Part1:Building a recurrent neural network - step by step

来构建一个RNN的神经网络。

1 - Forward propagation for the basic Recurrent Neural Network

先来进行前向传播的构建，要构建这个网络，先构建每个RNN的传播单元：

RNN cell

1. Compute the hidden state with tanh activation: $a^{\langle t \rangle} = \tanh(W_{aa} a^{\langle t-1 \rangle} + W_{ax} x^{\langle t \rangle} + b_a)$
2. Using your new hidden state $a^{\langle t \rangle}$, compute the prediction $\hat{y}^{\langle t \rangle} = softmax(W_{ya} a^{\langle t \rangle} + b_y)$. We provided you a function: softmax.
3. Store $(a^{\langle t \rangle}, a^{\langle t-1 \rangle}, x^{\langle t \rangle}, parameters)$ in cache
4. Return $a^{\langle t \rangle}$ , $y^{\langle t \rangle}$ and cache

We will vectorize over $m$ examples. Thus, $x^{\langle t \rangle}$ will have dimension $(n_x,m)$, and $a^{\langle t \rangle}$ will have dimension $(n_a,m)$.

# GRADED FUNCTION: rnn_cell_forward

def rnn_cell_forward(xt, a_prev, parameters):
    """
    Implements a single forward step of the RNN-cell as described in Figure (2)

    Arguments:
    xt -- your input data at timestep "t", numpy array of shape (n_x, m).
    a_prev -- Hidden state at timestep "t-1", numpy array of shape (n_a, m)
    parameters -- python dictionary containing:
                        Wax -- Weight matrix multiplying the input, numpy array of shape (n_a, n_x)
                        Waa -- Weight matrix multiplying the hidden state, numpy array of shape (n_a, n_a)
                        Wya -- Weight matrix relating the hidden-state to the output, numpy array of shape (n_y, n_a)
                        ba --  Bias, numpy array of shape (n_a, 1)
                        by -- Bias relating the hidden-state to the output, numpy array of shape (n_y, 1)
    Returns:
    a_next -- next hidden state, of shape (n_a, m)
    yt_pred -- prediction at timestep "t", numpy array of shape (n_y, m)
    cache -- tuple of values needed for the backward pass, contains (a_next, a_prev, xt, parameters)
    """

    Wax = parameters["Wax"]
    Waa = parameters["Waa"]
    Wya = parameters["Wya"]
    ba = parameters["ba"]
    by = parameters["by"]
    
    ### START CODE HERE ### (≈2 lines)
    # compute next activation state using the formula given above
    a_next = np.tanh(np.dot(Waa, a_prev) + np.dot(Wax, xt) + ba)
    # compute output of the current cell using the formula given above

    # store values you need for backward propagation in cache
    cache = (a_next, a_prev, xt, parameters)
    
    return a_next, yt_pred, cache

RNN forward pass

思路是：

• 先把 a ,y_pred置为0
• 然后初始化a_next = a0
• 然后经过Tx个循环，求得每一步的a和y以及cache

# GRADED FUNCTION: rnn_forward

    return a, y_pred, caches

2 - Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network

接下来构建一个LSTM的网络

遗忘门：

假设我们正在阅读一段文字中的单词，并且希望使用LSTM来跟踪语法结构，例如主语是单数还是复数。 如果主语从单个单词变成复数单词，我们需要找到一种方法来摆脱先前存储的单数/复数状态的记忆值。

在LSTM中，遗忘门让我们做到这一点：

$\Gamma_f^{\langle t \rangle} = \sigma(W_f[a^{\langle t-1 \rangle}, x^{\langle t \rangle}] + b_f)$

更新门:

一旦我们忘记所讨论的主题是单数的，我们需要找到一种方法来更新它，以反映新主题现在是复数。

$\Gamma_u^{\langle t \rangle} = \sigma(W_u[a^{\langle t-1 \rangle}, x^{\{t\}}] + b_u)$

所以两个门结合起来可以更新单元值：

$\tilde{c}^{\langle t \rangle} = \tanh(W_c[a^{\langle t-1 \rangle}, x^{\langle t \rangle}] + b_c)$

KaTeX parse error: Expected '}', got '\>' at position 7: c^{<t\̲>̲} = \Gamma_f^{<…

输出门：

为了决定输出，我们将使用以下两个公式：

$\Gamma_o^{\langle t \rangle}= \sigma(W_o[a^{\langle t-1 \rangle}, x^{\langle t \rangle}] + b_o)$
$a^{\langle t \rangle} = \Gamma_o^{\langle t \rangle}* \tanh(c^{\langle t \rangle})$

LSTM 单元

• 先将 $a^{\langle t-1 \rangle}$ and $x^{\langle t \rangle}$连接在一起变成 $concat = \begin{bmatrix} a^{\langle t-1 \rangle} \\ x^{\langle t \rangle} \end{bmatrix}$
• 计算以上的6个公式
• 然后预测输出y
