- Overview of Deep Learning Concepts: The lecture begins with a basic overview of fundamental deep learning and neural network concepts, establishing a common understanding for all participants.
- Deep Learning for Graphs: The primary focus is on deep learning applications in graph theory, particularly graph neural networks, and two specific architectures: Graph Convolutional Networks and G Deep Neural Networks.
- Supervised Learning as Optimization: Supervised learning is framed as an optimization problem, where the goal is to predict outputs (labels or classes) from given inputs, using a function parameterized by Theta. The discrepancy between predicted and true values is measured by a loss function.
- Gradient Descent and Optimization: The lecture covers the optimization of the objective function using gradient descent, including the importance of gradients and derivatives in determining the direction and rate of fastest function increase. It also discusses the practical aspects of training, like batch sizes, minibatch stochastic gradient descent, and the importance of validation sets.
- Chain Rule and Backpropagation in Neural Networks: The lecture delves into the computational aspects of deep learning, highlighting the simplicity of gradient computation in multi-layer neural networks due to the chain rule. It concludes with an explanation of how gradients are computed and used in stochastic gradient descent to optimize model parameters over multiple iterations.
