Setup¶
This a GPU-Free tutorial!
⚠ Experimental LLM-enhanced tutorial ⚠
This notebook includes Neuromatch’s experimental Chatify 🤖 functionality. The Chatify notebook extension adds support for a large language model-based “coding tutor” to the materials. The tutor provides automatically generated text to help explain any code cell in this notebook.
Note that using Chatify may cause breaking changes and/or provide incorrect or misleading information. If you wish to proceed by installing and enabling the Chatify extension, you should run the next two code blocks (hidden by default). If you do not want to use this experimental version of the Neuromatch materials, please use the stable materials instead.
To use the Chatify helper, insert the %%explain magic command at the start of any code cell and then run it (shift + enter) to access an interface for receiving LLM-based assitance. You can then select different options from the dropdown menus depending on what sort of assitance you want. To disable Chatify and run the code block as usual, simply delete the %%explain command and re-run the cell.
Note that, by default, all of Chatify’s responses are generated locally. This often takes several minutes per response. Once you click the “Submit request” button, just be patient– stuff is happening even if you can’t see it right away!
Thanks for giving Chatify a try! Love it? Hate it? Either way, we’d love to hear from you about your Chatify experience! Please consider filling out our brief survey to provide feedback and help us make Chatify more awesome!
Run the next two cells to install and configure Chatify…
%pip install -q davos
import davos
davos.config.suppress_stdout = True
Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

Section 0: Prelude¶
Time estimate: ~10 mins
A note on the exercises: Most of the exercises are marked Optional(Bonus) and should only read through them if you are in a tight timeline. Therefore we would not rely on the implementation of the exercises. If necessary, you can look at the Helper Functions cell above to find the functions and classes used in this tutorial.
Throughout this tutorial, we will use a linear neural net with a single hidden layer. We have also excluded bias from the layers. Please note that the forward loop returns the hidden activation, besides the network output (prediction). we will need it in section 3.

Complete the function ex_initializer_, such that the weights are sampled from the following distribution:
where \(\gamma\) is the initialization scale, \(n_{in}\) and \(n_{out}\) are respectively input and output dimensions of the layer. the Underscore (“_”) in ex_initializer_ and other functions, denotes “in-place” operation.
important note: Since we did not include bias in the layers, the model.parameters() would only return the weights in each layer.

So far, depth just seems to slow down the learning. And we know that a single nonlinear hidden layer (given enough number of neurons and infinite training samples) has the potential to approximate any function. So it seems fair to ask: What is depth good for?
One reason can be that shallow nonlinear neural networks hardly meet their true potential in practice. In the contrast, deep neural nets are often surprisingly powerful in learning complex functions without sacrificing generalization. A core intuition behind deep learning is that deep nets derive their power through learning internal representations. How does this work? To address representation learning, we have to go beyond the 1D chain.
For this and the next couple of exercises, we use syntactically generated hierarchically structured data through a branching diffusion process (see this reference for more details).
The inputs to the network are labels (i.e. names), while the outputs are the features (i.e. attributes). For example, for the label “Goldfish”, the network has to learn all the (artificially created) features, such as “can swim”, “is cold-blooded”, “has fins”, and more. Given that we are training on hierarchically structured data, network could also learn the tree structure, that Goldfish and Tuna have rather similar features, and Robin has more in common with Tuna, compared to Rose.

Try finding the optimal \(\eta\) and \(\gamma\) using the following widgets. More specifically, try large \(\gamma\) and see if we can recover the bumps by tuning the \(\eta\).

In this section, we intend to study the learning (training) dynamics we just saw. First, we should know that a linear neural network is performing sequential matrix multiplications, which can be simplified to:
where \(L\) denotes the number of layers in our network.
Saxe et al. (2013) showed that to analyze and to understanding the nonlinear learning dynamics of a deep LNN, we can use Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to decompose the \(\mathbf{W}_{tot}\) into orthogonal vectors, where orthogonality of the vectors would ensure their “individuality (independence)”. This means we can break a deep wide LNN into multiple deep narrow LNN, so their activity is untangled from each other.
A Quick intro to SVD
Any real-valued matix \(A\) (yes, ANY) can be decomposed (factorized) to 3 matrices:
where \(U\) is an orthogonal matrix, \(\Sigma\) is a diagonal matrix, and \(V\) is again an orthogonal matrix. The diagonal elements of \(\Sigma\) are called singular values.
The main difference between SVD and EigenValue Decomposition (EVD), is that EVD requires \(A\) to be squared and does not guarantee the eigenvectors to be orthogonal.
We strongly recommend the Singular Value Decomposition (the SVD) by the amazing Gilbert Strang, if you would like to learn more.
Coding Exercise 2: SVD (Optional)¶
The goal is to perform the SVD on \(\mathbf{W}_{tot}\) in every epoch, and record the singular values (modes) during the training.
Complete the function ex_net_svd, by first calculating the \(\mathbf{W}_{tot} = \prod_{i=1}^{L}{\mathbf{W}_{i}}\) and finally performing SVD on the \(\mathbf{W}_{tot}\). Please use the PyTorch torch.svd instead of NumPy np.linalg.svd.

In EigenValue decomposition, the amount of variance explained by eigenvectors is proportional to the corresponding eigenvalues. What about the SVD? We see that the gradient descent guides the network to first learn the features that carry more information (have higher singular value)!

The previous section ended with an interesting remark. SVD helped to break our deep “wide” linear neural net into 8 deep “narrow” linear neural nets.
The first narrow net (highest singular value) converges fastest, while the last four narrow nets, converge almost simultaneously and have the smallest singular values. Can it be that the narrow net with larger mode is learning the difference between “living things” and “objects”, while another narrow net with smaller mode is learning the difference between Fish and Birds? how could we check this hypothesis?
Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) is an approach that could help us understand the internal representation of our network. The main idea is that the activity of hidden units (neurons) in the network must be similar when the network is presented with similar input. For our dataset (hierarchically structured data), we expect the activity of neurons in the hidden layer to be more similar for Tuna and Canary, and less similar for Tuna and Oak.
For similarity measure, we can use the good old dot (scalar) product, which is also called cosine similarity. For calculating the dot product between multiple vectors (which would be our case), we can simply use matrix multiplication. Therefore the Representational Similarity Matrix for multiple-input (batch) activity could be calculated as follow:
where \(\mathbf{H} = \mathbf{X} \mathbf{W_1}\) is the activity of hidden neurons for a given batch \(\mathbf{X}\).
Coding Exercise 3: RSA (Optional)¶
The task is simple. We would need to measure the similarity between hidden layer activities \(~\mathbf{h} = \mathbf{x} ~\mathbf{W_1}\)) for every input \(\mathbf{x}\).
If we perform RSA in every iteration, we could also see the evolution of representation learning.
def ex_net_rsm(h):
"""

h: torch.Tensor

Now we can train the model while recording the losses, modes, and RSMs at every iteration. First, use the epoch slider to explore the evolution of RSM without changing default lr (\(\eta\)) and initialization (\(\gamma\)). Then, as we did before, set \(\eta\) and \(\gamma\) to larger values to see whether you can retrieve the sequential structured learning of representations.

Let’s take a moment to analyze this more. A deep neural net is learning the representations, rather than a naive mapping (look-up table). This is thought to be the reason for deep neural nets supreme generalization and transfer learning ability. Unsurprisingly, neural nets with no hidden layer are incapable of representation learning, even with extremely small initialization.

Let’s recall the training loss curves. There was often a long plateau (where the weights are stuck at a saddle point), followed by a sudden drop. For very deep complex neural nets, such plateaus can take hours of training, and we are often tempted to stop the training, because we believe it is “as good as it gets”! Another side effect of “immature interruption” of training is the network finding (learning) illusory correlations.
To better understand this, let’s do the next demonstration and exercise.
Demonstration: Illusory Correlations¶
Our original dataset has 4 animals: Canary, Robin, Goldfish, and Tuna. These animals all have bones. Therefore if we include a “has bone” feature, the network would learn it at the second level (i.e. second bump, second mode convergence), when it learns the animal-plants distinction.
What if the dataset has Shark instead of Goldfish. Sharks don’t have bones (their skeletons are made of cartilaginous, which is much lighter than true bone and more flexible). Then we will have a feature which is True (i.e. +1) for Tuna, Robin, and Canary, but False (i.e. -1) for all the plants and the shark! Let’s see what the network does.
First, we add the new feature to the targets. We then start training our LNN and in every epoch, record the network prediction for “sharks having bones”.
# Sampling new data from the tree
tree_labels, tree_features = generate_hsd()
# Replacing Goldfish with Shark
item_names = ['Shark', 'Tuna', 'Robin', 'Canary',
'Rose', 'Daisy', 'Pine', 'Oak']
# Index of label to record
illusion_idx = 0 # Shark is the first element
# The new feature (has bones) vector
new_feature = [-1, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1]
its_label = 'has_bones'
# Adding feature has_bones to the feature array
tree_features = add_feature(tree_features, new_feature)
# Plotting
plot_tree_data(item_names, tree_features, its_label)
You can see the new feature shown in the last column of the plot above.
Now we can train the network on the new data, and record the network prediction (output) for Shark (indexed 0) label and “has bone” feature (last feature, indexed -1), during the training.
Here is the snippet from the training loop that keeps track of network prediction for illusory_ith label and last (-1) feature:
pred_ij = predictions.detach()[illusory_i, -1]
Make sure you execute this cell to train the network and plot¶
#@markdown #### Make sure you execute this cell to train the network and plot

label_tensor = torch.tensor(tree_labels).float()

lr = 100.0 # Learning rate
gamma = 1e-12 # Initialization scale
n_epochs = 250 # Number of epochs
dim_input = 8 # Input dimension = `label_tensor.size(1)`
dim_hidden = 30 # Hidden neurons
dim_output = feature_tensor.size(1)
# Model instantiation

# Weights re-initialization
initializer_(dlnn_model, gamma)
# Training
_, modes, _, ill_predictions = train(dlnn_model,
label_tensor,
feature_tensor,
n_epochs=n_epochs,

illusory_i=illusion_idx)
# Label for the plot
ill_label = f"Prediction for {item_names[illusion_idx]} {its_label}"
# Plotting
plot_ills_sv_twin(ill_predictions, modes, ill_label)
It seems that the network starts by learning an “illusory correlation” that sharks have bones, and in later epochs, as it learns deeper representations, it can see (learn) beyond the illusory correlation. This is important to remember that we never presented the network with any data saying that sharks have bones.
Exercise 4: Illusory Correlations¶
This exercise is just for you to explore the idea of illusory correlations. Think of medical, natural, or possibly social illusory correlations which can test the learning power of deep linear neural nets.
important notes: the generated data is independent of tree labels, therefore the names are just for convenience.
Here is our example for Non-human Living things do not speak. The lines marked by {edit} are for you to change in your example.

Section 5.1: Linear Regression¶
Generally, regression refers to a set of methods for modeling the mapping (relationship) between one (or more) independent variable(s) (i.e., features) and one (or more) dependent variable(s) (i.e., labels). For example, if we want to examine the relative impacts of calendar date, GPS coordinates, and time of the say (the independent variables) on air temperature (the dependent variable). On the other hand, regression can be used for predictive analysis. Thus the independent variables are also called predictors. When the model contains more than one predictor, then the method is called multiple regression, and if it contains more than one dependent variable called multivariate regression. Regression problems pop up whenever we want to predict a numerical (usually continuous) value.
The independent variables are collected in vector \(\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^M\), where \(M\) denotes the number of independent variables, while the dependent variables are collected in vector \(\mathbf{y} \in \mathbb{R}^N\), where \(N\) denotes the number of dependent variables. And the mapping between them is represented by the weight matrix \(\mathbf{W} \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times M}\) and a bias vector \(\mathbf{b} \in \mathbb{R}^{N}\) (generalizing to affine mappings).
The multivariate regression model can be written as:
or it can be written in matrix format as:
Section 5.2: Vectorized regression¶
Linear regression can be simply extended to multi-samples (\(D\)) input-output mapping, which we can collect in a matrix \(\mathbf{X} \in \mathbb{R}^{M \times D}\), sometimes called the design matrix. The sample dimension also shows up in the output matrix \(\mathbf{Y} \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times D}\). Thus, linear regression takes the following form:
where matrix \(\mathbf{W} \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times M}\) and the vector \(\mathbf{b} \in \mathbb{R}^{N}\) (broadcasted over sample dimension) are the desired parameters to find.
Section 5.3: Analytical Linear Regression¶
Linear regression is a relatively simple optimization problem. Unlike most other models that we will see in this course, linear regression for mean squared loss can be solved analytically.
For \(D\) samples (batch size), \(\mathbf{X} \in \mathbb{R}^{M \times D}\), and \(\mathbf{Y} \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times D}\), the goal of linear regression is to find \(\mathbf{W} \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times M}\) such that:
Given the Squared Error loss function, we have:
So, using matrix notation, the optimization problem is given by:
To solve the minimization problem, we can simply set the derivative of the loss with respect to \(\mathbf{W}\) to zero.
Assuming that \(\mathbf{X}\mathbf{X}^{\top}\) is full-rank, and thus it is invertible, we can write:
Note: The \(||\cdot||\) denotes the norm 2 or the Euclidean norm of a vector.

Demonstration: Linear Regression vs. DLNN¶
