Given

We have training data set

\begin{aligned} &(x^{(1)}, y^{(1)}) \\ &(x^{(2)}, y^{(2)}) \\ &(x^{(3)}, y^{(3)}) \\ &......\\ &(x^{(m)}, y^{(m)}) \end{aligned}

Here the super script $(i)$ denoted as i-th traininng example.

We want to train a model with appropriate $w$ and $b$ so that the prediction $\hat{y}^{(i)} \approx y^{(i)}$

Hypothesis

We define it as linear model $$z^{(i)} = w^Tx^{(i)} + b$$

We use sigmoid function to converge in between 0 and 1 $$sigmoid(z) = \frac{1}{1 + e^{-z}}$$

def sigmoid(z):
"""
Compute the sigmoid of z
Arguments:
z -- A scalar or numpy array of any size.
Return:
s -- sigmoid(z)
"""

### START CODE HERE ### (≈ 1 line of code)
s = 1 / (1 + np.exp(-1 * z))
### END CODE HERE ###
return s


Initialize parameter

Set both $w$ and $b$ to $0$ Note that w.shape = [m, 1], where m is the number of training example. So w is a m by 1 matrix

def initialize_with_zeros(dim):
"""
This function creates a vector of zeros of shape (dim, 1) for w and initializes b to 0.

Argument:
dim -- size of the w vector we want (or number of parameters in this case)

Returns:
w -- initialized vector of shape (dim, 1)
b -- initialized scalar (corresponds to the bias)
"""

### START CODE HERE ### (≈ 1 line of code)
w = np.zeros([dim, 1])
b = 0
### END CODE HERE ###

assert(w.shape == (dim, 1))
assert(isinstance(b, float) or isinstance(b, int))

return w, b


Predict Value

This is the predict value from current model $$\hat{y}^{(i)} = sigmoid(z^{(i)})$$

Also here we note that $$\frac{\partial \hat{y}}{\partial z} = \hat{y} (1 - \hat{y})$$

Loss Function

Now we need to calculate the difference between actual and expected values, here we define the function to compute the different by using $\log$ in logistic regression, rather than square difference. This is because in optimization phase, the square difference equation will result into many local optimal problem.

$\mathcal{L}(\hat{y}^{(i)}, y^{(i)}) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l l} -\log(\hat{y}^{(i)}) & \quad \text{if y = 1 } \\ -\log(1-\hat{y}^{(i)}) &\quad \text{if y = 0 } \\ \end{array} \right.$

The equation above can be simplified as below:

$\mathcal{L}(\hat{y}^{(i)}, y^{(i)}) = - (y^{(i)} \log \hat{y}^{(i)} + (1 - y^{(i)}) \log (1 - \hat{y}^{(i)}))$

Cost Function

Now we have the loss value for each training example, we want to sum them so that we have an overall estimation about how much it cost for this model

$$J = \frac{1}{m} \sum^{m}_{i = 1} \mathcal{L}(\hat{y}^{(i)}, y^{(i)})$$ By doing this we know the average loss of this model

Propagation

def propagate(w, b, X, Y):
"""
Implement the cost function and its gradient for the propagation explained above

Arguments:
w -- weights, a numpy array of size (num_px * num_px * 3, 1)
b -- bias, a scalar
X -- data of size (num_px * num_px * 3, number of examples)
Y -- true "label" vector (containing 0 if non-cat, 1 if cat) of size (1, number of examples)

Return:
cost -- negative log-likelihood cost for logistic regression
dw -- gradient of the loss with respect to w, thus same shape as w
db -- gradient of the loss with respect to b, thus same shape as b

Tips:
- Write your code step by step for the propagation. np.log(), np.dot()

Forward

We move forward by computing the loss function and cost function.

Backward

In order to compute backward, we need to calculate the derivitive from loss function and moving backward. Here we add some mathematical explanation for the equation above:

\begin{aligned} d\hat{y} &= \frac{\partial \mathcal{L}(\hat{y}, y)}{\partial \hat{y}} \\ &= \frac{1-y}{1 - \hat{y}} -\frac{y}{\hat{y}} \end{aligned}

Here we use chain rule to calculate the $dz$

\begin{aligned} dz &= \frac{\partial \mathcal{L}(\hat{y}, y)}{\partial z} \\ &= \frac{\partial \mathcal{L}(\hat{y}, y)}{\partial \hat{y}} \times \frac{\partial \hat{y}}{\partial z} \\ &= (\frac{1-y}{1 - \hat{y}} -\frac{y}{\hat{y}}) \times [\hat{y} (1 - \hat{y})] \\ &= \hat{y} - y \end{aligned}

We do the same to calculate $dw$

\begin{aligned} dw_i &= \frac{\partial \mathcal{L}(\hat{y}, y)}{\partial w_i} \\ &= x_i \times dz\\ \therefore dw &= \frac{1}{m} X(\hat{Y}-Y)^T \end{aligned}

Same technique applies to $db$ as well

\begin{aligned} db &= \frac{\partial \mathcal{L}(\hat{y}, y)}{\partial b} \\ &= dz \\ \therefore db &= \frac{1}{m} \sum^{m}_{i=1} (\hat{y}^{(i)} - y^{(i)}) \end{aligned}

Optimization

Here we apply the learning rate to $dw$ and $db$ so that they move toward the optimal value

def optimize(w, b, X, Y, num_iterations, learning_rate, print_cost = False):
"""
