Feature operator parameters

Penguin learning project

The project uses 342 complete Palmer penguin records: 240 training-pool and 102 held-out rows. The selected training rows determine feature scaling and model parameters. Source CSV

This project trains weights with softmax, unlike the homepage lab, which uses nearest species averages. Same penguin measurements; different classification methods. Predictions can differ.

Features · Transform inputs into features used by a rule.

The project scales bill and flipper measurements using training-row means and scales; its feature vector has two entries.

Consider this concept alongside the project; its source assumptions may differ. These observations do not prove a theorem.

Input: 12 × 2; Held-out evaluation: 102 · #58 · 40.6 mm, 193 mm. Known answer: Adélie; Prediction: Adélie · [≈0.7383, ≈0.2444, ≈0.01737].

Used in these source sections: 7.2 A few building blocks at a time

A feature layer uses a dictionary D, a bias b and an activation ψ.

These ingredients define the layer transformation.

Source formula example

DD

illustration · This uses a small identity dictionary and ReLU; the source considers structured convolutional dictionaries and its specified activation.

Symbols

DD
A dictionary matrix.
bb
A bias vector.
ψψ
A layer activation.

Source formula example

This source example uses its own inputs and assumptions. Editing it does not change the project.

Edit a value or the code, then run the example. This is a finite demonstration, not a proof of the paper’s theorem.

This example’s data flow

Initial values in code

  • D = [ [1, 0], [0, 1], ]
  • x = [2, -1]
  • b = [0, 0]

Calculated here

Result expression: { D, x, b, pre, output: pre.map((v) => Math.max(0, v)) }

  • pre = D.map((row, i) => row.reduce((s, v, j) => s + v * x[j], b[i])) Uses: D, x, b

Returns

Example result
D
array (2 items): [array (2 items): [1, 0], array (2 items): [0, 1]]
x
array (2 items): [2, -1]
b
array (2 items): [0, 0]
pre
array (2 items): [2, -1]
output
array (2 items): [2, 0]

Read numbers from input and return the result. JavaScript basics.
