Deep learning frameworks are essential tools for building and training neural networks. In this presentation, we’ll create our own lightweight framework from scratch using Python. This will help us understand the core concepts behind popular frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch.

Here’s where it gets exciting! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np

class DeepLearningFramework:
    def __init__(self):
        self.layers = []
        self.loss = None
        self.optimizer = None

    def add(self, layer):
        self.layers.append(layer)

    def compile(self, loss, optimizer):
        self.loss = loss
        self.optimizer = optimizer

    def fit(self, X, y, epochs, batch_size):
        # Training logic will be implemented here
        pass

# Usage example
model = DeepLearningFramework()

🎉 You’re doing great! This concept might seem tricky at first, but you’ve got this! Implementing Layers - Made Simple!

Layers are the building blocks of neural networks. We’ll start by implementing a simple dense (fully connected) layer.

Let’s break this down together! Here’s how we can tackle this:

class Dense:
    def __init__(self, input_size, output_size):
        self.weights = np.random.randn(input_size, output_size) * 0.01
        self.bias = np.zeros((1, output_size))

    def forward(self, inputs):
        self.inputs = inputs
        return np.dot(inputs, self.weights) + self.bias

    def backward(self, grad):
        self.dweights = np.dot(self.inputs.T, grad)
        self.dbias = np.sum(grad, axis=0, keepdims=True)
        return np.dot(grad, self.weights.T)

# Usage
layer = Dense(input_size=10, output_size=5)
output = layer.forward(np.random.randn(1, 10))
print(output.shape)  # (1, 5)

🚀

✨ Cool fact: Many professional data scientists use this exact approach in their daily work! Activation Functions - Made Simple!

Activation functions introduce non-linearity to our network, allowing it to learn complex patterns. Let’s implement the ReLU activation function.

Here’s a handy trick you’ll love! Here’s how we can tackle this:

class ReLU:
    def forward(self, inputs):
        self.inputs = inputs
        return np.maximum(0, inputs)

    def backward(self, grad):
        return grad * (self.inputs > 0)

# Usage
relu = ReLU()
output = relu.forward(np.array([-1, 0, 1, 2]))
print(output)  # [0, 0, 1, 2]

🚀

🔥 Level up: Once you master this, you’ll be solving problems like a pro! Loss Functions - Made Simple!

Loss functions measure the difference between predicted and actual values. We’ll implement the Mean Squared Error (MSE) loss.

Ready for some cool stuff? Here’s how we can tackle this:

class MSE:
    def forward(self, y_true, y_pred):
        self.y_true = y_true
        self.y_pred = y_pred
        return np.mean(np.square(y_true - y_pred))

    def backward(self):
        return 2 * (self.y_pred - self.y_true) / self.y_true.size

# Usage
mse = MSE()
loss = mse.forward(np.array([1, 2, 3]), np.array([1.1, 2.2, 2.8]))
print(f"MSE Loss: {loss:.4f}")  # MSE Loss: 0.0233

🚀 Optimizers - Made Simple!

Optimizers update the model’s parameters to minimize the loss. We’ll implement the Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) optimizer.

Here’s where it gets exciting! Here’s how we can tackle this:

class SGD:
    def __init__(self, learning_rate=0.01):
        self.learning_rate = learning_rate

    def update(self, layer):
        layer.weights -= self.learning_rate * layer.dweights
        layer.bias -= self.learning_rate * layer.dbias

# Usage
optimizer = SGD(learning_rate=0.1)
layer = Dense(input_size=5, output_size=3)
# Assume we've computed gradients
layer.dweights = np.random.randn(5, 3)
layer.dbias = np.random.randn(1, 3)
optimizer.update(layer)

🚀 Building the Network - Made Simple!

Now let’s combine our components to create a simple neural network.

Ready for some cool stuff? Here’s how we can tackle this:

class NeuralNetwork(DeepLearningFramework):
    def forward(self, X):
        for layer in self.layers:
            X = layer.forward(X)
        return X

    def backward(self, grad):
        for layer in reversed(self.layers):
            grad = layer.backward(grad)

# Usage
model = NeuralNetwork()
model.add(Dense(input_size=2, output_size=3))
model.add(ReLU())
model.add(Dense(output_size=1))
model.compile(loss=MSE(), optimizer=SGD(learning_rate=0.01))

🚀 Training Loop - Made Simple!

The training loop is where our network learns from data. We’ll implement a basic loop with batch processing.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

def fit(self, X, y, epochs, batch_size):
    for epoch in range(epochs):
        for i in range(0, len(X), batch_size):
            X_batch = X[i:i+batch_size]
            y_batch = y[i:i+batch_size]

            # Forward pass
            y_pred = self.forward(X_batch)

            # Compute loss
            loss = self.loss.forward(y_batch, y_pred)

            # Backward pass
            grad = self.loss.backward()
            self.backward(grad)

            # Update weights
            for layer in self.layers:
                if hasattr(layer, 'weights'):
                    self.optimizer.update(layer)

        if epoch % 100 == 0:
            print(f"Epoch {epoch}, Loss: {loss:.4f}")

NeuralNetwork.fit = fit

🚀 Making Predictions - Made Simple!

After training, we need a way to use our model for predictions.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

def predict(self, X):
    return self.forward(X)

NeuralNetwork.predict = predict

# Usage example
X_train = np.random.randn(1000, 2)
y_train = np.sum(X_train, axis=1, keepdims=True)

model = NeuralNetwork()
model.add(Dense(input_size=2, output_size=3))
model.add(ReLU())
model.add(Dense(output_size=1))
model.compile(loss=MSE(), optimizer=SGD(learning_rate=0.01))

model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=1000, batch_size=32)

X_test = np.array([[1.0, 2.0]])
prediction = model.predict(X_test)
print(f"Prediction: {prediction[0][0]:.2f}, Expected: {np.sum(X_test):.2f}")

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler

# Load MNIST dataset
digits = load_digits()
X, y = digits.data, digits.target

# Preprocess data
scaler = StandardScaler()
X = scaler.fit_transform(X)

# Split data
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# One-hot encode targets
y_train_onehot = np.eye(10)[y_train]
y_test_onehot = np.eye(10)[y_test]

# Build model

model.add(Dense(input_size=64, output_size=32))
model.add(ReLU())
model.add(Dense(output_size=10))
model.compile(loss=MSE(), optimizer=SGD(learning_rate=0.01))

# Train model
model.fit(X_train, y_train_onehot, epochs=1000, batch_size=32)

# Evaluate model
predictions = model.predict(X_test)
accuracy = np.mean(np.argmax(predictions, axis=1) == y_test)
print(f"Test accuracy: {accuracy:.2f}")

🚀 Real-Life Example: Text Generation - Made Simple!

Let’s use our framework to build a simple character-level language model for text generation.

Don’t worry, this is easier than it looks! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import string

# Prepare data
text = "Hello, world! This is a simple example of text generation."
chars = string.printable
char_to_idx = {ch: i for i, ch in enumerate(chars)}
idx_to_char = {i: ch for i, ch in enumerate(chars)}

# Create sequences
seq_length = 10
X = []
y = []
for i in range(len(text) - seq_length):
    X.append([char_to_idx[ch] for ch in text[i:i+seq_length]])
    y.append(char_to_idx[text[i+seq_length]])

X = np.array(X) / len(chars)
y = np.eye(len(chars))[y]

# Build model
model = NeuralNetwork()
model.add(Dense(input_size=seq_length, output_size=128))
model.add(ReLU())
model.add(Dense(output_size=len(chars)))
model.compile(loss=MSE(), optimizer=SGD(learning_rate=0.01))

# Train model
model.fit(X, y, epochs=1000, batch_size=32)

# Generate text
seed = "Hello, wo"
generated_text = seed
for _ in range(50):
    x = np.array([[char_to_idx[ch] for ch in seed]]) / len(chars)
    pred = model.predict(x)
    next_char = idx_to_char[np.argmax(pred)]
    generated_text += next_char
    seed = seed[1:] + next_char

print(f"Generated text: {generated_text}")

🚀 Implementing Convolutional Layers - Made Simple!

Convolutional layers are crucial for image processing tasks. Let’s implement a basic 2D convolutional layer.

Don’t worry, this is easier than it looks! Here’s how we can tackle this:

    def __init__(self, input_channels, output_channels, kernel_size):
        self.input_channels = input_channels
        self.output_channels = output_channels
        self.kernel_size = kernel_size
        self.weights = np.random.randn(output_channels, input_channels, kernel_size, kernel_size) * 0.01
        self.bias = np.zeros((output_channels, 1))

    def forward(self, inputs):
        self.inputs = inputs
        batch_size, in_h, in_w, _ = inputs.shape
        out_h = in_h - self.kernel_size + 1
        out_w = in_w - self.kernel_size + 1
        
        output = np.zeros((batch_size, out_h, out_w, self.output_channels))
        
        for i in range(out_h):
            for j in range(out_w):
                input_slice = inputs[:, i:i+self.kernel_size, j:j+self.kernel_size, :]
                for k in range(self.output_channels):
                    output[:, i, j, k] = np.sum(input_slice * self.weights[k], axis=(1,2,3)) + self.bias[k]
        
        return output

    def backward(self, grad):
        # Implement backward pass (omitted for brevity)
        pass

# Usage
