7 Mamum Lkelhood Learnng Recall that the lkelhood functon s the probablt of the data D gven the parameters pd It s a functon of the parameters Mamum lkelhood learnng fnds the parameters that mamze ths lkelhood functon A common trck s to ork th -lkelhood,.e., take the arthm of the lkelhood functon pd

lkelhood learnng fnds the parameters that mamze ths lkelhood functon A

8 Computng the Lkelhood In our frameork, e assume each tranng eample, s dran ndependentl from the same but unknon dstrbuton, the famous dassumpton..d assumpton, hence e can rte D,, Jont dstrbuton a,b can be factored as a bb arg ma D arg ma arg ma,, Further, because t does not depend on, so: arg ma D arg ma, 8

.d assumpton, hence e can rte D,, Jont dstrbuton a,b can be factored as a bb

12 Connecton Beteen Logstc Regresson & erceptron Algorthm If e replace the stc functon th a step functon: h e f > 0 h 0 otherse Both algorthms uses the same updatng rule : η h 2

13 Mult-Class Cases Choose class K to be the reference class and represent each of the other classes as a stc functon of the odds of class k versus class K: of class k versus class K: 2 l K 2 2 K K M K K K Gradent ascent can be appled to smultaneousl tran all eght vectors k 3
