We revisit now our simple linear regression example with a linear polynomial.
Ideally we want our cost/loss function to be convex(concave).
<p>
First we give the definition of a convex set: A set \( C \) in
\( \mathbb{R}^n \) is said to be convex if, for all \( x \) and \( y \) in \( C \) and
all \( t \in (0,1) \) , the point \( (1 &#8722; t)x + ty \) also belongs to
C. Geometrically this means that every point on the line segment
connecting \( x \) and \( y \) is in \( C \) as discussed below.

<b>Convex function</b>: Let \( X \subset \mathbb{R}^n \) be a convex set. Assume that the function \( f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is continuous, then \( f \) is said to be convex if $$f(tx_1 + (1-t)x_2) \leq tf(x_1) + (1-t)f(x_2) $$ for all \( x_1, x_2 \in X \) and for all \( t \in [0,1] \). If \( \leq \) is replaced with a strict inequaltiy in the definition, we demand \( x_1 \neq x_2 \) and \( t\in(0,1) \) then \( f \) is said to be strictly convex. For a single variable function, convexity means that if you draw a straight line connecting \( f(x_1) \) and \( f(x_2) \), the value of the function on the interval \( [x_1,x_2] \) is always below the line as illustrated below.

<h2 id="___sec7" class="anchor">Conditions on convex functions </h2>
<p>
Ideally we want our cost/loss function to be convex(concave).
In the following we state first and second-order conditions which
ensures convexity of a function \( f \). We write \( D_f \) to denote the
domain of \( f \), i.e the subset of \( R^n \) where \( f \) is defined. For more
details and proofs we refer to: <a href="http://stanford.edu/boyd/cvxbook/, 2004" target="_self">S. Boyd and L. Vandenberghe. Convex Optimization. Cambridge University Press</a>.
<p>
First we give the definition of a convex set: A set \( C \) in
\( \mathbb{R}^n \) is said to be convex if, for all \( x \) and \( y \) in \( C \) and
all \( t \in (0,1) \) , the point \( (1 &#8722; t)x + ty \) also belongs to
C. Geometrically this means that every point on the line segment
connecting \( x \) and \( y \) is in \( C \) as discussed below.
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-body">
<p> <!-- subsequent paragraphs come in larger fonts, so start with a paragraph -->
Suppose \( f \) is differentiable (i.e \( \nabla f(x) \) is well defined for
all \( x \) in the domain of \( f \)). Then \( f \) is convex if and only if \( D_f \)
is a convex set and $$f(y) \geq f(x) + \nabla f(x)^T (y-x) $$ holds
for all \( x,y \in D_f \). This condition means that for a convex function
the first order Taylor expansion (right hand side above) at any point
a global under estimator of the function. To convince yourself you can
make a drawing of \( f(x) = x^2+1 \) and draw the tangent line to \( f(x) \) and
note that it is always below the graph.
</div>
</div>
<p>
The convex subsets of \( \mathbb{R} \) are the intervals of
\( \mathbb{R} \). Examples of convex sets of \( \mathbb{R}^2 \) are the
regular polygons (triangles, rectangles, pentagons, etc...).
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-body">
<p> <!-- subsequent paragraphs come in larger fonts, so start with a paragraph -->
Assume that \( f \) is twice
differentiable, i.e the Hessian matrix exists at each point in
\( D_f \). Then \( f \) is convex if and only if \( D_f \) is a convex set and its
Hessian is positive semi-definite for all \( x\in D_f \). For a
single-variable function this reduces to \( f''(x) \geq 0 \). Geometrically this means that \( f \) has nonnegative curvature
everywhere.

This condition is particularly useful since it gives us an procedure for determining if the function under consideration is convex, apart from using the definition.

<b>Convex function</b>: Let \( X \subset \mathbb{R}^n \) be a convex set. Assume that the function \( f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is continuous, then \( f \) is said to be convex if $$f(tx_1 + (1-t)x_2) \leq tf(x_1) + (1-t)f(x_2) $$ for all \( x_1, x_2 \in X \) and for all \( t \in [0,1] \). If \( \leq \) is replaced with a strict inequaltiy in the definition, we demand \( x_1 \neq x_2 \) and \( t\in(0,1) \) then \( f \) is said to be strictly convex. For a single variable function, convexity means that if you draw a straight line connecting \( f(x_1) \) and \( f(x_2) \), the value of the function on the interval \( [x_1,x_2] \) is always below the line as illustrated below.
The next result is of great importance to us and the reason why we are
going on about convex functions. In machine learning we frequently
have to minimize a loss/cost function in order to find the best
parameters for the model we are considering.
<p>
Ideally we want the
global minimum (for high-dimensional models it is hard to know
if we have local or global minimum). However, if the cost/loss function
is convex the following result provides invaluable information:
<p>
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-body">
<p> <!-- subsequent paragraphs come in larger fonts, so start with a paragraph -->
Consider the problem of finding \( x \in \mathbb{R}^n \) such that \( f(x) \)
is minimal, where \( f \) is convex and differentiable. Then, any point
\( x^* \) that satisfies \( \nabla f(x^*) = 0 \) is a global minimum.
</div>
</div>
<p>
This result means that if we know that the cost/loss function is convex and we are able to find a minimum, we are guaranteed that it is a global minimum.

In the following we state first and second-order conditions which
ensures convexity of a function \( f \). We write \( D_f \) to denote the
domain of \( f \), i.e the subset of \( R^n \) where \( f \) is defined. For more
details and proofs we refer to: <a href="http://stanford.edu/boyd/cvxbook/, 2004" target="_self">S. Boyd and L. Vandenberghe. Convex Optimization. Cambridge University Press</a>.
<ol>
<li> Show that \( f(x)=x^2 \) is convex for \( x \in \mathbb{R} \) using the definition of convexity. Hint: If you re-write the definition, \( f \) is convex if the following holds for all \( x,y \in D_f \) and any \( \lambda \in [0,1] \) $\lambda f(x)+(1-\lambda)f(y)-f(\lambda x + (1-\lambda) y ) \geq 0$.</li>
<li> Using the second order condition show that the following functions are convex on the specified domain.</li>

Suppose \( f \) is differentiable (i.e \( \nabla f(x) \) is well defined for
all \( x \) in the domain of \( f \)). Then \( f \) is convex if and only if \( D_f \)
is a convex set and $$f(y) \geq f(x) + \nabla f(x)^T (y-x) $$ holds
for all \( x,y \in D_f \). This condition means that for a convex function
the first order Taylor expansion (right hand side above) at any point
a global under estimator of the function. To convince yourself you can
make a drawing of f(x) = x^2+1 and draw the tangent line to \( f(x) \) and
note that it is always below the graph.

This condition is particularly useful since it gives us an procedure for determining if the function under consideration is convex, apart from using the definition.
Using the definition of convexity, try to show that a function satisfying the properties above is convex (the third condition is not needed to show this).

have to minimize a loss/cost function in order to find the best
parameters for the model we are considering.
We will use linear regression as a case study for the gradient descent
methods. Linear regression is a great test case for the gradient
descent methods discussed in the lectures since it has several
desirable properties such as:
<p>
Ideally we want the
global minimum (for high-dimensional models it is hard to know
if we have local or global minimum). However, if the cost/loss function
is convex the following result provides invaluable information:
<ol>
<li> An analytical solution (recall homework set 1).</li>
<li> The gradient can be computed analytically.</li>
<li> The cost function is convex which guarantees that gradient descent converges for small enough learning rates</li>
</ol>

Consider the problem of finding \( x \in \mathbb{R}^n \) such that \( f(x) \)
is minimal, where \( f \) is convex and differentiable. Then, any point
\( x^* \) that satisfies \( \nabla f(x^*) = 0 \) is a global minimum.
</div>
</div>
We revisit the example from homework set 1 where we had
$$
y_i = 5x_i^2 + 0.1\xi_i, \ i=1,\cdots,100
$$
with \( x_i \in [0,1] \) chosen randomly with a uniform distribution. Additionally \( \xi_i \) represents stochastic noise chosen according to a normal distribution \( \cal {N}(0,1) \).
The linear regression model is given by
$$
h_\beta(x) = \hat{y} = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x,
$$
<p>
This result means that if we know that the cost/loss function is convex and we are able to find a minimum, we are guaranteed that it is a global minimum.
such that
$$
\hat{y}_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i.

<li> Using the second order condition show that the following functions are convex on the specified domain.</li>

Let \( \mathbf{y} = (y_1,\cdots,y_n)^T \), \( \mathbf{\hat{y}} = (\hat{y}_1,\cdots,\hat{y}_n)^T \) and \( \beta = (\beta_0, \beta_1)^T \)

It is convenient to write \( \mathbf{\hat{y}} = X\beta \) where \( X \in \mathbb{R}^{100 \times 2} \) is the design matrix given by
$$
X \equiv \begin{bmatrix}
1 &amp; x_1 \\
\vdots &amp; \vdots \\
1 &amp; x_{100} &amp; \\
\end{bmatrix}.

<li> Let \( f(x) = x^2 \) and \( g(x) = e^x \). Show that \( f(g(x)) \) and \( g(f(x)) \) is convex for \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). Also show that if \( f(x) \) is any convex function than \( h(x) = e^{f(x)} \) is convex.</li>
<li> A norm is any function that satisfy the following properties</li>
The loss function is given by
$$
C(\beta) = ||X\beta-\mathbf{y}||^2 = ||X\beta||^2 - 2 \mathbf{y}^T X\beta + ||\mathbf{y}||^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{100} (\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i)^2 - 2 y_i (\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i) + y_i^2

<li> \( f(x) \leq 0 \) for all \( x \in \mathbb{R}^n \) with equality if and only if \( x = 0 \)</li>
</ul>
</ol>
Using the definition of convexity, try to show that a function satisfying the properties above is convex (the third condition is not needed to show this).

<p>
Let \( \mathbf{y} = (y_1,\cdots,y_n)^T \), \( \mathbf{\hat{y}} = (\hat{y}_1,\cdots,\hat{y}_n)^T \) and \( \beta = (\beta_0, \beta_1)^T \)
<p>
t is convenient to write \( \mathbf{\hat{y}} = X\beta \) where \( X \in \mathbb{R}^{100 \times 2} \) is the design matrix given by
<h2 id="___sec13" class="anchor">The Hessian matrix </h2>
The Hessian matrix of \( C(\beta) \) is given by
$$
\begin{equation}
X \equiv \begin{bmatrix}
1 &amp; x_1 \\
\vdots &amp; \vdots \\
1 &amp; x_{100} &amp; \\
\end{bmatrix}.
\tag{1}
\end{equation}
\hat{H} \equiv \begin{bmatrix}
\frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_0^2} &amp; \frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_0 \partial \beta_1} \\
\frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_0 \partial \beta_1} &amp; \frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_1^2} &amp; \\
\end{bmatrix} = 2X^T X.
$$
The loss function is given by
$$
C(\beta) = ||X\beta-\mathbf{y}||^2 = ||X\beta||^2 - 2 \mathbf{y}^T X\beta + ||\mathbf{y}||^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{100} (\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i)^2 - 2 y_i (\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i) + y_i^2
$$
and we want to find \( \beta \) such that \( C(\beta) \) is minimized.
This result implies that \( C(\beta) \) is a convex function since the matrix \( X^T X \) always is positive semi-definite.

<p>
Computing \( \partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_0 \) and \( \partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_1 \) we can show that the gradient can be written as
We can now write a program that minimizes \( C(\beta) \) using the gradient descent method with a constant learning rate \( \gamma \) according to
$$
\nabla_\beta C(\beta) = (\partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_0, \partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_1)^T = 2\begin{bmatrix} \sum_{i=1}^{100} \left(\beta_0+\beta_1x_i-y_i\right) \\
\sum_{i=1}^{100}\left( x_i (\beta_0+\beta_1x_i)-y_ix_i\right) \\
\end{bmatrix} = 2X^T(X\beta - \mathbf{y}),
\beta_{k+1} = \beta_k - \gamma \nabla_\beta C(\beta_k), \ k=0,1,\cdots
$$
where \( X \) is the design matrix defined above.
<p>
We can use the expression we computed for the gradient and let use a
\( \beta_0 \) be chosen randomly and let \( \gamma = 0.001 \). Stop iterating
when \( ||\nabla_\beta C(\beta_k) || \leq \epsilon = 10^{-8} \).
<p>
And finally we can compare our solution for \( \beta \) with the analytic result given by
\( \beta= (X^TX)^{-1} X^T \mathbf{y} \).

We can now write a program that minimizes \( C(\beta) \) using the gradient descent method with a constant learning rate \( \gamma \) according to
$$
\beta_{k+1} = \beta_k - \gamma \nabla_\beta C(\beta_k), \ k=0,1,\cdots
$$
<p>
We can use the expression we computed for the gradient and let use a
\( \beta_0 \) be chosen randomly and let \( \gamma = 0.001 \). Stop iterating
when \( ||\nabla_\beta C(\beta_k) || &lt; \epsilon = 10^{-8} \).
<p>
And finally we can compare our solution for \( \beta \) with the analytic result given by
\( \beta= (X^TX)^{-1} X^T \mathbf{y} \).

@@ -199,8 +199,8 @@ Taking the gradient only on a subset of the data has two important
benefits. First, it introduces randomness which decreases the chance
that our opmization scheme gets stuck in a local minima. Second, if
the size of the minibatches are small relative to the number of
datapoints (\( M &lt; n \)), the computation of the gradient is much
cheaper since we sum over the datapoints in the k-th minibatch and not
datapoints (\( M < n \)), the computation of the gradient is much
cheaper since we sum over the datapoints in the \( k-th \) minibatch and not

We revisit now our simple linear regression example with a linear polynomial.
Ideally we want our cost/loss function to be convex(concave).
<p>
First we give the definition of a convex set: A set \( C \) in
\( \mathbb{R}^n \) is said to be convex if, for all \( x \) and \( y \) in \( C \) and
all \( t \in (0,1) \) , the point \( (1 &#8722; t)x + ty \) also belongs to
C. Geometrically this means that every point on the line segment
connecting \( x \) and \( y \) is in \( C \) as discussed below.
<p>
The convex subsets of \( \mathbb{R} \) are the intervals of
\( \mathbb{R} \). Examples of convex sets of \( \mathbb{R}^2 \) are the
regular polygons (triangles, rectangles, pentagons, etc...).

We revisit now our simple linear regression example with a linear polynomial.
Ideally we want our cost/loss function to be convex(concave).
<p>
First we give the definition of a convex set: A set \( C \) in
\( \mathbb{R}^n \) is said to be convex if, for all \( x \) and \( y \) in \( C \) and
all \( t \in (0,1) \) , the point \( (1 &#8722; t)x + ty \) also belongs to
C. Geometrically this means that every point on the line segment
connecting \( x \) and \( y \) is in \( C \) as discussed below.

\( \mathbb{R} \). Examples of convex sets of \( \mathbb{R}^2 \) are the

<b>Convex function</b>: Let \( X \subset \mathbb{R}^n \) be a convex set. Assume that the function \( f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is continuous, then \( f \) is said to be convex if $$f(tx_1 + (1-t)x_2) \leq tf(x_1) + (1-t)f(x_2) $$ for all \( x_1, x_2 \in X \) and for all \( t \in [0,1] \). If \( \leq \) is replaced with a strict inequaltiy in the definition, we demand \( x_1 \neq x_2 \) and \( t\in(0,1) \) then \( f \) is said to be strictly convex. For a single variable function, convexity means that if you draw a straight line connecting \( f(x_1) \) and \( f(x_2) \), the value of the function on the interval \( [x_1,x_2] \) is always below the line as illustrated below.

<h2 id="___sec7">Conditions on convex functions </h2>
<p>
In the following we state first and second-order conditions which
ensures convexity of a function \( f \). We write \( D_f \) to denote the
domain of \( f \), i.e the subset of \( R^n \) where \( f \) is defined. For more
details and proofs we refer to: <a href="http://stanford.edu/boyd/cvxbook/, 2004" target="_blank">S. Boyd and L. Vandenberghe. Convex Optimization. Cambridge University Press</a>.
<p>
<div class="alert alert-block alert-block alert-text-normal">
<b>First order condition.</b>
<p>
Suppose \( f \) is differentiable (i.e \( \nabla f(x) \) is well defined for
all \( x \) in the domain of \( f \)). Then \( f \) is convex if and only if \( D_f \)
is a convex set and $$f(y) \geq f(x) + \nabla f(x)^T (y-x) $$ holds
for all \( x,y \in D_f \). This condition means that for a convex function
the first order Taylor expansion (right hand side above) at any point
a global under estimator of the function. To convince yourself you can
make a drawing of \( f(x) = x^2+1 \) and draw the tangent line to \( f(x) \) and
note that it is always below the graph.
</div>
<p>
<div class="alert alert-block alert-block alert-text-normal">
<b>Second order condition.</b>
<p>
Assume that \( f \) is twice
differentiable, i.e the Hessian matrix exists at each point in
\( D_f \). Then \( f \) is convex if and only if \( D_f \) is a convex set and its
Hessian is positive semi-definite for all \( x\in D_f \). For a
single-variable function this reduces to \( f''(x) \geq 0 \). Geometrically this means that \( f \) has nonnegative curvature
everywhere.

This condition is particularly useful since it gives us an procedure for determining if the function under consideration is convex, apart from using the definition.

The next result is of great importance to us and the reason why we are
going on about convex functions. In machine learning we frequently
have to minimize a loss/cost function in order to find the best
parameters for the model we are considering.
<p>
Ideally we want the
global minimum (for high-dimensional models it is hard to know
if we have local or global minimum). However, if the cost/loss function
is convex the following result provides invaluable information:
<p>
<div class="alert alert-block alert-block alert-text-normal">
<b>Any minimum is global for convex functions.</b>
<p>
Consider the problem of finding \( x \in \mathbb{R}^n \) such that \( f(x) \)
is minimal, where \( f \) is convex and differentiable. Then, any point
\( x^* \) that satisfies \( \nabla f(x^*) = 0 \) is a global minimum.
</div>
<p>
This result means that if we know that the cost/loss function is convex and we are able to find a minimum, we are guaranteed that it is a global minimum.

The linear regression model is given by
$$

<h2 id="___sec9">Conditions on convex functions </h2>
<p>
In the following we state first and second-order conditions which
ensures convexity of a function \( f \). We write \( D_f \) to denote the
domain of \( f \), i.e the subset of \( R^n \) where \( f \) is defined. For more
details and proofs we refer to: <a href="http://stanford.edu/boyd/cvxbook/, 2004" target="_blank">S. Boyd and L. Vandenberghe. Convex Optimization. Cambridge University Press</a>.

<div class="alert alert-block alert-block alert-text-normal">
<b>First order condition.</b>
<p>
Suppose \( f \) is differentiable (i.e \( \nabla f(x) \) is well defined for
all \( x \) in the domain of \( f \)). Then \( f \) is convex if and only if \( D_f \)
is a convex set and $$f(y) \geq f(x) + \nabla f(x)^T (y-x) $$ holds
for all \( x,y \in D_f \). This condition means that for a convex function

make a drawing of f(x) = x^2+1 and draw the tangent line to \( f(x) \) and
note that it is always below the graph.

<div class="alert alert-block alert-block alert-text-normal">
<b>Second order condition.</b>
<p>
Assume that \( f \) is twice
differentiable, i.e the Hessian matrix exists at each point in
\( D_f \). Then \( f \) is convex if and only if \( D_f \) is a convex set and its
Hessian is positive semi-definite for all \( x\in D_f \). For a
single-variable function this reduces to \( f''(x) \geq
0 \). Geometrically this means that \( f \) has nonnegative curvature
everywhere.

The next result is of great importance to us and the reason why we are
going on about convex functions. In machine learning we frequently
have to minimize a loss/cost function in order to find the best
parameters for the model we are considering.
<p>
Ideally we want the
global minimum (for high-dimensional models it is hard to know
if we have local or global minimum). However, if the cost/loss function
is convex the following result provides invaluable information:
<p>

<b>Any minimum is global for convex functions.</b>

Consider the problem of finding \( x \in \mathbb{R}^n \) such that \( f(x) \)
is minimal, where \( f \) is convex and differentiable. Then, any point
\( x^* \) that satisfies \( \nabla f(x^*) = 0 \) is a global minimum.

We will use linear regression as a case study for the gradient descent

<ol>
<li> An analytical solution (recall homework set 1).</li>
<li> The gradient can be computed analytically.</li>
<li> The cost function is convex which guarantees that gradient descent converges for small enough learning rates</li>
</ol>

$$
y_i = 5x_i^2 + 0.1\xi_i, \ i=1,\cdots,100
$$
with \( x_i \in [0,1] \) chosen randomly with a uniform distribution. Additionally \( \xi_i \) represents stochastic noise chosen according to a normal distribution \( \cal {N}(0,1) \).
The linear regression model is given by
$$
h_\beta(x) = \hat{y} = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x,
$$
such that
$$
\hat{y}_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i.

t is convenient to write \( \mathbf{\hat{y}} = X\beta \) where \( X \in \mathbb{R}^{100 \times 2} \) is the design matrix given by

The loss function is given by
$$
C(\beta) = ||X\beta-\mathbf{y}||^2 = ||X\beta||^2 - 2 \mathbf{y}^T X\beta + ||\mathbf{y}||^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{100} (\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i)^2 - 2 y_i (\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i) + y_i^2

$$
\beta_{k+1} = \beta_k - \gamma \nabla_\beta C(\beta_k), \ k=0,1,\cdots

We can use the expression we computed for the gradient and let use a
\( \beta_0 \) be chosen randomly and let \( \gamma = 0.001 \). Stop iterating
when \( ||\nabla_\beta C(\beta_k) || &lt; \epsilon = 10^{-8} \).

\( \beta= (X^TX)^{-1} X^T \mathbf{y} \).

<h2 id="___sec10">Revisiting our first homework </h2>
<p>
We will use linear regression as a case study for the gradient descent
methods. Linear regression is a great test case for the gradient
descent methods discussed in the lectures since it has several
desirable properties such as:
<ol>
<li> An analytical solution (recall homework set 1).</li>
<li> The gradient can be computed analytically.</li>
<li> The cost function is convex which guarantees that gradient descent converges for small enough learning rates</li>
</ol>
We revisit the example from homework set 1 where we had
$$
y_i = 5x_i^2 + 0.1\xi_i, \ i=1,\cdots,100
$$
with \( x_i \in [0,1] \) chosen randomly with a uniform distribution. Additionally \( \xi_i \) represents stochastic noise chosen according to a normal distribution \( \cal {N}(0,1) \).
The linear regression model is given by
$$
h_\beta(x) = \hat{y} = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x,
$$
such that
$$
\hat{y}_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i.
$$
<p>
<!-- !split -->
<h2 id="___sec11">Gradient descent example </h2>
<p>
Let \( \mathbf{y} = (y_1,\cdots,y_n)^T \), \( \mathbf{\hat{y}} = (\hat{y}_1,\cdots,\hat{y}_n)^T \) and \( \beta = (\beta_0, \beta_1)^T \)
<p>
It is convenient to write \( \mathbf{\hat{y}} = X\beta \) where \( X \in \mathbb{R}^{100 \times 2} \) is the design matrix given by
$$
X \equiv \begin{bmatrix}
1 &amp; x_1 \\
\vdots &amp; \vdots \\
1 &amp; x_{100} &amp; \\
\end{bmatrix}.
$$
The loss function is given by
$$
C(\beta) = ||X\beta-\mathbf{y}||^2 = ||X\beta||^2 - 2 \mathbf{y}^T X\beta + ||\mathbf{y}||^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{100} (\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i)^2 - 2 y_i (\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i) + y_i^2
$$
and we want to find \( \beta \) such that \( C(\beta) \) is minimized.
<p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="___sec12">The derivative of the cost/loss function </h2>
<p>
Computing \( \partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_0 \) and \( \partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_1 \) we can show that the gradient can be written as
$$
\nabla_{\beta} C(\beta) = (\partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_0, \partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_1)^T = 2\begin{bmatrix} \sum_{i=1}^{100} \left(\beta_0+\beta_1x_i-y_i\right) \\
\sum_{i=1}^{100}\left( x_i (\beta_0+\beta_1x_i)-y_ix_i\right) \\
\end{bmatrix} = 2X^T(X\beta - \mathbf{y}),
$$
where \( X \) is the design matrix defined above.
<p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="___sec13">The Hessian matrix </h2>
The Hessian matrix of \( C(\beta) \) is given by
$$
\hat{H} \equiv \begin{bmatrix}
\frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_0^2} &amp; \frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_0 \partial \beta_1} \\
\frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_0 \partial \beta_1} &amp; \frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_1^2} &amp; \\
\end{bmatrix} = 2X^T X.
$$
This result implies that \( C(\beta) \) is a convex function since the matrix \( X^T X \) always is positive semi-definite.
<p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="___sec14">Simple program </h2>
<p>
We can now write a program that minimizes \( C(\beta) \) using the gradient descent method with a constant learning rate \( \gamma \) according to
$$
\beta_{k+1} = \beta_k - \gamma \nabla_\beta C(\beta_k), \ k=0,1,\cdots
$$
<p>
We can use the expression we computed for the gradient and let use a
\( \beta_0 \) be chosen randomly and let \( \gamma = 0.001 \). Stop iterating
when \( ||\nabla_\beta C(\beta_k) || \leq \epsilon = 10^{-8} \).
<p>
And finally we can compare our solution for \( \beta \) with the analytic result given by
\( \beta= (X^TX)^{-1} X^T \mathbf{y} \).

<h2 id="___sec7">Convex functions </h2>
<p>
Ideally we want our cost/loss function to be convex(concave).
<p>
First we give the definition of a convex set: A set \( C \) in
\( \mathbb{R}^n \) is said to be convex if, for all \( x \) and \( y \) in \( C \) and
all \( t \in (0,1) \) , the point \( (1 &#8722; t)x + ty \) also belongs to
C. Geometrically this means that every point on the line segment
connecting \( x \) and \( y \) is in \( C \) as discussed below.
<p>
The convex subsets of \( \mathbb{R} \) are the intervals of
\( \mathbb{R} \). Examples of convex sets of \( \mathbb{R}^2 \) are the
regular polygons (triangles, rectangles, pentagons, etc...).
<p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="___sec8">Convex function </h2>
<p>
<b>Convex function</b>: Let \( X \subset \mathbb{R}^n \) be a convex set. Assume that the function \( f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) is continuous, then \( f \) is said to be convex if $$f(tx_1 + (1-t)x_2) \leq tf(x_1) + (1-t)f(x_2) $$ for all \( x_1, x_2 \in X \) and for all \( t \in [0,1] \). If \( \leq \) is replaced with a strict inequaltiy in the definition, we demand \( x_1 \neq x_2 \) and \( t\in(0,1) \) then \( f \) is said to be strictly convex. For a single variable function, convexity means that if you draw a straight line connecting \( f(x_1) \) and \( f(x_2) \), the value of the function on the interval \( [x_1,x_2] \) is always below the line as illustrated below.
<p>
<!-- !split --><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<h2 id="___sec9">Conditions on convex functions </h2>
<p>
In the following we state first and second-order conditions which
ensures convexity of a function \( f \). We write \( D_f \) to denote the
domain of \( f \), i.e the subset of \( R^n \) where \( f \) is defined. For more
details and proofs we refer to: <a href="http://stanford.edu/boyd/cvxbook/, 2004" target="_blank">S. Boyd and L. Vandenberghe. Convex Optimization. Cambridge University Press</a>.
<p>
<div class="alert alert-block alert-block alert-text-normal">
<b>First order condition.</b>
<p>
Suppose \( f \) is differentiable (i.e \( \nabla f(x) \) is well defined for
all \( x \) in the domain of \( f \)). Then \( f \) is convex if and only if \( D_f \)
is a convex set and $$f(y) \geq f(x) + \nabla f(x)^T (y-x) $$ holds
for all \( x,y \in D_f \). This condition means that for a convex function
the first order Taylor expansion (right hand side above) at any point
a global under estimator of the function. To convince yourself you can
make a drawing of f(x) = x^2+1 and draw the tangent line to \( f(x) \) and
note that it is always below the graph.
</div>
<p>
<div class="alert alert-block alert-block alert-text-normal">
<b>Second order condition.</b>
<p>
Assume that \( f \) is twice
differentiable, i.e the Hessian matrix exists at each point in
\( D_f \). Then \( f \) is convex if and only if \( D_f \) is a convex set and its
Hessian is positive semi-definite for all \( x\in D_f \). For a
single-variable function this reduces to \( f''(x) \geq
0 \). Geometrically this means that \( f \) has nonnegative curvature
everywhere.
</div>
<p>
This condition is particularly useful since it gives us an procedure for determining if the function under consideration is convex, apart from using the definition.

<h2 id="___sec10">More on convex functions </h2>
<p>
The next result is of great importance to us and the reason why we are
going on about convex functions. In machine learning we frequently
have to minimize a loss/cost function in order to find the best
parameters for the model we are considering.
<p>
Ideally we want the
global minimum (for high-dimensional models it is hard to know
if we have local or global minimum). However, if the cost/loss function
is convex the following result provides invaluable information:
<p>
<div class="alert alert-block alert-block alert-text-normal">
<b>Any minimum is global for convex functions.</b>
<p>
Consider the problem of finding \( x \in \mathbb{R}^n \) such that \( f(x) \)
is minimal, where \( f \) is convex and differentiable. Then, any point
\( x^* \) that satisfies \( \nabla f(x^*) = 0 \) is a global minimum.
</div>
<p>
This result means that if we know that the cost/loss function is convex and we are able to find a minimum, we are guaranteed that it is a global minimum.

randomness. One such method is that of Stochastic Gradient Descent
(SGD), see below.

===== Convex functions =====
Ideally we want our cost/loss function to be convex(concave).
First we give the definition of a convex set: A set $C$ in
$\mathbb{R}^n$ is said to be convex if, for all $x$ and $y$ in $C$ and
all $t \in (0,1)$ , the point $(1 t)x + ty$ also belongs to
C. Geometrically this means that every point on the line segment
connecting $x$ and $y$ is in $C$ as discussed below.
The convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ are the intervals of
$\mathbb{R}$. Examples of convex sets of $\mathbb{R}^2$ are the
regular polygons (triangles, rectangles, pentagons, etc...).
!split
===== Convex function =====
_Convex function_: Let $X \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex set. Assume that the function $f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is continuous, then $f$ is said to be convex if $$f(tx_1 + (1-t)x_2) \leq tf(x_1) + (1-t)f(x_2) $$ for all $x_1, x_2 \in X$ and for all $t \in [0,1]$. If $\leq$ is replaced with a strict inequaltiy in the definition, we demand $x_1 \neq x_2$ and $t\in(0,1)$ then $f$ is said to be strictly convex. For a single variable function, convexity means that if you draw a straight line connecting $f(x_1)$ and $f(x_2)$, the value of the function on the interval $[x_1,x_2]$ is always below the line as illustrated below.
!split
===== Conditions on convex functions =====
In the following we state first and second-order conditions which
ensures convexity of a function $f$. We write $D_f$ to denote the
domain of $f$, i.e the subset of $R^n$ where $f$ is defined. For more
details and proofs we refer to: "S. Boyd and L. Vandenberghe. Convex Optimization. Cambridge University Press":"http://stanford.edu/boyd/cvxbook/, 2004".

Suppose $f$ is differentiable (i.e $\nabla f(x)$ is well defined for
all $x$ in the domain of $f$). Then $f$ is convex if and only if $D_f$
is a convex set and $$f(y) \geq f(x) + \nabla f(x)^T (y-x) $$ holds
for all $x,y \in D_f$. This condition means that for a convex function

make a drawing of $f(x) = x^2+1$ and draw the tangent line to $f(x)$ and
note that it is always below the graph.
!eblock
!bblock Second order condition
Assume that $f$ is twice
differentiable, i.e the Hessian matrix exists at each point in
$D_f$. Then $f$ is convex if and only if $D_f$ is a convex set and its
Hessian is positive semi-definite for all $x\in D_f$. For a
single-variable function this reduces to $f''(x) \geq 0$. Geometrically this means that $f$ has nonnegative curvature
everywhere.

This condition is particularly useful since it gives us an procedure for determining if the function under consideration is convex, apart from using the definition.

===== More on convex functions =====
The next result is of great importance to us and the reason why we are
going on about convex functions. In machine learning we frequently
have to minimize a loss/cost function in order to find the best
parameters for the model we are considering.
Ideally we want the
global minimum (for high-dimensional models it is hard to know
if we have local or global minimum). However, if the cost/loss function
is convex the following result provides invaluable information:
!bblock Any minimum is global for convex functions
Consider the problem of finding $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $f(x)$
is minimal, where $f$ is convex and differentiable. Then, any point
$x^*$ that satisfies $\nabla f(x^*) = 0$ is a global minimum.
!eblock
This result means that if we know that the cost/loss function is convex and we are able to find a minimum, we are guaranteed that it is a global minimum.

===== Some simple problems =====
o Show that $f(x)=x^2$ is convex for $x \in \mathbb{R}$ using the definition of convexity. Hint: If you re-write the definition, $f$ is convex if the following holds for all $x,y \in D_f$ and any $\lambda \in [0,1]$ $\lambda f(x)+(1-\lambda)f(y)-f(\lambda x + (1-\lambda) y ) \geq 0$.
o Using the second order condition show that the following functions are convex on the specified domain.
* $f(x) = e^x$ is convex for $x \in \mathbb{R}$.
* $g(x) = -\ln(x)$ is convex for $x \in (0,\infty)$.
o Let $f(x) = x^2$ and $g(x) = e^x$. Show that $f(g(x))$ and $g(f(x))$ is convex for $x \in \mathbb{R}$. Also show that if $f(x)$ is any convex function than $h(x) = e^{f(x)}$ is convex.
o A norm is any function that satisfy the following properties
* $f(\alpha x) = |\alpha| f(x)$ for all $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$.
* $f(x+y) \leq f(x) + f(y)$
* $f(x) \leq 0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ with equality if and only if $x = 0$
Using the definition of convexity, try to show that a function satisfying the properties above is convex (the third condition is not needed to show this).

===== Revisiting our first homework =====
We will use linear regression as a case study for the gradient descent
methods. Linear regression is a great test case for the gradient
descent methods discussed in the lectures since it has several
desirable properties such as:
o An analytical solution (recall homework set 1).
o The gradient can be computed analytically.
o The cost function is convex which guarantees that gradient descent converges for small enough learning rates
We revisit the example from homework set 1 where we had
!bt
\[
y_i = 5x_i^2 + 0.1\xi_i, \ i=1,\cdots,100
\]
!et
with $x_i \in [0,1] $ chosen randomly with a uniform distribution. Additionally $\xi_i$ represents stochastic noise chosen according to a normal distribution $\cal {N}(0,1)$.
The linear regression model is given by
!bt
\[
h_\beta(x) = \hat{y} = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x,
\]
!et
such that
!bt
\[
\hat{y}_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i.
\]
!et

===== Gradient descent example =====
Let $\mathbf{y} = (y_1,\cdots,y_n)^T$, $\mathbf{\hat{y}} = (\hat{y}_1,\cdots,\hat{y}_n)^T$ and $\beta = (\beta_0, \beta_1)^T$
It is convenient to write $\mathbf{\hat{y}} = X\beta$ where $X \in \mathbb{R}^{100 \times 2} $ is the design matrix given by
!bt
\[
X \equiv \begin{bmatrix}
1 &amp; x_1 \\
\vdots &amp; \vdots \\
1 &amp; x_{100} &amp; \\
\end{bmatrix}.
\]
!et
The loss function is given by
!bt
\[
C(\beta) = ||X\beta-\mathbf{y}||^2 = ||X\beta||^2 - 2 \mathbf{y}^T X\beta + ||\mathbf{y}||^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{100} (\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i)^2 - 2 y_i (\beta_0 + \beta_1 x_i) + y_i^2
\]
!et
and we want to find $\beta$ such that $C(\beta)$ is minimized.
!split
===== The derivative of the cost/loss function =====
Computing $\partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_0$ and $\partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_1$ we can show that the gradient can be written as
!bt
\[
\nabla_{\beta} C(\beta) = (\partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_0, \partial C(\beta) / \partial \beta_1)^T = 2\begin{bmatrix} \sum_{i=1}^{100} \left(\beta_0+\beta_1x_i-y_i\right) \\
\sum_{i=1}^{100}\left( x_i (\beta_0+\beta_1x_i)-y_ix_i\right) \\
\end{bmatrix} = 2X^T(X\beta - \mathbf{y}),
\]
!et
where $X$ is the design matrix defined above.
!split
===== The Hessian matrix =====
The Hessian matrix of $C(\beta)$ is given by
!bt
\[
\hat{H} \equiv \begin{bmatrix}
\frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_0^2} &amp; \frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_0 \partial \beta_1} \\
\frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_0 \partial \beta_1} &amp; \frac{\partial^2 C(\beta)}{\partial \beta_1^2} &amp; \\
\end{bmatrix} = 2X^T X.
\]
!et
This result implies that $C(\beta)$ is a convex function since the matrix $X^T X$ always is positive semi-definite.
!split
===== Simple program =====
We can now write a program that minimizes $C(\beta)$ using the gradient descent method with a constant learning rate $\gamma$ according to
!bt
\[
\beta_{k+1} = \beta_k - \gamma \nabla_\beta C(\beta_k), \ k=0,1,\cdots
\]
!et
We can use the expression we computed for the gradient and let use a
$\beta_0$ be chosen randomly and let $\gamma = 0.001$. Stop iterating
when $||\nabla_\beta C(\beta_k) || \leq \epsilon = 10^{-8}$.
And finally we can compare our solution for $\beta$ with the analytic result given by
$\beta= (X^TX)^{-1} X^T \mathbf{y}$.

===== Convex functions =====
Ideally we want our cost/loss function to be convex(concave).
First we give the definition of a convex set: A set $C$ in
$\mathbb{R}^n$ is said to be convex if, for all $x$ and $y$ in $C$ and
all $t \in (0,1)$ , the point $(1 t)x + ty$ also belongs to
C. Geometrically this means that every point on the line segment
connecting $x$ and $y$ is in $C$ as discussed below.
The convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ are the intervals of
$\mathbb{R}$. Examples of convex sets of $\mathbb{R}^2$ are the
regular polygons (triangles, rectangles, pentagons, etc...).
!split
===== Convex function =====
_Convex function_: Let $X \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex set. Assume that the function $f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is continuous, then $f$ is said to be convex if $$f(tx_1 + (1-t)x_2) \leq tf(x_1) + (1-t)f(x_2) $$ for all $x_1, x_2 \in X$ and for all $t \in [0,1]$. If $\leq$ is replaced with a strict inequaltiy in the definition, we demand $x_1 \neq x_2$ and $t\in(0,1)$ then $f$ is said to be strictly convex. For a single variable function, convexity means that if you draw a straight line connecting $f(x_1)$ and $f(x_2)$, the value of the function on the interval $[x_1,x_2]$ is always below the line as illustrated below.
!split
===== Conditions on convex functions =====
In the following we state first and second-order conditions which
ensures convexity of a function $f$. We write $D_f$ to denote the
domain of $f$, i.e the subset of $R^n$ where $f$ is defined. For more
details and proofs we refer to: "S. Boyd and L. Vandenberghe. Convex Optimization. Cambridge University Press":"http://stanford.edu/boyd/cvxbook/, 2004".

for all $x,y \in D_f$. This condition means that for a convex function
