This is amazing. Using just a little bit of what I was able to learn from part 3, namely the Kaiming init, and turning back on the learning rate decay, I was able to achieve 2.03 and 2.04 in my test and validation with a 1.89 in my training loss with just 300k iterations and 23k parameters. I set my block size to 4 and my embeddings to 12 and increased my hidden layer to 300 while decaying my learning rate exponent from -1 to -3 linear space over the 300k steps. All that without even using batch normalization yet. After applying batch norm, was able to get these down to 1.99 and 1.98 with training loss in the 1.7s after a little more tweaking. Really good content in this lecture, it really has me feeling like a chef in the kitchen almost, cooking up a model with a few turns of the knobs...This sounds like a game or a problem that can be solved with an AI trained on turning knobs.

[@peterwangsc]

intuition: why 4 block size instead of 3 block size? well the english language i think has an average of somewhere between 3 to 5 characters per syllable, which most 1 syllable names falling between that 3-5 character bucket and some 2 syllable names falling in that 4-6 character bucket and beyond. I wanted a block size that would give some better indication on whether we're in a one syllable or two syllable context, and so we could end up with some more pronounceable names. It also just made sense to scale up the dimension of embeddings and neurons to give a little more nuance to the relationships between the different context blocks. English has so many different rules when it comes to vowels and silent letters and so I felt like we needed to give enough room for 3-4 degrees of freedom for each character in the context block, and therefore needed more neurons in the net to account for those extra dimensions. running the model for more steps just allows the convergence to happen. I don't know if it could get much better after more steps but this took 6-7 minutes to run so I think i squeezed all that I could out of these hyperparams.

Much thanks, Andrej! I increased the embedding dimension to 5 from 2, initialized the model parameters from a uniform distribution [0, 1) instead of a standard normal distribution, increased the batch size to 128, and used the sigmoid activation for the hidden layer instead of the hyperbolic tangent, and was able to get the negative log-likelihood for the train and validation sets down to ~2.15, respectively.

I believe that at 49:22 the losses and the learning rates are misaligned. The first loss (derived from completely random weights) is computed before the first learning rate is used, and therefor the first learning rate should be aligned with the second loss.

29:20 we can also use torch.reshape() to get the right shape for W. However, there is a difference between torch.view and torch.reshape TL;DR: If you just want to reshape tensors, use torch.reshape. If you're also concerned about memory usage and want to ensure that the two tensors share the same data, use torch.view.

[@alelmcity]

Hi Andrej, Really amazing work, big thank you! However, I am a bit confused about specifying a good initial learning rate. because in the presented approach the recoded loss of a learning rate is affected by the previous optimization iterations. Shouldn't we for each learning rate optimize for a certain number of iterations, save the average loss and then reinitialize the params and off to the next learning rate? Finally, select the best-performing learning rate.

[@styssine]

I'm confused too. Shouldn't there be a double loop, with outer loop scanning the learning rates, and the inner loop doing a relatively small number of iterations?

[@JayPinho]

Great video! One question, @AndrejKarpathy: around 50:30 or so you show how to graph an optimal learning rate and ultimately you determine that the 0.1 you started with was pretty good. However, unless I'm misunderstanding your code, aren't you iterating over the 1000 different loss function candidates while *simultaneously* doing 1000 consecutive passes over the neural net? Meaning, the loss will naturally be lower during later iterations since you've already done a bunch of backward passes, so the biggest loss improvements would always be stacked towards the beginning of the 1000 iterations, right? Won't that bias your optimal learning rate calculation towards the first few candidates?

[@bres6486]

I found this a little confusing too since the expectation is to do 1000 steps of gradient descent with each learning rate separately. I think this trick of simultaneously changing learning rate while training (on mini-batches) is just a quick way to broadly illustrate how learning rate changes impact the loss. If the learning rate is too low initially then the loss will decrease very slowly, which is what happens. When the learning rate increases the loss decrease is more rapid. When the learning rate is too high the loss becomes unstable (can increase).

[@ncheymbamalu4013]

Andrej, I was able to get a train and validation cross-entropy of 2.0243 and 2.1333, respectively. The hyperparameters that were changed were...the number of characters used to predict the next character (from 3 to 5), the length of each embedding vector (from 2 to 27, i.e., the number of tokens), and the batch size (from 32 to 128). Also, after optimizing the learning rate, I took the average of the 10 learning rates that produced the lowest cross-entropy and trained the model with it. Finally, I decreased that 'averaged' learning rate even further by an order of two magnitudes and trained the model one last time. In short, a lot of experimentation was required. Haha.

[@lashgar]

If you wonder what does the second dimension of matrix 27xN C represent/learns, it is a set of "word features". Every word (actually a token in Andrew's example) is represented in N dimensional space and the model learns N different features of the word. The feature vector can be used for classification of the word and yield higher probability for the word in the sentences training didn't see by leveraging weights trained by its neighbors in the cluster. The paper is great source to learn more, as Andrej emphasized.

[@alexanderliapatis9969]

I am into neural nets the last 2 years and i think i know some stuff about them (the basics at least) and i have taken a couple of courses and stuff about ml/dl. I was always wandring why do i need val and test set, why test the model on 2 different sets of the same data. So hearing that the val set is for finetuning of hyperparameters is a first for me and the fact that you use test set a few times in order to avoid overfitting on it as well. I am amazed by the content on your videos and the way you teach things. Keep up the good work, you are making the community a better place.

[@tarakivu8861]

I dont understand the overuse of the test-set. I mean we are only forward-passing that to evaluate the performance, so we arent learning anything? I can maybe see it when the dev sees the result and changes the network to better fit the test-case? But thats good isnt it?

[@debdeepsanyal9030]

@@tarakivu8861 For the people later who will maybe stumble upon this comment and probably has the same doubt, here's an intuition i have that gives me a pretty thorough understanding. Say you are studying for an exam, and you use your textbooks for learning (note the use of learning here as well). Now, you want to know how good you're doing with the content you're learning from the textbooks, hence you give a mock exam, which kind of replicates the feeling of the final exam you're going to give. So you give test on the mock paper, and you note the mistakes or errors you are making on the mock paper, and you keep studying the text books and you give the mock test over and over again, periodically. After some time, you kind of have an estimate of how well you are going to do in the final exam based off the results you are getting on the mock exam. Here, learning from the textbooks is the model training on the train set. The mock exam, is the validation set. The final exam (which you just give once), is like the test set. Note that Dev set doesn't really change the network in any form or matter, it just gives us an estimate of how the model can perform on the test set. It's like if you are performing bad on the mock test, you know you can't make stuff better for the final exam.

@00:45:40 'Finding a good initial learning rate', each learning rate is used just one time. The adjustment of the parameter of one learning rate is based on the parameters already adjusted using the prior smaller learning rates. I feel that each of the 1,000 learning rate candidates should go through the same number of iterations. Then, the losses at the end of the iterations are compared. Please tell me if I am wrong. Thanks!

[@wolk1612]

each time you make exponentially bigger steps, so you can neglect previous path. It's like if you make one step toward your goal, and than make another 10 steps your overall path is not really affected by you first step. And generally you want to find the biggest number of steps (lr) which you should take in some direction (gradient) to not overshoot your goal (best model weights) to get there faster.

[@myao8930]

Thanks! The instructor says the test should not be run many times since each time the model learns something from the test data. In the test, the parameters are not adjusted. How can the model learn from the test data?@@wolk1612

An alternative to emb.view(-1, 6) is emb.flatten(start_dim=1) which also returns a view in this case and has the advantage of not having to specify the length of the concatenated embeddings.

[@AlexLukeKoval]

Hi @AndrejKarpathy 17,000 words in 30 dimensions is not cramped at all. 2^30 ≈ 1 billion. This means that 30 dimensions can support 1 billion points with each point being on the opposite side of axis to every other point. Consider the 3D case: with 8 points forming a cube around the origin (1,1,1) (1,1,-1)...(-1,-1,-1) For each point, every other point is on the opposite side of at least one axis, they are at least distance 2 apart. Each point has it's own 'corner' of the space - it's the same in 30 dimensions.

[@LambrosPetrou]

Awesome videos, thank you for that! I have a question though about 45:00, "finding a good initial learning rate", which is either a mistake in the video or I misunderstood something. In the video, you iterate over the possible learning rates, while we do a single training iteration. This means that the learning rates towards the end are going to have a smaller loss (usually), than the first learning rates. This seems to be biasing towards choosing learning rates from the end. Shouldn't we have another outer loop that iterates the learning rates, and then an inner loop that does our actual training PER learning rate, and then keep track of the final loss per learning rate? Thanks!

[@pranjaldasghosh2588]

i believe this may not prove necessary as he re-initialises the weights for every learning rate, thus starting with a fresh slate

[@КонстантинДемьянов-л2п]

not sure why you keep mentioning that ideal model would have probabilities of 1 assigned to the next character. this would only be true in situation when in training data there isn't a single case of the same two characters followed by two different characters.

[@Oler-yx7xj]

I assume he means an ideal model with an ideal architecture, not just one of this specific architecture ideally trained.

[@LusidDreaming]

He explains later why you cannot achieve an ideal model because of this very reason. He's using the term "ideal model" to refer to a model with a loss of 0, which he then later explains is impossible because the dataset is not one-to-one. In general, an "ideal" classification model will output a probability of 1 for the correct class, which is the only way to achieve zero loss against a one-hot encoding. This is more of a theoretical idea than an actual goal in most cases.

The dataset consists of the set of unique names, which tends to over-emphasise weird names and eccentric spellings. The generated names are representative of the dataset but less representative of real names. To avoid the problem we could weight the dataset by frequency of name usage in the real world.

Wow! I have longed to learn about hyper-parameters and training in a nutshell. Another Aha moment for me in Deep Learning. Thanks a trillion.
