Quiz Part 2: Advanced Deep Learning Frameworks
Answers
- Answer: The main difference is that static computation graphs are defined once and cannot change, while dynamic computation graphs are built as the computation progresses. PyTorch is considered more flexible because it uses a dynamic computation graph, allowing researchers to modify the network during runtime, making it ideal for experimentation.
- Answer: Key components include
nn.Module
(for defining layers and the forward pass),nn.Linear
(for fully connected layers), andnn.Conv2d
(for convolutional layers). These modules are used to build models by defining their architecture and forward pass, and are combined in aSequential
or custom class. - Answer: Autograd automatically computes gradients during the backward pass by tracking all operations on tensors. This enables the training of deep learning models through gradient descent by updating model parameters using these computed gradients.
- Answer: To fine-tune a pretrained model, you load the pretrained weights using
torchvision.models
, freeze the initial layers, and modify the final fully connected layer to match the number of classes in your new task. For example, to fine-tune ResNet:
model = models.resnet50(pretrained=True)
for param in model.parameters():
param.requires_grad = False
model.fc = nn.Linear(model.fc.in_features, num_classes)
- Answer: Transfer learning involves taking a pretrained model (usually on a large dataset) and fine-tuning it on a smaller, task-specific dataset. This approach leverages the general features learned in earlier layers of the model.
- Answer: The three main components of a CNN are:
- Convolutional Layers: Extract features from the input data by applying filters.
- Pooling Layers: Reduce the spatial dimensions of the data, keeping important information.
- Fully Connected Layers: Perform classification based on the extracted features.
- Answer: Max pooling reduces the size of the feature maps, which helps in lowering computational cost, preventing overfitting, and retaining the most important features by selecting the maximum value in each region of the feature map.
- Answer: Skip connections in ResNet allow the gradient to flow directly through the network by skipping over certain layers. This helps avoid the vanishing gradient problem, making it easier to train very deep networks.
- Answer: Inception modules apply multiple convolutional filters of different sizes in parallel to capture multi-scale features. This differs from traditional CNN layers, which apply only a single convolution operation at each layer.
- Answer: DenseNets connect each layer to every other layer in a feed-forward fashion, promoting feature reuse. In a DenseNet block, the output of each layer is concatenated with the outputs of all previous layers, which helps reduce overfitting and allows for more efficient training.
- Answer: Region proposal networks (RPN) generate candidate object regions (bounding boxes) in object detection tasks. These proposals are then passed to a classifier and regressor to refine the bounding boxes and predict the classes of the objects.
- Answer: Vanilla RNNs struggle with long-term dependencies due to the vanishing gradient problem. LSTMs address this limitation by introducing gates (forget, input, output) that control the flow of information and help maintain long-term memory.
- Answer: The forget gate decides what information to discard from the previous cell state, the input gate determines what new information should be added, and the output gate controls what part of the cell state is used to produce the hidden state.
- Answer: GRUs simplify the LSTM architecture by combining the forget and input gates into a single update gate. GRUs are generally more efficient than LSTMs because they have fewer parameters and are computationally lighter.
- Answer: Transformers do not rely on sequential processing and can process entire sequences at once using self-attention, allowing for better parallelization and handling of long-range dependencies in the data.
- Answer: Self-attention enables transformers to focus on different parts of the sequence by assigning different weights to each element. This allows the model to capture relationships between distant elements in the sequence without processing them step-by-step.
- Answer: Positional encodings are necessary because transformers do not inherently capture the order of the sequence, unlike RNNs. Positional encodings provide information about the relative position of each element in the sequence.
- Answer: Transformers are used in tasks like machine translation (e.g., Google Translate) by mapping an input sequence in one language to an output sequence in another language. In text summarization, transformers generate concise summaries by capturing the key points in the input text.
