Then H(x µi if and only if f is µ-strongly convex. 叩 サ翻匂 ア ' 引ス, う ' プ叫い 劃っー ト勺い曰 ( 少 = 明 四平ル 〆ュ " 当っ沙, ム ' = 凸 ト翻 団 団 ((kð 繼な = ー 少ー仞 ララロ = タソ 当 らりた ノ区ぅ物 7 区り ツ くー 冂引 tm 当叫 4 弓 は翆つ, 帰 - ⅶ 函イ ソう鬥い, b Show that for a differentiable µ-strongly convex function, the distance x x 2 from the point x to the minimizer x can be bounded solely by the norm of the gradient, f(x 2 : x x 2 2 µ f(x 2. 3

4 5 3 Binary logistic regression Logistic regression is an important tool in statistics and has various applications in machine learning and data mining for the classification of data. The binary logistic model with parameter ˆx R p yields the probability of the class b {, } given a certain sample a R n : P(b a = + exp( ba T ˆx Unfortunately, the parameter ˆx is usually unknown and we have to estimate it from data samples. Let a i R n be sampling points and b i be the associated binary class labels. Then, an approximation of the true parameter ˆx is given by the maximum log-likelyhood estimator x = argmin f(x, with f(x = x R p n log ( h(b i a T i x where h(t = /( + exp(t is the sigmoid function. Binary classification can hence be cast into an unconstrained optimization problem for the model parameters x (Note that we have introduced a minus sign to go from a maximization problem to a minimization problem. a Show that for a given data set {(a, b, (a 2, b 2,..., (a n, b n }, the objective function f is convex. To show that the function f(x = i= n log ( h(b i a T i x i= is convex, we will prove that the Hessian of f is positive semidefinite. The Hessian is given on the exercise sheet, H(x = A T D x A, with the data matrix A = [ a a 2... a n ] T and the diagonal matrix D x = diag (h(b a T x ( h(b a T x,..., h(b n a Tn x ( h(b n a Tn x 4

5 As h(t = +exp( t is easy to show that With this definition of g, we have, we have that g(t := h(t( h(t = exp( t D x = diag < g(t <, t R. 4 ( g(b a T x,..., g(b n a T n x (+exp( t 2, and it As g is strictly positive, we have that D x is a positive definite diagonal matrix. Thus, the square root of it exists, with { D 2 = diag g ( n b i a T i x}. To show that the Hessian H(x is positive semidefinite, we need to show that for any vector y R n with y it holds that y T H(xy y T A T D x Ay y T A T D 2 D 2 Ay i= y T A T D 2 D 2 Ay (D 2 Ay T (D 2 Ay D 2 Ay 2. which is clearly true as the norm is always nonnegative. b Is f strongly convex? For f to be strongly convex, it is necessary (but not sufficient! that the strict inequality y T H(xy > D 2 Ay 2 >. has to hold for all vectors y R n with y. In general, the data matrix A is not invertible, as its rows (the sample vectors are not necessarily linearly indepent, that is, it can happen that rank(a < min{n, p}. Hence, it may have a non-empty kernel, that is, we can find a z, and thus also z ker(a Az =. D 2 Az 2 =. Hence, f is in general not strictly convex and thus of course also not strongly convex. c Show that the Hessian of f is bounded for all x R p : H(x 2 < C. To show that H(x is bounded, we use the decomposition of H(x introduced in Exercise above and the fact that all induced matrix norms are submultiplicative, that is, H(x = AD x A A D x A = D x A 2. The diagonal matrix D x has entries g (b i a T (i x on the diagonal. As < g(t < 4 for all t R, we have D x = λ max (D x = max g (b i a T (i x i 4. Hence, the Hessian is bounded by H(x 4 A 2 indepent of x, as A are the training data samples. d What is the smallest Lipschitz constant L > you can find such that the gradient f is Lipschitz continuous, f(x f(y 2 L x y, x, y R p? A differentiable function is Lipschitz continuous if and only if its derivative is bounded. In this case, the gradient f is Lipschitz if the second derivative is bounded. This was shown in c, with L = 4 A 2 a possible Lipschitz constant. 5
