改善深层神经网络-week1编程题（GradientChecking）

1. Gradient Checking

你被要求搭建一个Deep Learning model来检测欺诈，每当有人付款，你想知道是否该支付可能是欺诈，例如该用户的账户可能已经被黑客掉。

但是，反向传播实现起来非常有挑战，并且有时有一些bug，因为这是一个mission-critical应用，你公司老板想让十分确定，你实现的反向传播是正确的。你需要用“gradient checking”来证明你的反向传播是正确的。

# Packages
import numpy as np
from testCases import *
from gc_utils import sigmoid, relu, dictionary_to_vector, vector_to_dictionary, gradients_to_vector

1.1 gradient checking 如何工作?

Backpropagation 计算梯度(the gradients) \(\frac{\partial J}{\partial \theta}\)， \(\theta\)代表着模型的参数，\(J\) 是使用前向传播和你的loss function来计算的。

前向传播十分容易，因此你使用计算 \(J\) 的代码 来确认计算 \(\frac{\partial J}{\partial \theta}\) 的代码

我们来看一下derivative (or gradient)的定义：

\[\frac{\partial J}{\partial \theta} = \lim_{\varepsilon \to 0} \frac{J(\theta + \varepsilon) - J(\theta - \varepsilon)}{2 \varepsilon} \tag{1}
\]

接下来：

• \(\frac{\partial J}{\partial \theta}\) 是你想要确保计算正确的
• 你可以计算\(J(\theta + \varepsilon)\) and \(J(\theta - \varepsilon)\)（这个例子中\(\theta\)是一个实数）。(已知J是正确的)

我们要使用公式(1) 和一个很小的数 \(\varepsilon\) 来保证你计算 \(\frac{\partial J}{\partial \theta}\) 的代码是正确的。

2. 1-dimensional gradient checking

只考虑一元线性函数 \(J(\theta) = \theta x\). The model contains only a single real-valued parameter \(\theta\), and takes \(x\) as input.

You will implement code to compute \(J(.)\) and its derivative \(\frac{\partial J}{\partial \theta}\). You will then use gradient checking to make sure your derivative computation for \(J\) is correct.

**Figure 1** : **1D linear model**

上图展示了关键的计算步骤: 首先开始于 \(x\), 随后评估 \(J(x)\) ("forward propagation"). 然后计算 the derivative \(\frac{\partial J}{\partial \theta}\) ("backward propagation").

Exercise: 实现这个简单函数的 "forward propagation" and "backward propagation" . I.e., 计算 \(J(.)\) ("forward propagation") 和 它关于 \(\theta\) 的导数("backward propagation"), 在两个函数里。

# GRADED FUNCTION: forward_propagation
def forward_propagation(x, theta):
    """
    Implement the linear forward propagation (compute J) presented in Figure 1 (J(theta) = theta * x)
    Arguments:
    x -- a real-valued input
    theta -- our parameter, a real number as well
    Returns:
    J -- the value of function J, computed using the formula J(theta) = theta * x
    """
    ### START CODE HERE ### (approx. 1 line)
    J = theta * x
    ### END CODE HERE ###
    return J

测试：

x, theta = 2, 4
J = forward_propagation(x, theta)
print ("J = " + str(J))

J = 8

Exercise: 现在，实现图1中反向传播（导数计算）步骤：计算 \(J(\theta) = \theta x\) 关于 \(\theta\) 的导数. 用 \(dtheta = \frac { \partial J }{ \partial \theta} = x\) 来保存你做的计算。

# GRADED FUNCTION: backward_propagation
def backward_propagation(x, theta):
    """
    Computes the derivative of J with respect to theta (see Figure 1).
    Arguments:
    x -- a real-valued input
    theta -- our parameter, a real number as well
    Returns:
    dtheta -- the gradient of the cost with respect to theta
    """
    ### START CODE HERE ### (approx. 1 line)
    dtheta = x
    ### END CODE HERE ###
    return dtheta

测试

x, theta = 2, 4
dtheta = backward_propagation(x, theta)
print ("dtheta = " + str(dtheta))

dtheta = 2

Exercise: 为了显示 backward_propagation() 函数是正确计算 the gradient \(\frac{\partial J}{\partial \theta}\), 让我们实现 gradient checking.

Instructions:

• 首先，计算 "gradapprox" 使用公式（1）和 一个很小的值 \(\varepsilon\).遵循以下步骤:
  1. \(\theta^{+} = \theta + \varepsilon\)
  2. \(\theta^{-} = \theta - \varepsilon\)
  3. \(J^{+} = J(\theta^{+})\)
  4. \(J^{-} = J(\theta^{-})\)
  5. \(gradapprox = \frac{J^{+} - J^{-}}{2 \varepsilon}\)
• 然后，使用backward propagation计算gradient , 并存储结果到变量 "grad"
• 最后, 计算 "gradapprox" 和 the "grad" 的相对偏差，使用下列公式:

\[difference = \frac {\mid\mid grad - gradapprox \mid\mid_2}{\mid\mid grad \mid\mid_2 + \mid\mid gradapprox \mid\mid_2} \tag{2}
\]

你需要三个步骤来计算这个公式：

• 1'. compute the numerator(分子) using np.linalg.norm(...)
• 2'. compute the denominator(分母). You will need to call np.linalg.norm(...) twice.
• 3'. divide them.
• 如果这个 difference 非常小 (小于 \(10^{-7}\)), gradient计算正确. 否则，错误.

# GRADED FUNCTION: gradient_check
def gradient_check(x, theta, epsilon = 1e-7):
    """
    Implement the backward propagation presented in Figure 1.
    Arguments:
    x -- a real-valued input
    theta -- our parameter, a real number as well
    epsilon -- tiny shift to the input to compute approximated gradient with formula(1)
    Returns:
    difference -- difference (2) between the approximated gradient and the backward propagation gradient
    """
    # Compute gradapprox using left side of formula (1). epsilon is small enough, you don't need to worry about the limit.
    ### START CODE HERE ### (approx. 5 lines)
    thetaplus = theta + epsilon
    thetaminus = theta - epsilon
    J_plus = forward_propagation(x, thetaplus)
    J_minus = forward_propagation(x, thetaminus)
    gradapprox = (J_plus - J_minus) / (2. * epsilon)
    ### END CODE HERE ###
    # Check if gradapprox is close enough to the output of backward_propagation()
    ### START CODE HERE ### (approx. 1 line)
    grad = backward_propagation(x, theta)
    ### END CODE HERE ###
    ### START CODE HERE ### (approx. 1 line)
    numerator = np.linalg.norm(grad - gradapprox)
    denominator = np.linalg.norm(grad) + np.linalg.norm(gradapprox)
    difference = numerator / denominator
    ### END CODE HERE ###
    if difference < 1e-7:
        print ("The gradient is correct!")
    else:
        print ("The gradient is wrong!")
    return difference

x, theta = 2, 4
difference = gradient_check(x, theta)
print("difference = " + str(difference))

The gradient is correct!

difference = 2.919335883291695e-10

上述计算检验正确。即，可以正确的计算反向传播。

现在，你的 cost function \(J\) has more than a single 1D input。当你训练一个神经网络，\(\theta\) 事实上由multiple matrices \(W^{[l]}\) and biases \(b^{[l]}\)组成，知道如何 梯度检验 高维度输入 非常重要。

3. N-dimensional gradient checking

下面进行梯度检验来确保你的梯度是正确的.

gradient checking 如何工作？.

As in 1) and 2), you want to compare "gradapprox" to the gradient computed by backpropagation. The formula is still:

\[\frac{\partial J}{\partial \theta} = \lim_{\varepsilon \to 0} \frac{J(\theta + \varepsilon) - J(\theta - \varepsilon)}{2 \varepsilon} \tag{1}
\]

但是, \(\theta\) 不再是标量. 而是一个叫 "parameters"的字典. 下面实现一个 "dictionary_to_vector()"(字典转向量). 它将"parameters" dictionary 转换成名为"values"的vector, 通过 reshaping all parameters (W1, b1, W2, b2, W3, b3) into vectors and concatenating(连接) them 获得.

The inverse function is "vector_to_dictionary"(向量转字典) which outputs back the "parameters" dictionary.

**Figure 2** : **dictionary_to_vector() and vector_to_dictionary()**
You will need these functions in gradient_check_n()

We have also converted the "gradients" dictionary into a vector "grad" using gradients_to_vector(). You don't need to worry about that.

Exercise: Implement gradient_check_n().

Instructions: 这里的伪代码(pseudo-code)将帮助你实现梯度检测(the gradient check).

For each i in num_parameters:

• To compute J_plus[i]:
  1. Set \(\theta^{+}\) to np.copy(parameters_values) (深拷贝)
  2. Set \(\theta^{+}_i\) to \(\theta^{+}_i + \varepsilon\)
  3. Calculate \(J^{+}_i\) using to forward_propagation_n(x, y, vector_to_dictionary(\(\theta^{+}\) )).
• To compute J_minus[i]: do the same thing with \(\theta^{-}\)
• Compute \(gradapprox[i] = \frac{J^{+}_i - J^{-}_i}{2 \varepsilon}\)

Thus, you get a vector gradapprox, where gradapprox[i] is an approximation of the gradient with respect to parameter_values[i]. You can now compare this gradapprox vector to the gradients vector from backpropagation. Just like for the 1D case (Steps 1', 2', 3'), compute:

\[difference = \frac {\| grad - gradapprox \|_2}{\| grad \|_2 + \| gradapprox \|_2 } \tag{3}
\]

There is a mistake in the backward propagation! difference = 0.2850931566540251

可以看出，在 backward_propagation_n代码中有一些错误。

现在，我们修复这个错误，再来运行一下上面代码：

    dA2 = np.dot(W3.T, dZ3)
    dZ2 = np.multiply(dA2, np.int64(A2 > 0))
#     dW2 = 1./m * np.dot(dZ2, A1.T) * 2                  # 这里故意写错
    dW2 = 1./m * np.dot(dZ2, A1.T)                       # 修复
    db2 = 1./m * np.sum(dZ2, axis=1, keepdims = True)
    dA1 = np.dot(W2.T, dZ2)
    dZ1 = np.multiply(dA1, np.int64(A1 > 0))
    dW1 = 1./m * np.dot(dZ1, X.T)
#     db1 = 4./m * np.sum(dZ1, axis=1, keepdims = True)   # 这里故意写错
    db1 = 1./m * np.sum(dZ1, axis=1, keepdims = True)   # 修复

重新运行 backward_propagation_n()

输出：

Your backward propagation works perfectly fine! difference = 1.1885552035482147e-07

Note

• Gradient Checking is slow! Approximating the gradient with \(\frac{\partial J}{\partial \theta} \approx \frac{J(\theta + \varepsilon) - J(\theta - \varepsilon)}{2 \varepsilon}\) 计算非常耗时. 因此， 我们在训练集上不是每一次迭代都运行梯度检测. 仅几次验证梯度是否正确，然后关掉它。
• Gradient Checking, 不能和dropout一起工作. 你可以关掉 dropout 再运行 the gradient check algorithm 来确保你的 backprop 是正确的, 然后再打开dropout.
