python - 在 Python 中实现梯度下降并收到溢出错误

Question

梯度下降和溢出误差

我目前正在 python 中实现向量化梯度下降。但是，我仍然收到溢出错误。不过，我的数据集中的数字并不是很大。我正在使用这个公式:

我选择此实现是为了避免使用衍生工具。有人对如何解决这个问题有任何建议还是我实现错误？预先感谢您!

## Cleaning Data ##
import math
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

data = pd.read_csv('anime.csv')
# print(data.corr())
# print(data['members'].isnull().values.any()) # Prints False
# print(data['rating'].isnull().values.any()) # Prints True

members = [] # Corresponding fan club size for row 
ratings = [] # Corresponding rating for row

for row in data.iterrows():
    if not math.isnan(row[1]['rating']): # Checks for Null ratings
        members.append(row[1]['members'])
        ratings.append(row[1]['rating'])


plt.plot(members, ratings)
plt.savefig('scatterplot.png')

theta0 = 0.3 # Random guess
theta1 = 0.3 # Random guess
error = 0

公式

def hypothesis(x, theta0, theta1):
    return  theta0 + theta1 * x

def costFunction(x, y, theta0, theta1, m):
    loss = 0 
    for i in range(m): # Represents summation
        loss += (hypothesis(x[i], theta0, theta1) - y[i])**2
    loss *= 1 / (2 * m) # Represents 1/2m
    return loss

def gradientDescent(x, y, theta0, theta1, alpha, m, iterations=1500):
    for i in range(iterations):
        gradient0 = 0
        gradient1 = 0
        for j in range(m):
            gradient0 += hypothesis(x[j], theta0, theta1) - y[j]
            gradient1 += (hypothesis(x[j], theta0, theta1) - y[j]) * x[j]
        gradient0 *= 1/m
        gradient1 *= 1/m
        temp0 = theta0 - alpha * gradient0
        temp1 = theta1 - alpha * gradient1
        theta0 = temp0
        theta1 = temp1
        error = costFunction(x, y, theta0, theta1, len(y))
        print("Error is:", error)
    return theta0, theta1

print(gradientDescent(members, ratings, theta0, theta1, 0.01, len(ratings)))

错误

经过几次迭代后，在gradientDescent函数中调用我的costFunction给出了一个OverflowError:(34，“结果太大”)。但是，我希望我的代码能够不断打印出不断减小的错误值。

Answer 1

您的数据值确实非常大，这使得您的损失函数非常陡峭。结果是您需要一个微小 alpha，除非您将数据标准化为较小的值。如果 alpha 值太大，你的梯度下降会到处跳跃并且实际上发散，这就是你的错误率上升而不是下降的原因。

根据您当前的数据，alpha 值为 0.0000000001 将使误差收敛。经过 30 次迭代后，我的损失从:
