In the previous homework you implemented a fully-connected two-layer neural network on CIFAR-10. The implementation was simple but not very modular since the loss and gradient were computed in a single monolithic function. This is manageable for a simple two-layer network, but would become impractical as we move to bigger models. Ideally we want to build networks using a more modular design so that we can implement different layer types in isolation and then snap them together into models with different architectures.
In this exercise we will implement fully-connected networks using a more modular approach. For each layer we will implement a forward
and a backward
function. The forward
function will receive inputs, weights, and other parameters and will return both an output and a cache
object storing data needed for the backward pass, like this:
def layer_forward(x, w):
""" Receive inputs x and weights w """
# Do some computations ...
z = # ... some intermediate value
# Do some more computations ...
out = # the output
cache = (x, w, z, out) # Values we need to compute gradients
return out, cache
The backward pass will receive upstream derivatives and the cache
object, and will return gradients with respect to the inputs and weights, like this:
def layer_backward(dout, cache):
"""
Receive derivative of loss with respect to outputs and cache,
and compute derivative with respect to inputs.
"""
# Unpack cache values
x, w, z, out = cache
# Use values in cache to compute derivatives
dx = # Derivative of loss with respect to x
dw = # Derivative of loss with respect to w
return dx, dw
After implementing a bunch of layers this way, we will be able to easily combine them to build classifiers with different architectures.
In addition to implementing fully-connected networks of arbitrary depth, we will also explore different update rules for optimization, and introduce Dropout as a regularizer and Batch Normalization as a tool to more efficiently optimize deep networks.

Open the file cs231n/layers.py
and implement the affine_forward
function.
Once you are done you can test your implementaion by running the following:
# Test the affine_forward function
num_inputs = 2
input_shape = (4, 5, 6)
output_dim = 3
input_size = num_inputs * np.prod(input_shape)
weight_size = output_dim * np.prod(input_shape)
x = np.linspace(-0.1, 0.5, num=input_size).reshape(num_inputs, *input_shape)
w = np.linspace(-0.2, 0.3, num=weight_size).reshape(np.prod(input_shape), output_dim)
b = np.linspace(-0.3, 0.1, num=output_dim)
out, _ = affine_forward(x, w, b)
correct_out = np.array([[ 1.49834967, 1.70660132, 1.91485297],
[ 3.25553199, 3.5141327, 3.77273342]])
# Compare your output with ours. The error should be around 1e-9.
print 'Testing affine_forward function:'
print 'difference: ', rel_error(out, correct_out)
Testing affine_forward function: difference: 9.76984946819e-10
Now implement the affine_backward
function and test your implementation using numeric gradient checking.
# Test the affine_backward function
x = np.random.randn(10, 2, 3)
w = np.random.randn(6, 5)
b = np.random.randn(5)

Implement the forward pass for the ReLU activation function in the relu_forward
function and test your implementation using the following:
# Test the relu_forward function
x = np.linspace(-0.5, 0.5, num=12).reshape(3, 4)
out, _ = relu_forward(x)
correct_out = np.array([[ 0., 0., 0., 0., ],

print 'Testing relu_forward function:'
print 'difference: ', rel_error(out, correct_out)
Testing relu_forward function: difference: 4.99999979802e-08
Now implement the backward pass for the ReLU activation function in the relu_backward
function and test your implementation using numeric gradient checking:
x = np.random.randn(10, 10)
dout = np.random.randn(*x.shape)
dx_num = eval_numerical_gradient_array(lambda x: relu_forward(x)[0], x, dout)
_, cache = relu_forward(x)
dx = relu_backward(dout, cache)
# The error should be around 1e-12
print 'Testing relu_backward function:'
print 'dx error: ', rel_error(dx_num, dx)
Testing relu_backward function: dx error: 3.27561910906e-12
There are some common patterns of layers that are frequently used in neural nets. For example, affine layers are frequently followed by a ReLU nonlinearity. To make these common patterns easy, we define several convenience layers in the file cs231n/layer_utils.py
.
For now take a look at the affine_relu_forward
and affine_relu_backward
functions, and run the following to numerically gradient check the backward pass:
from cs231n.layer_utils import affine_relu_forward, affine_relu_backward
x = np.random.randn(2, 3, 4)
w = np.random.randn(12, 10)
b = np.random.randn(10)
dout = np.random.randn(2, 10)
out, cache = affine_relu_forward(x, w, b)
dx, dw, db = affine_relu_backward(dout, cache)
dx_num = eval_numerical_gradient_array(lambda x: affine_relu_forward(x, w, b)[0], x, dout)
dw_num = eval_numerical_gradient_array(lambda w: affine_relu_forward(x, w, b)[0], w, dout)
db_num = eval_numerical_gradient_array(lambda b: affine_relu_forward(x, w, b)[0], b, dout)
print 'Testing affine_relu_forward:'
print 'dx error: ', rel_error(dx_num, dx)
print 'dw error: ', rel_error(dw_num, dw)
print 'db error: ', rel_error(db_num, db)

You implemented these loss functions in the last assignment, so we'll give them to you for free here. You should still make sure you understand how they work by looking at the implementations in cs231n/layers.py
.
You can make sure that the implementations are correct by running the following:
num_classes, num_inputs = 10, 50
x = 0.001 * np.random.randn(num_inputs, num_classes)
y = np.random.randint(num_classes, size=num_inputs)
dx_num = eval_numerical_gradient(lambda x: svm_loss(x, y)[0], x, verbose=False)
loss, dx = svm_loss(x, y)
# Test svm_loss function. Loss should be around 9 and dx error should be 1e-9
print 'Testing svm_loss:'
print 'loss: ', loss
print 'dx error: ', rel_error(dx_num, dx)
dx_num = eval_numerical_gradient(lambda x: softmax_loss(x, y)[0], x, verbose=False)
loss, dx = softmax_loss(x, y)
# Test softmax_loss function. Loss should be 2.3 and dx error should be 1e-8

In the previous assignment, the logic for training models was coupled to the models themselves. Following a more modular design, for this assignment we have split the logic for training models into a separate class.

Next you will implement a fully-connected network with an arbitrary number of hidden layers.
Read through the FullyConnectedNet
class in the file cs231n/classifiers/fc_net.py
.
Implement the initialization, the forward pass, and the backward pass. For the moment don't worry about implementing dropout or batch normalization; we will add those features soon.
As a sanity check, run the following to check the initial loss and to gradient check the network both with and without regularization. Do the initial losses seem reasonable?
For gradient checking, you should expect to see errors around 1e-6 or less.

As another sanity check, make sure you can overfit a small dataset of 50 images. First we will try a three-layer network with 100 units in each hidden layer. You will need to tweak the learning rate and initialization scale, but you should be able to overfit and achieve 100% training accuracy within 20 epochs.

Did you notice anything about the comparative difficulty of training the three-layer net vs training the five layer net?
In three-layer net we've achieved the overfit state by using small steps to large initialized weights. And in five-layer net we've get overfit with smaller initialized weights but large steps. It seems like five-layer net use more weights multiply, the net has to use small weights in order to keep the cross-entropy small.
So far we have used vanilla stochastic gradient descent (SGD) as our update rule. More sophisticated update rules can make it easier to train deep networks. We will implement a few of the most commonly used update rules and compare them to vanilla SGD.
Stochastic gradient descent with momentum is a widely used update rule that tends to make deep networks converge faster than vanilla stochstic gradient descent.
Open the file cs231n/optim.py
and read the documentation at the top of the file to make sure you understand the API. Implement the SGD+momentum update rule in the function sgd_momentum
and run the following to check your implementation. You should see errors less than 1e-8.
from cs231n.optim import sgd_momentum
N, D = 4, 5
w = np.linspace(-0.4, 0.6, num=N*D).reshape(N, D)
dw = np.linspace(-0.6, 0.4, num=N*D).reshape(N, D)
v = np.linspace(0.6, 0.9, num=N*D).reshape(N, D)
config = {'learning_rate': 1e-3, 'velocity': v}
next_w, _ = sgd_momentum(w, dw, config=config)

Once you have done so, run the following to train a six-layer network with both SGD and SGD+momentum. You should see the SGD+momentum update rule converge faster.

RMSProp [1] and Adam [2] are update rules that set per-parameter learning rates by using a running average of the second moments of gradients.
In the file cs231n/optim.py
, implement the RMSProp update rule in the rmsprop
function and implement the Adam update rule in the adam
function, and check your implementations using the tests below.

Train the best fully-connected model that you can on CIFAR-10, storing your best model in the best_model
variable. We require you to get at least 50% accuracy on the validation set using a fully-connected net.
If you are careful it should be possible to get accuracies above 55%, but we don't require it for this part and won't assign extra credit for doing so. Later in the assignment we will ask you to train the best convolutional network that you can on CIFAR-10, and we would prefer that you spend your effort working on convolutional nets rather than fully-connected nets.
You might find it useful to complete the BatchNormalization.ipynb
and Dropout.ipynb
notebooks before completing this part, since those techniques can help you train powerful models.
