This class describes a neural network.

There are facilities to train the network and use the output.

The input layer is made of inactive neurons (returning the optionally normalized input) and output neurons are linear. The type of hidden neurons is free, the default being sigmoids. (One should still try to pass normalized inputs, e.g. between [0.,1])

The basic input is a TTree and two (training and test) TEventLists. Input and output neurons are assigned a value computed for each event with the same possibilities as for TTree::Draw(). Events may be weighted individually or via TTree::SetWeight(). 6 learning methods are available: kStochastic, kBatch, kSteepestDescent, kRibierePolak, kFletcherReeves and kBFGS.

This implementation, written by C. Delaere, is inspired from the mlpfit package from J.Schwindling et al. with some extensions:

the algorithms are globally the same
in TMultilayerPerceptron, there is no limitation on the number of layers/neurons, while MLPFIT was limited to 2 hidden layers
TMultilayerPerceptron allows you to save the network in a root file, and provides more export functionalities
TMultilayerPerceptron gives more flexibility regarding the normalization of inputs/outputs
TMultilayerPerceptron provides, thanks to Andrea Bocci, the possibility to use cross-entropy errors, which allows to train a network for pattern classification based on Bayesian posterior probability.

Introduction

Neural Networks are more and more used in various fields for data analysis and classification, both for research and commercial institutions. Some randomly chosen examples are:

image analysis
financial movements predictions and analysis
sales forecast and product shipping optimisation
in particles physics: mainly for classification tasks (signal over background discrimination)

More than 50% of neural networks are multilayer perceptrons. This implementation of multilayer perceptrons is inspired from the MLPfit package originally written by Jerome Schwindling. MLPfit remains one of the fastest tool for neural networks studies, and this ROOT add-on will not try to compete on that. A clear and flexible Object Oriented implementation has been chosen over a faster but more difficult to maintain code. Nevertheless, the time penalty does not exceed a factor 2.

The MLP

The multilayer perceptron is a simple feed-forward network with the following structure:

It is made of neurons characterized by a bias and weighted links between them (let's call those links synapses). The input neurons receive the inputs, normalize them and forward them to the first hidden layer.

Each neuron in any subsequent layer first computes a linear combination of the outputs of the previous layer. The output of the neuron is then function of that combination with f being linear for output neurons or a sigmoid for hidden layers. This is useful because of two theorems:

A linear combination of sigmoids can approximate any continuous function.
Trained with output = 1 for the signal and 0 for the background, the approximated function of inputs X is the probability of signal, knowing X.

Learning methods

The aim of all learning methods is to minimize the total error on a set of weighted examples. The error is defined as the sum in quadrature, divided by two, of the error on each individual output neuron. In all methods implemented, one needs to compute the first derivative of that error with respect to the weights. Exploiting the well-known properties of the derivative, especially the derivative of compound functions, one can write:

for a neuron: product of the local derivative with the weighted sum on the outputs of the derivatives.
for a synapse: product of the input with the local derivative of the output neuron.

This computation is called back-propagation of the errors. A loop over all examples is called an epoch. Six learning methods are implemented.

Stochastic minimization:

is the most trivial learning method. This is the Robbins-Monro stochastic approximation applied to multilayer perceptrons. The weights are updated after each example according to the formula: $w_{ij}(t+1) = w_{ij}(t) + \Delta w_{ij}(t)$

with

$\Delta w_{ij}(t) = - \eta(d e_p / d w_{ij} + \delta) + \epsilon \Delta w_{ij}(t-1)$

The parameters for this method are Eta, EtaDecay, Delta and Epsilon.

Steepest descent with fixed step size (batch learning):

It is the same as the stochastic minimization, but the weights are updated after considering all the examples, with the total derivative dEdw. The parameters for this method are Eta, EtaDecay, Delta and Epsilon.

Steepest descent algorithm:

Weights are set to the minimum along the line defined by the gradient. The only parameter for this method is Tau. Lower tau = higher precision = slower search. A value Tau = 3 seems reasonable.

Conjugate gradients with the Polak-Ribiere updating formula:

Weights are set to the minimum along the line defined by the conjugate gradient. Parameters are Tau and Reset, which defines the epochs where the direction is reset to the steepest descent.

Conjugate gradients with the Fletcher-Reeves updating formula:

Weights are set to the minimum along the line defined by the conjugate gradient. Parameters are Tau and Reset, which defines the epochs where the direction is reset to the steepest descent.

Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfarb, Shanno (BFGS) method:

Implies the computation of a NxN matrix computation, but seems more powerful at least for less than 300 weights. Parameters are Tau and Reset, which defines the epochs where the direction is reset to the steepest descent.

How to use it...

TMLP is build from 3 classes: TNeuron, TSynapse and TMultiLayerPerceptron. Only TMultiLayerPerceptron should be used explicitly by the user.

TMultiLayerPerceptron will take examples from a TTree given in the constructor. The network is described by a simple string: The input/output layers are defined by giving the expression for each neuron, separated by comas. Hidden layers are just described by the number of neurons. The layers are separated by colons. In addition, input/output layer formulas can be preceded by '@' (e.g "@out") if one wants to also normalize the data from the TTree. Input and outputs are taken from the TTree given as second argument. Expressions are evaluated as for TTree::Draw(), arrays are expended in distinct neurons, one for each index. This can only be done for fixed-size arrays. If the formula ends with "!", softmax functions are used for the output layer. One defines the training and test datasets by TEventLists.

Example:

TMultiLayerPerceptron("x,y:10:5:f",inputTree);

TMultiLayerPerceptron::TMultiLayerPerceptron

TMultiLayerPerceptron()

Default constructor.

Definition TMultiLayerPerceptron.cxx:264

Both the TTree and the TEventLists can be defined in the constructor, or later with the suited setter method. The lists used for training and test can be defined either explicitly, or via a string containing the formula to be used to define them, exactly as for a TCut.

The learning method is defined using the TMultiLayerPerceptron::SetLearningMethod() . Learning methods are :

A weight can be assigned to events, either in the constructor, either with TMultiLayerPerceptron::SetEventWeight(). In addition, the TTree weight is taken into account.

Finally, one starts the training with TMultiLayerPerceptron::Train(Int_t nepoch, Option_t* options). The first argument is the number of epochs while option is a string that can contain: "text" (simple text output) , "graph" (evoluting graphical training curves), "update=X" (step for the text/graph output update) or "+" (will skip the randomisation and start from the previous values). All combinations are available.

Example:

net.Train(100,"text, graph, update=10");

When the neural net is trained, it can be used directly ( TMultiLayerPerceptron::Evaluate() ) or exported to a standalone C++ code ( TMultiLayerPerceptron::Export() ).

Finally, note that even if this implementation is inspired from the mlpfit code, the feature lists are not exactly matching:

mlpfit hybrid learning method is not implemented
output neurons can be normalized, this is not the case for mlpfit
the neural net is exported in C++, FORTRAN or PYTHON
the drawResult() method allows a fast check of the learning procedure

In addition, the paw version of mlpfit had additional limitations on the number of neurons, hidden layers and inputs/outputs that does not apply to TMultiLayerPerceptron.

The network is described by a simple string: The input/output layers are defined by giving the branch names separated by comas.

Hidden layers are just described by the number of neurons. The layers are separated by colons.

Ex: "x,y:10:5:f"

The output can be prepended by '@' if the variable has to be normalized. The output can be followed by '!' to use Softmax neurons for the output layer only.

Ex: "x,y:10:5:c1,c2,c3!"

Input and outputs are taken from the TTree given as second argument. training and test are two cuts (see TTreeFormula) defining events to be used during the neural net training and testing.

Example: "Entry$%2", "(Entry$+1)%2".

Both the TTree and the cut can be defined in the constructor, or later with the suited setter method.

Hidden layers are just described by the number of neurons. The layers are separated by colons.

Ex: "x,y:10:5:f"

The output can be prepended by '@' if the variable has to be normalized. The output can be followed by '!' to use Softmax neurons for the output layer only.

Ex: "x,y:10:5:c1,c2,c3!"

Input and outputs are taken from the TTree given as second argument. training and test are two cuts (see TTreeFormula) defining events to be used during the neural net training and testing.

Example: "Entry$%2", "(Entry$+1)%2".

Both the TTree and the cut can be defined in the constructor, or later with the suited setter method.
