Planar data classification with one hidden layer

Welcome to your week 3 programming assignment. It's time to build your first neural network, which will have a
hidden layer. You will see a big difference between this model and the one you implemented using logistic
regression.

You will learn how to:

Implement a 2-class classification neural network with a single hidden layer

Use units with a non-linear activation function, such as tanh
Compute the cross entropy loss
Implement forward and backward propagation

1 - Packages
Let's first import all the packages that you will need during this assignment.

numpy (www.numpy.org) is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.
sklearn (http://scikit-learn.org/stable/) provides simple and efficient tools for data mining and data
analysis.
matplotlib (http://matplotlib.org) is a library for plotting graphs in Python.
testCases provides some test examples to assess the correctness of your functions
planar_utils provide various useful functions used in this assignment

In [*]:

# Package imports
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from testCases_v2 import *
import sklearn
import sklearn.datasets
import sklearn.linear_model
from planar_utils import plot_decision_boundary, sigmoid, load_planar_dataset, load_extra_d

%matplotlib inline

np.random.seed(1) # set a seed so that the results are consistent

2 - Dataset
First, let's get the dataset you will work on. The following code will load a "flower" 2-class dataset into variables
X and Y.

In [*]:

X, Y = load_planar_dataset()

Visualize the dataset using matplotlib. The data looks like a "flower" with some red (label y=0) and some blue
(y=1) points. Your goal is to build a model to fit this data.

23/12/2018 Planar data classification with one hidden layer v5

In [*]:

# Visualize the data:

plt.scatter(X[0, :], X[1, :], c=Y, s=40, cmap=plt.cm.Spectral);

You have:

- a numpy-array (matrix) X that contains your features (x1, x2)

- a numpy-array (vector) Y that contains your labels (red:0, blue:1).

Lets first get a better sense of what our data is like.

Exercise: How many training examples do you have? In addition, what is the shape of the variables X and Y?

Hint: How do you get the shape of a numpy array? (help)

(https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.ndarray.shape.html)

In [*]:

### START CODE HERE ### (≈ 3 lines of code)

shape_X = X.shape
shape_Y = Y.shape
m = X.shape[1] # training set size
### END CODE HERE ###

print ('The shape of X is: ' + str(shape_X))

print ('The shape of Y is: ' + str(shape_Y))
print ('I have m = %d training examples!' % (m))

Expected Output:

shape of
(2, 400)
X

shape of
(1, 400)
Y

m 400

3 - Simple Logistic Regression

Before building a full neural network, lets first see how logistic regression performs on this problem. You can
use sklearn's built-in functions to do that. Run the code below to train a logistic regression classifier on the
dataset.

In [*]:

# Train the logistic regression classifier

clf = sklearn.linear_model.LogisticRegressionCV();
clf.fit(X.T, Y.T);

You can now plot the decision boundary of these models. Run the code below.

https://hub.coursera-notebooks.org/user/fwxnjaurublmkafifinzdh/notebooks/Week%203/Planar%20data%20classification%20with%20one%20hi… 2/19
23/12/2018 Planar data classification with one hidden layer v5

In [*]:

# Plot the decision boundary for logistic regression

plot_decision_boundary(lambda x: clf.predict(x), X, Y)
plt.title("Logistic Regression")

# Print accuracy
LR_predictions = clf.predict(X.T)
print ('Accuracy of logistic regression: %d ' % float((np.dot(Y,LR_predictions) + np.dot(1-
'% ' + "(percentage of correctly labelled datapoints)")

Expected Output:

Accuracy 47%

Interpretation: The dataset is not linearly separable, so logistic regression doesn't perform well. Hopefully a
neural network will do better. Let's try this now!

4 - Neural Network model

Logistic regression did not work well on the "flower dataset". You are going to train a Neural Network with a
single hidden layer.

Here is our model:

Mathematically:

For one example x(i) :

z[1](i)[1](i)= W [1] x(i) [1](i)
+ b[1] (1)
a = [2]tanh([1](i)z ) [2] (2)
z (i) = W[2](i) a +[2](i)b
[2](i) (3)
ŷ  = a = σ([2](i) z ) (4)
y(i)prediction = { 10 if otherwise a > 0.5 (5)
https://hub.coursera-notebooks.org/user/fwxnjaurublmkafifinzdh/notebooks/Week%203/Planar%20data%20classification%20with%20one%20hi… 3/19
23/12/2018 Planar data classification with one hidden layer v5

Given the predictions on all the examples, you can also compute the cost J as follows:
J = − m1 ∑ (y(i) log(a[2](i) ) +(1− y(i) )log(1− a[2](i) ))
m
(6)
i=0
Reminder: The general methodology to build a Neural Network is to:

1. Define the neural network structure ( # of input units, # of hidden units, et

c).
2. Initialize the model's parameters
3. Loop:
- Implement forward propagation
- Compute loss
- Implement backward propagation to get the gradients
- Update parameters (gradient descent)

You often build helper functions to compute steps 1-3 and then merge them into one function we call
nn_model(). Once you've built nn_model() and learnt the right parameters, you can make predictions on new
data.

4.1 - Defining the neural network structure

Exercise: Define three variables:

- n_x: the size of the input layer

- n_h: the size of the hidden layer (set this to 4)
- n_y: the size of the output layer

Hint: Use shapes of X and Y to find n_x and n_y. Also, hard code the hidden layer size to be 4.

In [*]:

# GRADED FUNCTION: layer_sizes

def layer_sizes(X, Y):

"""
Arguments:
X -- input dataset of shape (input size, number of examples)
Y -- labels of shape (output size, number of examples)

"""
### START CODE HERE ### (≈ 3 lines of code)

print("The size of the hidden layer is: n_h = " + str(n_h))
print("The size of the output layer is: n_y = " + str(n_y))

Expected Output (these are not the sizes you will use for your network, they are just used to assess the
function you've just coded).

n_x 5

n_h 4

n_y 2

4.2 - Initialize the model's parameters

Exercise: Implement the function initialize_parameters().

Instructions:

Make sure your parameters' sizes are right. Refer to the neural network figure above if needed.
You will initialize the weights matrices with random values.
Use: np.random.randn(a,b) * 0.01 to randomly initialize a matrix of shape (a,b).
You will initialize the bias vectors as zeros.
Use: np.zeros((a,b)) to initialize a matrix of shape (a,b) with zeros.

4.3 - The Loop

Question: Implement forward_propagation().

Instructions:

Look above at the mathematical representation of your classifier.

You can use the function sigmoid(). It is built-in (imported) in the notebook.
You can use the function np.tanh(). It is part of the numpy library.
The steps you have to implement are:
1. Retrieve each parameter from the dictionary "parameters" (which is the output of
initialize_parameters()) by using parameters[".."].
2. Implement Forward Propagation. Compute Z [1] , A[1] , Z [2] A[2]
and (the vector of all your
predictions on all the examples in the training set).
Values needed in the backpropagation are stored in "cache". The cache will be given as an input to
the backpropagation function.

Now that you have computed A[2]

(in the Python variable "A2"), which contains a[2](i) for every example, you
can compute the cost function as follows:

Using the cache computed during forward propagation, you can now implement backward propagation.

Question: Implement the function backward_propagation().

Instructions: Backpropagation is usually the hardest (most mathematical) part in deep learning. To help you,
here again is the slide from the lecture on backpropagation. You'll want to use the six equations on the right of
this slide, since you are building a vectorized implementation.

Tips:
To compute dZ1 you'll need to compute g[1]′ (Z [1] ). Since g[1] (.) is the tanh activation
function, if a = g[1] (z) then g[1] (z) = 1 − a2 . So you can compute g[1] (Z [1] ) using (1 -
′ ′
np.power(A1, 2)).

4.5 Predictions
Question: Use your model to predict by building predict(). Use forward propagation to predict results.

Reminder: predictions = yprediction = 𝟙{activation > 0.5} = { 10 if activation

otherwise
> 0.5
As an example, if you would like to set the entries of a matrix X to 0 and 1 based on a threshold you would do:
X_new = (X > threshold)

It is time to run the model and see how it performs on a planar dataset. Run the following code to test your
model with a single hidden layer of nh
hidden units.

In [*]:

# Build a model with a n_h-dimensional hidden layer

parameters = nn_model(X, Y, n_h = 4, num_iterations = 10000, print_cost=True)

# Plot the decision boundary

plot_decision_boundary(lambda x: predict(parameters, x.T), X, Y)
plt.title("Decision Boundary for hidden layer size " + str(4))

Expected Output:

Cost after iteration 9000 0.218607

23/12/2018 Planar data classification with one hidden layer v5

In [*]:

# Print accuracy
predictions = predict(parameters, X)
print ('Accuracy: %d' % float((np.dot(Y,predictions.T) + np.dot(1-Y,1-predictions.T))/float

Expected Output:

Accuracy 90%

Accuracy is really high compared to Logistic Regression. The model has learnt the leaf patterns of the flower!
Neural networks are able to learn even highly non-linear decision boundaries, unlike logistic regression.

Now, let's try out several hidden layer sizes.

4.6 - Tuning hidden layer size (optional/ungraded exercise)

Run the following code. It may take 1-2 minutes. You will observe different behaviors of the model for various
hidden layer sizes.

In [*]:

# This may take about 2 minutes to run

plt.figure(figsize=(16, 32))
hidden_layer_sizes = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 20, 50]
for i, n_h in enumerate(hidden_layer_sizes):
plt.subplot(5, 2, i+1)
plt.title('Hidden Layer of size %d' % n_h)
parameters = nn_model(X, Y, n_h, num_iterations = 5000)
plot_decision_boundary(lambda x: predict(parameters, x.T), X, Y)
predictions = predict(parameters, X)
accuracy = float((np.dot(Y,predictions.T) + np.dot(1-Y,1-predictions.T))/float(Y.size)*
print ("Accuracy for {} hidden units: {} %".format(n_h, accuracy))

Interpretation:

The larger models (with more hidden units) are able to fit the training set better, until eventually the
largest models overfit the data.
The best hidden layer size seems to be around n_h = 5. Indeed, a value around here seems to fits the
data well without also incurring noticable overfitting.
You will also learn later about regularization, which lets you use very large models (such as n_h = 50)
without much overfitting.

Optional questions:

Note: Remember to submit the assignment but clicking the blue "Submit Assignment" button at the upper-right.

Some optional/ungraded questions that you can explore if you wish:

What happens when you change the tanh activation for a sigmoid activation or a ReLU activation?
Play with the learning_rate. What happens?
What if we change the dataset? (See part 5 below!)

https://hub.coursera-notebooks.org/user/fwxnjaurublmkafifinzdh/notebooks/Week%203/Planar%20data%20classification%20with%20one%20h… 18/19
23/12/2018 Planar data classification with one hidden layer v5

You've learnt to:

Build a complete neural network with a hidden layer

Make a good use of a non-linear unit
Implemented forward propagation and backpropagation, and trained a neural network
See the impact of varying the hidden layer size, including overfitting.

Nice work!

5) Performance on other datasets

If you want, you can rerun the whole notebook (minus the dataset part) for each of the following datasets.

In [*]:

# Datasets
noisy_circles, noisy_moons, blobs, gaussian_quantiles, no_structure = load_extra_datasets()

datasets = {"noisy_circles": noisy_circles,

"noisy_moons": noisy_moons,
"blobs": blobs,
"gaussian_quantiles": gaussian_quantiles}

### START CODE HERE ### (choose your dataset)

dataset = "noisy_moons"
### END CODE HERE ###

X, Y = datasets[dataset]
X, Y = X.T, Y.reshape(1, Y.shape[0])

# make blobs binary

if dataset == "blobs":
Y = Y%2

# Visualize the data

plt.scatter(X[0, :], X[1, :], c=Y, s=40, cmap=plt.cm.Spectral);

Congrats on finishing this Programming Assignment!
