Theory of Convolutional Neural Networks

Let [math]\displaystyle{ \boldsymbol{x}_{i:i+j} }[/math] be the concatenation of words [math]\displaystyle{ \boldsymbol{x}_i, \boldsymbol{x}_{i+1}, \dots, \boldsymbol{x}_{i+j} }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ \boldsymbol{x}_{i:i+j} = \boldsymbol{x}_i \oplus \boldsymbol{x}_{i+1} \oplus \dots \oplus \boldsymbol{x}_{i+j} }[/math], where [math]\displaystyle{ \oplus }[/math] is the concatenation operation. Then, a sentence of length [math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math] is the concatenation of [math]\displaystyle{ n }[/math] words, denoted as [math]\displaystyle{ \boldsymbol{x}_{1:n} }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ \boldsymbol{x}_{1:n} = \boldsymbol{x}_1 \oplus \boldsymbol{x}_2 \oplus \dots \oplus \boldsymbol{x}_n }[/math]. Let [math]\displaystyle{ \boldsymbol{x}_i \in \mathbb{R}^k }[/math] denote the [math]\displaystyle{ i }[/math]-th word in the sentence, [math]\displaystyle{ i \in \left{ 1, \dots, n \right} }[/math].

A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a nonlinear function [math]\displaystyle{ f: \mathbb{R}^{hk} \to \mathbb{R} }[/math] that computes a series of outputs [math]\displaystyle{ c_i = f \left( \boldsymbol{w} \cdot \boldsymbol{x}_{i:i+h-1} + b \right) }[/math] from windows of [math]\displaystyle{ h }[/math] words [math]\displaystyle{ \boldsymbol{x}_{i:i+h-1} }[/math] in the sentence, where [math]\displaystyle{ \boldsymbol{w} \in \mathbb{R}^{hk} }[/math] is call a filter and [math]\displaystyle{ i \in \left{ 1, \dots, n-h+1 \right} }[/math]. The outputs form a [math]\displaystyle{ (n-h+1) }[/math]-dimensional vector [math]\displaystyle{ \boldsymbol{c} = \left[ c_1, c_2, \dots, c_{n-h+1} \right] }[/math] called a feature map.

To capture the most important feature from a feature map, we take the maximum value [math]\displaystyle{ \hat{c} = max \left{ \boldsymbol{c} \right} }[/math].
