深層学習の形式で対数関数のパーセプトロンを考えてみました。

I explored a perceptron using logarithmic functions in a deep learning framework.

重みを

Let the weights be as follows:

w[0]
=
\begin{pmatrix}
1 & -1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1 & -1
\end{pmatrix}

w[1]
=
\begin{pmatrix}
0.5\\
0.5\\
0.5\\
-0.5
\end{pmatrix}

とし

Using these weights, we obtain the following.

入力値とw[0]の積

Product of the input and w[0]

\begin{aligned}
\begin{pmatrix}
a & b
\end{pmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix}
1 & -1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1 & -1
\end{pmatrix}
=
\begin{pmatrix}
a & -a & b & -b
\end{pmatrix}
\end{aligned}

中間層入力

Hidden layer input

\begin{aligned}
&
\begin{pmatrix}
log(log|a|^a) & log(log(|a|^{−a})) & log(log|b|^b) & log(log(|b|^{−b}))
\end{pmatrix}
\\
=&
\begin{pmatrix}
log(alog|a|) & log(-alog|a|) & log(blog|b|) & log(-blog|b|))
\end{pmatrix}
\end{aligned}

中間層出力とw[1]の積

Product of the hidden layer output and w[1]

\begin{aligned}
&
\begin{pmatrix}
log(alog|a|) & log(-alog|a|) & log(blog|b|) & log(-blog|b|))
\end{pmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix}
0.5\\
0.5\\
0.5\\
-0.5
\end{pmatrix}
\\
=&
0.5log(alog|a|) + 0.5log(-alog|a|) + 0.5log(blog|b|) - 0.5log(-blog|b|)
\\
=&
0.5\log\left(a\log\lvert a\rvert\right)
+
0.5\log\left(\frac{\log\lvert a\rvert}{a}\right)
+
0.5\log\left(b\log\lvert b\rvert\right)

最も簡単な場合、上記条件を満たせば$a^b$を出力することができます。

In the simplest case, the network can output $a^b$ if the conditions above are satisfied.

初期値を乱数(-1.0~1.0)で決めてから学習を繰り返すと目標値に収束するか試してみました。

I tested whether repeated training would converge to the target values after initializing the weights with random values between -1.0 and 1.0.

結論から言いますと失敗しました。

問題点をAIに相談したところ

When I asked an AI about the problems, it identified the following issues:

・複素対数の枝が不連続に変化する。

・The branch of the complex logarithm changes discontinuously.

・複素数の内部計算に対して、実部だけを使った更新は厳密な勾配降下法ではない。

・When internal computations involve complex numbers, updating the weights using only the real parts is not strictly gradient descent.

・中間層が 0、絶対値=1 付近で勾配が発散する。

・The gradients diverge when the hidden layer inputs approach 0 or have an absolute value close to 1.

・出力層の exp(exp(x)) が極端に不安定である。

・The output layer's exp(exp(x)) is extremely unstable.

これらの問題点があり考え直しました。

These issues led me to reconsider the approach.

元の活性化関数では、負入力に対して

For a negative input, the original activation function gives

\log\left(\log\left(|-a|^{-a}\right)\right)
=
\log(-a\log a)

となり、

which is not equal to

\log\left(\frac{\log a}{a}\right)

にはなりません。そのため、元の式をそのまま計算すると a^b ではなく a^a になります。

Therefore, evaluating the original expression as written gives a^a rather than a^b.

そこで、共通活性化関数を

I therefore defined the shared activation function as

g(z)
=
\log\left(
|z|^{\operatorname{sgn}(z)}
\log|z|
\right)

すなわち

or equivalently,

g(z)
=
\operatorname{sgn}(z)\log|z|
+
\log(\log|z|)

としました。

This is the activation function used below.

\begin{aligned}
g(a)
&=
\log(a\log a),
\\
g(-a)
&=
\log\left(\frac{\log a}{a}\right),
\\
g(b)
&=
\log(b\log b),
\\
g(-b)
&=
\log\left(\frac{\log b}{b}\right).
\end{aligned}

したがって、

It follows that

\begin{aligned}
q
&=
\frac{1}{2}g(a)
+
\frac{1}{2}g(-a)
+
\frac{1}{2}g(b)
-
\frac{1}{2}g(-b)
\\
&=
\log(\log a)+\log b
\\
&=
\log(b\log a).
\end{aligned}

最後に、

Finally,

p
=
\exp(\exp(q))
=
\exp(b\log a)
=
a^b

となります。

This gives the desired result.

最も簡単な場合、上記条件を満たせば$a^b$を出力することができます。

In the simplest case, the network can output $a^b$ if the conditions above are satisfied.
