another main reason is the availability of data. Deep neural networks work best when ​trained with large amounts of data. Since neural networks learn the training data so ​well, large amounts of data have to be used to avoid overfitting the training data. Now ​that large amounts of data are readily available and easy to acquire like never before, deep ​learning algorithms are being tried and tested like never before. Other conventional machine ​learning algorithms, while they do improve with more data, only do so up to a certain ​point. After that, no significant improvement would be observed with more data. 

  ​That is definitely not the case with deep learning. The more data you feed it, the better ​it performs. Finally, this goes hand in hand with point number two, its computational power. ​With super powerful GPUs, we can now train very deep neural networks on tremendous amounts ​of data in a matter of hours instead of days or weeks, which is how long it used to take ​to train very deep neural networks. ​Therefore, users can experiment with different deep neural networks and test different prototypes ​in much shorter periods of time. These three factors are the main reasons behind the deep ​learning boom. In this video, you learned that ​A neural network with one hidden layer is considered a shallow neural network. 

  ​A network with many hidden layers and many neurons in each layer is considered a deep ​neural network. ​Shallow neural networks take only input as vectors. ​Deep neural networks can take raw data such as images and text. ​Even the sudden boom in the deep learning field can be attributed to three main factors ​– advancements in the field, the availability of data, and greater computational power.

•

  Imagine training a neural network in PyTorch to recognize handwritten digits. ​After the model makes a prediction, it calculates how wrong it was using a loss function. ​But how does the model know which weights to adjust to improve its predictions? ​Automatic differentiation computes gradients that show exactly how each parameter affects ​the error, allowing the model to update itself and gradually learn from its mistakes.
• 
   (00:50) The autograd system allows PyTorch to compute derivatives automatically. ​When tensors are created with gradient tracking enabled, PyTorch records every operation applied to them. ​For example, a tensor x can be created with gradient tracking enabled, and a new value ​y can be computed using operations such as squaring x and adding 3x. ​PyTorch records these operations in a computational graph, which represents how the output is ​derived from earlier calculations. ​This graph later allows PyTorch to compute derivatives automatically during the backward pass. 
  
  
• 
   (01:30) A computational graph represents how values depend on earlier computations. In the previous example, the tensor x is used to compute two operations, x² and 3x, and the results are combined to produce y. ​This relationship can be visualized as a graph, where x is the starting node, the operations ​x² and 3x form intermediate nodes, and y is the final output. ​Each node represents an operation, and the connections show how data flows between them. ​During training, PyTorch traverses this graph in reverse order to compute gradients.
  
  
• 
   (02:15) Gradient tracking allows PyTorch to monitor how tensors participate in differentiable computations. ​When a tensor is created with requires_grad=True, all operations involving that tensor are recorded. For example, if a tensor x is used to compute y = 2x + 1, PyTorch tracks how y depends on x. ​This tracking allows gradients to be computed later during model training. ​Gradient tracking is typically enabled for model parameters, such as weights and biases, ​because these values must be updated during training. 
  
  
• 
   (02:45)  ​After computing a value such as a loss, gradients are obtained by calling the backward method. ​For example, if a tensor x is used to compute an output, such as y = x² + 3x, the backward pass is performed through the computational graph. ​PyTorch then computes the derivative of y with respect to x, storing the result as the gradient of x. (03:09) This gradient represents how much the output changes with respect to the input. ​In neural networks, these gradients are used by optimization algorithms to update model parameters.
  
  
• 
   (03:20) Neural networks usually involve many parameters, meaning the loss function depends on multiple variables. ​In these cases, gradients are computed using partial derivatives. ​A partial derivative measures how a function changes with respect to one variable while ​holding other variables constant. ​For example, if an output y is computed using two variables, such as x and w, PyTorch can ​compute the derivative of y with respect to x and the derivative of y with respect to w. These partial derivatives show how each parameter contributes to the output.
  
  
• 
   (04:03) Neural networks consist of multiple layers and operations, so computing gradients through ​such structures require the chain rule. ​The chain rule states that the derivative of a composed function is obtained by multiplying ​the derivatives of intermediate functions. ​For example, an input x may pass through functions such as f(x) and then g(f(x)) to produce an output. ​During the backward pass, gradients propagate through each operation in reverse order from ​the output through g′(f(x)) and then f′(x) until reaching x. ​Autograd automatically applies the chain rule as it traverses the computational graph, allowing ​gradients to be computed efficiently even for deep neural networks with many layers. 
  
  
• 
   (04:45) In this video, you learned that differentiation helps train machine learning and deep learning ​models by guiding parameter updates. ​Models adjust their parameters to minimize a loss function using gradients. ​PyTorch uses the autograd system to record tensor operations and build a computational graph. ​The computational graph shows how outputs depend on earlier computations. ​The backward pass computes and stores gradients for tensors that track gradients. ​Partial derivatives and the chain rule allow gradients to propagate through multiple layers of a neural network.

  1. Which of the following commands would return the total number of elements contained in a tensor?

  • Answer: tensor_2d.numel()

  • Note: The .numel() method explicitly returns the total element count. .shape and .size() return the dimensions (e.g., 2x3), and .ndim returns the number of axes.

  2. When performing indexing and slicing on a 2D tensor, which of the following would you use to extract only the second row of the 2D tensor?

  • Answer: A[1,:]

  • Note: PyTorch uses zero-based indexing. The 1 targets the second row, and the : indicates that you want to include all columns in that row.

  3. Which of the following 2D tensor operations uses the dot product calculations of rows and columns rather than using element-wise multiplication?

  • Answer: Matrix multiplication

  • Note: Standard matrix multiplication relies on the dot product of rows and columns. Conversely, the Hadamard product specifically refers to element-wise multiplication.

  4. Which differentiation feature allows PyTorch to monitor how tensors participate in differentiable computations?

  • Answer: Gradient tracking

  • Note: This is the feature (enabled by setting requires_grad=True) that tells PyTorch to actively monitor and record every operation a specific tensor participates in.

  5. Which differentiation feature in PyTorch measures how a function changes with respect to one variable while holding other variables constant?

  • Answer: Partial derivatives

  • Note: This is the mathematical definition of a partial derivative. When you call .backward() on a function with multiple independent variables, PyTorch computes the partial derivative for each one.

  • Answer: By using the .ndim method

• Question 6: In PyTorch, what is the primary difference between element-wise multiplication and matrix multiplication in 2D tensors?

  • Answer: Element-wise multiplication is performed between tensors of the same size, while matrix multiplication involves dot products between rows and columns.

• Question 7: In PyTorch, what is the role of the autograd system in training neural networks?

  • Answer: The autograd system in PyTorch records all operations on tensors with gradient tracking enabled, allowing for automatic computation of gradients during the backward pass.
