4.3 Sum Rule, Product Rule, and Bayes’ Theorem

 We think of probability theory as an extension to logical reasoning Probabilistic modeling  provides a principled foundation for designing machine learning methods. Once we have defined probability distributions corresponding to the uncertainties of the data and our problem, it turns out that there are only two fundamental rules, the sum rule and the product rule. Let $p(x,y)$ is the joint distribution of the two random variables $x, y$. The distributions $p(x)$ and $p(y)$ are the corresponding marginal distributions, and $p(y |x)$ is the conditional distribution of $y$ given $x$. Sum Rule The addition rule states the probability of two events is the sum of the probability that either will happen minus the probability that both will happen. The addition rule is: $P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)−P(A∩B)$ Suppose $A$ and $B$ are disjoint, their intersection is empty. Then the probability of their intersection is zero. In symbols:  $P(A∩B)=0$  The addition law then simplifies to: $P(...

5.1 Optimization using Gradient Descent

Since machine learning algorithms are implemented on a computer, the mathematical formulations are expressed as numerical optimization methods.Training a machine learning model often boils down to finding a good set of parameters. The notion of “good” is determined by the objective function or the probabilistic model. Given an objective function, finding the best value is done using optimization algorithms. There are two main branches of continuous optimization constrained and unconstrained. By convention, most objective functions in machine learning are intended to be minimized, that is, the best value is the minimum value. Intuitively finding the best value is like finding the valleys of the objective function, and the gradients point us uphill. The idea is to move downhill (opposite to the gradient) and hope to find the deepest point. For unconstrained optimization, this is the only concept we need,but there are several design choices. For constrained optimization, we need to intr...
