COMP9417 - Machine Learning Homework 2: Numerical Implementation of Logistic Regression
Introduction In homework 1, we considered Gradient Descent (and coordinate descent) for minimizing a regularized loss function. In this homework, we consider an alternative method known as Newton’s algorithm. We will first run Newton’s algorithm on a simple toy problem, and then implement it from scratch on a real data classification problem. We also look at the dual version of logistic regression.

Question 1. Introduction to Newton’s Method
Note: throughout this question do not use any existing implementations of any of the algorithms discussed unless explicitly asked to in the question. Using existing implementations can result in a grade of zero for the entire question. In homework 1 we studied gradient descent (GD), which is usually referred to as a first order method. Here, we study an alternative algorithm known as Newton’s algorithm, which is generally referred to as a second order method. Roughly speaking, a second order method makes use of both first and second derivatives. Generally, second order methods are much more accurate than first order ones. Given a twice differentiable function g : R → R, Newton’s method generates a sequence {x(k)} iteratively according to the following update rule:
x(k+1) = x(k) − g′(x(k)) , k = 0,1,2,..., (1) g′′(x(k))
For example, consider the function g(x) = 12 x2 − sin(x) with initial guess x(0) = 0. Then g′(x) = x − cos(x), and g′′(x) = 1 + sin(x),
and so we have the following iterations:
x(1) = x(0) − x(0) − cos(x0) = 0 − 0 − cos(0) = 1 1 + sin(x(0)) 1 + sin(0)
x(2) = x(1) − x(1) − cos(x1) = 1 − 1 − cos(1) = 0.750363867840244 1 + sin(x(1)) 1 + sin(1)
x(3) = 0.739112890911362 .
and this continues until we terminate the algorithm (as a quick exercise for your own benefit, code this up, plot the function and each of the iterates). We note here that in practice, we often use a different update called the dampened Newton method, defined by:
x(k+1) =x(k) −αg′(xk), k=0,1,2,.... (2) g′′(xk)
Here, as in the case of GD, the step size α has the effect of ‘dampening’ the update. Consider now the twice differentiable function f : Rn → R. The Newton steps in this case are now:
x(k+1) =x(k) −(H(x(k)))−1∇f(x(k)), k=0,1,2,..., (3)
where H(x) = ∇2f(x) is the Hessian of f. Heuristically, this formula generalized equation (1) to func- tions with vector inputs since the gradient is the analog of the first derivative, and the Hessian is the analog of the second derivative.
(a) Consider the function f : R2 → R defined by f(x,y)=100(y−x2)2 +(1−x)2.
Create a 3D plot of the function using mplot3d (see lab0 for example). Use a range of [−5, 5] for both x and y axes. Further, compute the gradient and Hessian of f . what to submit: A single plot, the code used to generate the plot, the gradient and Hessian calculated along with all working. Add a copy of the code to solutions.py

(b) Using NumPy only, implement the (undampened) Newton algorithm to find the minimizer of the function in the previous part, using an initial guess of x(0) = (−1.2, 1)T . Terminate the algorithm when 􏰀􏰀∇f(x(k))􏰀􏰀2 ≤ 10−6. Report the values of x(k) for k = 0, 1, . . . , K where K is your final iteration. what to submit: your iterations, and a screen shot of your code. Add a copy of the code to solutions.py
Question 2. Solving Logistic Regression Numerically
Note: throughout this question do not use any existing implementations of any of the algorithms discussed unless explicitly asked to do so in the question. Using existing implementations can result in a grade of zero for the entire question. In this question we will compare gradient descent and Newton’s algorithm for solving the logistic regression problem. Recall that in logistic regresion, our goal is to minimize the log-loss, also referred to as the cross entropy loss. Consider an intercept β0 ∈ R, parametervectorβ=(β1,...,βm)T ∈Rm,targetyi ∈{0,1}andinputvectorxi =(xi1,xi2,...,xip)T. Consider also the feature map φ : Rp → Rm and corresponding feature vector φi = (φi1 , φi2 , . . . , φim )T where φi = φ(xi). Define the (l2-regularized) log-loss function:
12λ􏰈n􏰃􏰁1􏰂 􏰁1􏰂􏰄
L(β0, β) = 2 ∥β∥2 + n
where σ(z) = (1+e−z)−1 is the logistic sigmoid, and λ is a hyper-parameter that controls the amount of regularization. Note that λ here is applied to the data-fit term as opposed to the penalty term directly, but all that changes is that larger λ now means more emphasis on data-fitting and less on regularization. Note also that you are provided with an implementation of this loss in helper.py.
(a) Show that the gradient descent update (with step size α) for γ = [β0, βT ]T takes the form

what to submit: your working out.
(b) In what follows, we refer to the version of the problem based on L(β0,β) as the Primal version. Consider the re-parameterization: β = 􏰇nj=1 θjφ(xj). Show that the loss can now be written as:

Write down exact expressions for A and bxi in terms of k(xi,xj) := ⟨φ(xi),φ(xj)⟩ for i,j = 1,...,n. Further, for the dual parameter η = [θ0,θT ]T , show that the gradient descent update is given by:

If m ≫ n, what is the advantage of the dual representation relative to the primal one which just makes use of the feature maps φ directly? what to submit: your working along with some commentary.
(c) We will now compare the performance of (primal/dual) GD and the Newton algorithm on a real dataset using the derived updates in the previous parts. To do this, we will work with the songs.csv dataset. The data contains information about various songs, and also contains a class variable outlining the genre of the song. If you are interested, you can read more about the data here, though a deep understanding of each of the features will not be crucial for the purposes of this assessment. Load in the data and preform the follwing preprocessing:
(I) Remove the following features: ”Artist Name”, ”Track Name”, ”key”, ”mode”, ”time signature”, ”instrumentalness”
(II) The current dataset has 10 classes, but logistic regression in the form we have described it here only works for binary classification. We will restrict the data to classes 5 (hiphop) and 9 (pop). After removing the other classes, re-code the variables so that the target variable is y = 1 for hiphop and y = 0 for pop.
(III) Remove any remaining rows that have missing values for any of the features. Your remaining dataset should have a total of 3886 rows.
(IV) Use the sklearn.model selection.train test split function to split your data into X train, X test, Y train and Y test. Use a test size of 0.3 and a random state of 23 for reproducibility.
(V) Fit the sklearn.preprocessing.MinMaxScaler to the resulting training data, and then use this object to scale both your train and test datasets so that the range of the data is in (0, 0.1).
(VI) Print out the first and last row of X train, X test, y train, y test (but only the first 3 columns of X train, X test).
What to submit: the print out of the rows requested in (VI). A copy of your code in solutions.py
(d) For the primal problem, we will use the feature map that generates all polynomial features up to and including order 3, that is:
φ(x) = [1,x1,...,xp,x31,...,x3p,x1x2x3,...,xp−1xp−2xp−1].
In python, we can generate such features using sklearn.preprocessing.PolynomialFeatures.
For example, consider the following code snippet:
1 2 3 4 5
1if you need a sanity check here, the best thing to do is use sklearn to fit logistic regression models. This should give you an idea of what kind of loss your implementation should be achieving (if your implementation does as well or better, then you are on the right track)

poly = PolynomialFeatures(3)
X = np.arange(6).reshape(3, 2)

Transform the data appropriately, then run gradient descent with α = 0.4 on the training dataset for 50 epochs and λ = 0.5. In your implementation, initalize β(0) = 0, β(0) = 0 , where 0 is the
0pp p-dimensional vector of zeroes. Report your final train and test losses, as well as plots of training loss at each iteration. 1 what to submit: one plot of the train losses. Report your train and test losses, and
a screen shot of any code used in this section, as well as a copy of your code in solutions.py.

(e) Fortheprimalproblem,runthedampenedNewtonalgorithmonthetrainingdatasetfor50epochs and λ = 0.5. Use the same initialization for β0,β as in the previous question. Report your final train and test losses, as well as plots of your train loss for both GD and Newton algorithms for all iterations (use labels/legends to make your plot easy to read). In your implementation, you may use that the Hessian for the primal problem is given by:

where D is the n × n diagonal matrix with i-th element σ(di)(1 − σ(di)) and di = β0 + φTi β. what to submit: one plot of the train losses. Report your train and test losses, and a screen shot of any code used in this section, as well as a copy of your code in solutions.py.
(f) For the feature map used in the previous two questions, what is the correspongdin kernel k(x, y) that can be used to give the corresponding dual problem? what to submit: the chosen kernel.

(g) Implement Gradient Descent for the dual problem using the kernel found in the previous part. Use the same parameter values as before (although now θ(0) = 0 and θ(0) = 0 ). Report your final

training loss, as well as plots of your train loss for GD for all iterations. what to submit: a plot of the
train losses and report your final train loss, and a screen shot of any code used in this section, as well as a copy of your code in solutions.py.
(h) Explain how to compute the test loss for the GD solution to the dual problem in the previous part. Implement this approach and report the test loss. what to submit: some commentary and a screen shot of your code, and a copy of your code in solutions.py.
(i) In general, it turns out that Newton’s method is much better than GD, in fact convergence of the Newton algorithm is quadratic, whereas convergence of GD is linear (much slower than quadratic). Given this, why do you think gradient descent and its variants (e.g. SGD) are much more popular for solving machine learning problems? what to submit: some commentary
