## P0
We use CIFAR10 dataset (https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kriz/cifar.html) for our experiments.
### How To Run
Firstly download CIFAR10 dataset.
bash
wget https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kriz/cifar-10-python.tar.gz
tar -xvzf cifar-10-python.tar.gz
Then run main.py:
bash
python main.py --dataset_dir path/to/cifar-10-batches-py --save_dir path/to/save/dir --batch_size batch size --epochs num epochs --learning_rate learning rate --gpu_id gpu id(default: -1 means no gpu used)
## P0 Training Curves
### Logistic Regression
### SVM
### MLP
## P0 Results
The results are summarized in Table I.
Table I: Training curves of LR (top left), SVM (top right), MLP (bottom left) trained with different hyperparameters. The horizontal axis denotes training epochs while vertical axis denotes accuracy.
## P0 Experiments
We perform several experiments on CIFAR10 dataset:
### MLP with Different Activation Functions
We train MLP with ReLU activation function and compare it with MLP using tanh activation function.
Training curves are shown below:
It is clear that ReLU performs better than tanh.
### Effectiveness of Dropout Regularization
We train MLP with dropout regularization using different dropout probability values:
It shows that dropout regularization does help improve performance when probability value is not too large or too small.
### Effectiveness of Batch Normalization
We train MLP with batch normalization:
It shows that batch normalization helps improve performance by making convergence faster.
## P0 Discussion
In this project we learn how to use PyTorch framework to implement different machine learning models.
Firstly we implement logistic regression model which performs best among all three models we tried.
Then we implement SVM using SGD optimizer which achieves comparable results with logistic regression model.
Finally we implement multilayer perceptron which achieves best performance among all three models when using appropriate hyperparameters.
