Cost function Definition and 23 Threads

Hello, Im currently hearing a module about quantum computing and Im wondering what is the difference of a loss and cost function for variational quantum algortihms? Both functions also can be presented into a loss/cost landscape? Are they the same ? Already a big thank you for all the upcoming...

This is an issue I've been stuck on for about two weeks. No matter how many times I take this derivative, I keep getting the same answer. However, this answer is inevitably wrong. Please help me to understand why it incorrect. To start, I will define an input matrix ##X##, where ##n## is the...

I just went over analysis of a data set that was analzed using Linear Regression (OLS, I believe) and I saw Newton's method was used. Just curious, how is it used? I assume to minimize the cost function, but this function was not made explicit. Anyone know? Thanks.

Hey! :o Can the minimum of the average variable cost function be negative? (Wondering) Suppose we have the cost function $K(x)=x^3-9x^2+11x+100$. The variable cost function is then $K_v(x)=x^3-9x^2+11x$. The average variable cost is $k_v(x)=\frac{K_v(x)}{x}=\frac{x^3-9x^2+11x}{x}=x^2-9x+11$...

I'm trying to optimize the function below, but I'm not sure where I made a mistake. (This is an application in machine learning.)$$J(\theta)=\sum_{i=1}^n \left(\sum_{j=1}^{k}(\theta^Tx^{(i)}-y^{(i)})_j^2\right)$$ where $\theta$ is a $n$ by $k$ matrix and $x$ is a $n$ by 1 matrix...

Hi I am using a convolution neural network (with inversion) to simulate images with the same "texture" as the input image, using a random image to start with. The activations of the CNN are first learned with an example or source image. A cost function then minimizes the difference between the...

Could someone please help me work through the differentiation in a paper (not homework), I am having trouble finding out how they came up with their cost function. The loss function is L=wE, where E=(G-Gest)^2 and G=F'F The derivative of the loss function wrt F is proportional to F'(G-Gest)...

I am just starting a course about machine learning and I don't know how to interpret the cost function. When the teacher draws the straight line in the x and y coordinates, it looks like: I see that theta zero is the start of the straight line (in the left side) in the Y coordinate. The...

Hello. I need some guidance on the derivation of the derivatives of the quadratic cost function (CF) in an artificial neural network. I can derive the equations for the forward propagation with no trouble but when it comes to finding the derivative of the CF with respect to the weight matrix...

Homework Statement Trying to determine appropriate cost function for my start up. Usually total cost= fixed costs + per unit cost* Q. However, it is usually assumed your fixed costs are monthly recurring costs, like rent, utilities, etc. Many of the costs we face are one time development costs...

Here is the question: I have posted a link there to this topic so the OP can see my work. edit: Unfortunately, the OP deleted the question before I had a chance to post my response there.

Hi there, I have an equation below for the cost of energy for a house per hour. The house has an energy storage system (i.e.a very large battery) installed. You can charge the battery up and energy from the battery can be used to power the building. For example you can charge the battery...

Homework Statement If I said minimize the cost function |a-2b| + |-3a-b| subject to 2a + b <= 6 a,b >= 0 We can all see it's 0,0 but if I want to apply the simplex algorithm to it, how do I reformulate the problem into something I can use Homework Equations The Attempt at...

Hi, I am studying logistic regression and gradient ascent and have seen it used with a cost function and without one. Could anyone tell me why you would use a cost function? It seems just as effective without one. alpha = .05 h = data * weights error = labels - sigmoid(h)...

Homework Statement The objective is to minimize J(x) = \int y^2 (x+y)^2 dy, where x is the design variable.The Attempt at a Solution I first integrate over y to get J(x) = \frac{x^2 y^3}{3} + \frac{y^5}{5} + \frac{2x y^4}{4} Now, I differentiate over x, and solve for the minimizer, the...

Hi all, I have a MIMO system which I have developed in Simulink and I have also work out the Model predictive control for it. Now I have a manipulated variable which I want to be used during night and remained turned off during day. I have tried but could not figure out how to do this in...

q = 3K^0.5 L^0.5 where q is the number of engines per week, K is the number of machines, and L is the number of labor. Each assembly machine rents for r = $9000 per week, and each team costs w = $4000 per week. Engine costs are given by the cost of labor teams and machines. Suppose the...
