"## What is Machine Learning?\n",
"\n",
"What is machine learning? At its most basic level machine learning is a\n",
"combination of\n",
"\n",
"$$ \\text{data} + \\text{model} \\xrightarrow{\\text{compute}} \\text{prediction}$$\n",
"\n",
"where *data* is our observations. They can be actively or passively\n",
"acquired (meta-data). The *model* contains our assumptions, based on\n",
"previous experience. That experience can be other data, it can come from\n",
"transfer learning, or it can merely be our beliefs about the\n",
"regularities of the universe. In humans our models include our inductive\n",
"biases. The *prediction* is an action to be taken or a categorization or\n",
"a quality score. The reason that machine learning has become a mainstay\n",
"of artificial intelligence is the importance of predictions in\n",
"artificial intelligence. The data and the model are combined through\n",
"computation.\n",
"\n",
"In practice we normally perform machine learning using two functions. To\n",
"combine data with a model we typically make use of:\n",
"\n",
"**a prediction function** a function which is used to make the\n",
"predictions. It includes our beliefs about the regularities of the\n",
"universe, our assumptions about how the world works, e.g. smoothness,\n",
"spatial similarities, temporal similarities.\n",
"\n",
"**an objective function** a function which defines the cost of\n",
"misprediction. Typically it includes knowledge about the world's\n",
"generating processes (probabilistic objectives) or the costs we pay for\n",
"mispredictions (empiricial risk minimization).\n",
"\n",
"The combination of data and model through the prediction function and\n",
"the objectie function leads to a *learning algorithm*. The class of\n",
"prediction functions and objective functions we can make use of is\n",
"restricted by the algorithms they lead to. If the prediction function or\n",
"the objective function are too complex, then it can be difficult to find\n",
"an appropriate learning algorithm. Much of the acdemic field of machine\n",
"learning is the quest for new learning algorithms that allow us to bring\n",
"different types of models and data together.\n",
"\n",
"A useful reference for state of the art in machine learning is the UK\n",
"Royal Society Report, [Machine Learning: Power and Promise of Computers\n",

"\n",
"### Artificial Intelligence\n",
"\n",
"### Uncertainty\n",
"\n",
"In practice, we normally also have uncertainty associated with these\n",
"functions. Uncertainty in the prediction function arises from\n",
"\n",
"1. scarcity of training data and\n",
"2. mismatch between the set of prediction functions we choose and all\n",
" possible prediction functions.\n",
"\n",
"There are also challenges around specification of the objective\n",
"function, but for we will save those for another day. For the moment,\n",
"let us focus on the prediction function.\n",
"\n",
"### Neural Networks and Prediction Functions\n",
"\n",
"Neural networks are adaptive non-linear function models. Originally,\n",
"they were studied (by McCulloch and Pitts [@McCulloch:neuron43]) as\n",
"simple models for neurons, but over the last decade they have become\n",
"popular because they are a flexible approach to modelling complex data.\n",
"A particular characteristic of neural network models is that they can be\n",
"composed to form highly complex functions which encode many of our\n",
"expectations of the real world. They allow us to encode our assumptions\n",
"about how the world works.\n",
"\n",
"We will return to composition later, but for the moment, let's focus on\n",
"a one hidden layer neural network. We are interested in the prediction\n",
"function, so we'll ignore the objective function (which is often called\n",
"an error function) for the moment, and just describe the mathematical\n",
"object of interest\n",
"\n",
"$$\n",
"\\mappingFunction(\\inputVector) = \\mappingMatrix^\\top \\activationVector(\\mappingMatrixTwo, \\inputVector)\n",
"$$\n",
"\n",
"Where in this case $\\mappingFunction(\\cdot)$ is a scalar function with\n",
"vector inputs, and $\\activationVector(\\cdot)$ is a vector function with\n",
"vector inputs. The dimensionality of the vector function is known as the\n",
"number of hidden units, or the number of neurons. The elements of this\n",
"vector function are known as the *activation* function of the neural\n",
"network and $\\mappingMatrixTwo$ are the parameters of the activation\n",
"functions.\n",
"\n",
"### Relations with Classical Statistics\n",
"\n",
"In statistics activation functions are traditionally known as *basis\n",
"functions*. And we would think of this as a *linear model*. It's doesn't\n",
"make linear predictions, but it's linear because in statistics\n",
"estimation focuses on the parameters, $\\mappingMatrix$, not the\n",
"parameters, $\\mappingMatrixTwo$. The linear model terminology refers to\n",
"the fact that the model is *linear in the parameters*, but it is *not*\n",
"linear in the data unless the activation functions are chosen to be\n",
"linear.\n",
"\n",
"### Adaptive Basis Functions\n",
"\n",
"The first difference in the (early) neural network literature to the\n",
"classical statistical literature is the decision to optimize these\n",
"parameters, $\\mappingMatrixTwo$, as well as the parameters,\n",
"$\\mappingMatrix$ (which would normally be denoted in statistics by\n",
"$\\boldsymbol{\\beta}$)[^1].\n",
"\n",
"In this tutorial, we're going to go revisit that decision, and follow\n",
"the path of Radford Neal [@Neal:bayesian94] who, inspired by work of\n",
"David MacKay [@MacKay:bayesian92] and others did his PhD thesis on\n",
"Bayesian Neural Networks. If we take a Bayesian approach to parameter\n",
"inference (note I am using inference here in the classical sense, not in\n",
"the sense of prediction of test data, which seems to be a newer usage),\n",
"then we don't wish to fit parameters at all, rather we wish to integrate\n",
"them away and understand the family of functions that the model\n",
"describes.\n",
"\n",
"### Probabilistic Modelling\n",
"\n",
"This Bayesian approach is designed to deal with uncertainty arising from\n",
"fitting our prediction function to the data we have, a reduced data set.\n",
"\n",
"The Bayesian approach can be derived from a broader understanding of\n",
"what our objective is. If we accept that we can jointly represent all\n",
"things that happen in the world with a probability distribution, then we\n",
"can interogate that probability to make predictions. So, if we are\n",
"interested in predictions, $\\dataScalar_*$ at future points input\n",
"locations of interest, $\\inputVector_*$ given previously training data,\n",
"$\\dataVector$ and corresponding inputs, $\\inputMatrix$, then we are\n",
"really interogating the following probability density, $$\n",
"p(\\dataScalar_*|\\dataVector, \\inputMatrix, \\inputVector_*),\n",
"$$ there is nothing controversial here, as long as you accept that you\n",
"have a good joint model of the world around you that relates test data\n",
"to training data,\n",
"$p(\\dataScalar_*, \\dataVector, \\inputMatrix, \\inputVector_*)$ then this\n",
"conditional distribution can be recovered through standard rules of\n",
"probability\n",
"($\\text{data} + \\text{model} \\rightarrow \\text{prediction}$).\n",
"\n",
"We can construct this joint density through the use of the following\n",
"decomposition: $$\n",
"p(\\dataScalar_*|\\dataVector, \\inputMatrix, \\inputVector_*) = \\int p(\\dataScalar_*|\\inputVector_*, \\mappingMatrix) p(\\mappingMatrix | \\dataVector, \\inputMatrix) \\text{d} \\mappingMatrix\n",
"$$\n",
"\n",
"where, for convenience, we are assuming *all* the parameters of the\n",
"model are now represented by $\\parameterVector$ (which contains\n",
"$\\mappingMatrix$ and $\\mappingMatrixTwo$) and\n",
"$p(\\parameterVector | \\dataVector, \\inputMatrix)$ is recognised as the\n",
"posterior density of the parameters given data and\n",
"$p(\\dataScalar_*|\\inputVector_*, \\parameterVector)$ is the *likelihood*\n",
"of an individual test data point given the parameters.\n",
"\n",
"The likelihood of the data is normally assumed to be independent across\n",
"the parameters, $$\n",
"p(\\dataVector|\\inputMatrix, \\mappingMatrix) \\prod_{i=1}^\\numData p(\\dataScalar_i|\\inputVector_i, \\mappingMatrix),$$\n",
"\n",
"and if that is so, it is easy to extend our predictions across all\n",
"future, potential, locations, $$\n",
"p(\\dataVector_*|\\dataVector, \\inputMatrix, \\inputMatrix_*) = \\int p(\\dataVector_*|\\inputMatrix_*, \\parameterVector) p(\\parameterVector | \\dataVector, \\inputMatrix) \\text{d} \\parameterVector.\n",
"$$\n",
"\n",
"The likelihood is also where the *prediction function* is incorporated.\n",
"For example in the regression case, we consider an objective based\n",
"around the Gaussian density, $$\n",
"p(\\dataScalar_i | \\mappingFunction(\\inputVector_i)) = \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{2\\pi \\dataStd^2}} \\exp\\left(-\\frac{\\left(\\dataScalar_i - \\mappingFunction(\\inputVector_i)\\right)^2}{2\\dataStd^2}\\right)\n",
"$$\n",
"\n",

"$$ and a non-degenerate kernel matrix leads to $\\det{\\kernelMatrix} = 0$\n",
"defeating the normalization (it's equivalent to finding a projection in\n",

"\n",
"If the result of composing many functions together is simply another\n",

"class of functions we are modeling by composing in this manner. A\n",
"Gaussian process is specifying a prior over functions, and one with a\n",
"number of elegant properties. For example, the derivative process (if it\n",
"exists) of a Gaussian process is also Gaussian distributed. That makes\n",
"it easy to assimilate, for example, derivative observations. But that\n",
"also might raise some alarm bells. That implies that the *marginal\n",
"derivative distribution* is also Gaussian distributed. If that's the\n",
"case, then it means that functions which occasionally exhibit very large\n",
"derivatives are hard to model with a Gaussian process. For example, a\n",
"function with jumps in.\n",
"\n",
"A one off discontinuity is easy to model with a Gaussian process, or\n",
"even multiple discontinuities. They can be introduced in the mean\n",
"function, or independence can be forced between two covariance functions\n",
"that apply in different areas of the input space. But in these cases we\n",
"will need to specify the number of discontinuities and where they occur.\n",
"In otherwords we need to *parameterise* the discontinuities. If we do\n",
"not know the number of discontinuities and don't wish to specify where\n",
"they occur, i.e. if we want a non-parametric representation of\n",
"discontinuities, then the standard Gaussian process doesn't help.\n",

"### Stochastic Process Composition\n",
"\n",
"The deep Gaussian process leads to *non-Gaussian* models, and\n",

"### Mountain Car Simulator\n",
"\n",
"To illustrate the above mentioned concepts we we use the [mountain car\n",
"simulator](https://github.com/openai/gym/wiki/MountainCarContinuous-v0).\n",
"This simulator is widely used in machine learning to test reinforcement\n",
"learning algorithms. The goal is to define a control policy on a car\n",
"whose objective is to climb a mountain. Graphically, the problem looks\n",
"as follows:\n",
"\n",
"\n",
"\n",
"The goal is to define a sequence of actions (push the car right or left\n",
"with certain intensity) to make the car reach the flag after a number\n",
"$T$ of time steps.\n",
"\n",
"At each time step $t$, the car is characterized by a vector\n",
"$\\inputVector_{t} = (p_t,v_t)$ of states which are respectively the the\n",
"position and velocity of the car at time $t$. For a sequence of states\n",
"(an episode), the dynamics of the car is given by\n",
"\n",
"$$\\inputVector_{t+1} = \\mappingFunction(\\inputVector_{t},\\textbf{u}_{t})$$\n",
"\n",
"where $\\textbf{u}_{t}$ is the value of an action force, which in this\n",
"example corresponds to push car to the left (negative value) or to the\n",
"right (positive value). The actions across a full episode are\n",
"represented in a policy $\\textbf{u}_{t} = \\pi(\\inputVector_{t},\\theta)$\n",
"that acts according to the current state of the car and some parameters\n",
"$\\theta$. In the following examples we will assume that the policy is\n",
"linear which allows us to write $\\pi(\\inputVector_{t},\\theta)$ as\n",
"\n",
"$$\\pi(\\inputVector,\\theta)= \\theta_0 + \\theta_p p + \\theta_vv.$$\n",
"\n",
"For $t=1,\\dots,T$ now given some initial state $\\inputVector_{0}$ and\n",
"some some values of each $\\textbf{u}_{t}$, we can **simulate** the full\n",
"dynamics of the car for a full episode using\n",
"[Gym](https://gym.openai.com/envs/). The values of $\\textbf{u}_{t}$ are\n",
"fully determined by the parameters of the linear controller.\n",
"\n",
"After each episode of length $T$ is complete, a reward function\n",
"$R_{T}(\\theta)$ is computed. In the mountain car example the reward is\n",
"computed as 100 for reaching the target of the hill on the right hand\n",
"side, minus the squared sum of actions (a real negative to push to the\n",
"left and a real positive to push to the right) from start to goal. Note\n",
"that our reward depend on $\\theta$ as we make it dependent on the\n",
"parameters of the linear controller.\n",
