🧠 从生物神经元到人工神经元 {#生物神经元}

1. 生物神经元的启发

我们的大脑由约860亿个神经元组成。每个神经元的工作原理很简单：

1. 接收信号：从其他神经元接收电信号
2. 加权求和：不同输入有不同的重要性（权重）
3. 激活输出：超过阈值就发送信号给下一个神经元

2. 人工神经元模型

# 一个简单的神经元示例
import numpy as npclass SimpleNeuron:"""一个最简单的人工神经元"""def __init__(self, n_inputs):# 每个输入都有一个权重self.weights = np.random.randn(n_inputs)  # w1, w2, ..., wn# 一个偏置项（阈值）self.bias = np.random.randn()  # bdef forward(self, inputs):"""计算过程：output = w1*x1 + w2*x2 + ... + wn*xn + b"""weighted_sum = np.dot(inputs, self.weights) + self.biasreturn weighted_sum# 测试单个神经元
neuron = SimpleNeuron(3)  # 3个输入
x = np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])  # 输入信号
output = neuron.forward(x)
print(f"输入: {x}")
print(f"权重: {neuron.weights}")
print(f"偏置: {neuron.bias}")
print(f"输出: {output}")

3. 可视化单个神经元（完整PlantUML代码）

📐 Linear层的数学本质 {#数学本质}

1. 单个样本的计算

当我们有一个样本时，Linear层做的就是：

$$\mathbf{y}=\mathbf{x}\cdot {\mathbf{W}}^T+\mathbf{b}$$

其中：

• $\mathbf{x}$: 输入向量，形状 [in_features]
• $\mathbf{W}$: 权重矩阵，形状 [out_features, in_features]
• $\mathbf{b}$: 偏置向量，形状 [out_features]
• $\mathbf{y}$: 输出向量，形状 [out_features]

🎯 具体例子：

import torch
import torch.nn as nn# 创建一个Linear层：3个输入，2个输出
linear = nn.Linear(in_features=3, out_features=2)# 单个样本输入
x = torch.tensor([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])  # shape: [3]# 查看权重和偏置
print("权重矩阵 W:")
print(linear.weight)  # shape: [2, 3]
print("\n偏置向量 b:")
print(linear.bias)    # shape: [2]# 前向传播
y = linear(x)  # shape: [2]
print(f"\n输入 x: {x}")
print(f"输出 y: {y}")# 手动计算验证
y_manual = torch.matmul(x, linear.weight.T) + linear.bias
print(f"手动计算: {y_manual}")
print(f"结果一致: {torch.allclose(y, y_manual)}")

📊 分解计算过程：

# 让我们详细分解计算过程
def detailed_linear_computation(x, W, b):"""详细展示Linear层的计算过程输入:x: [3] - 输入向量W: [2, 3] - 权重矩阵b: [2] - 偏置向量输出:y: [2] - 输出向量"""print("="*50)print("🔍 Linear层计算详解")print("="*50)# 输入print(f"\n输入 x = {x.numpy()}")# 权重矩阵print(f"\n权重矩阵 W = ")print(W.numpy())# 偏置print(f"\n偏置 b = {b.numpy()}")# 计算第一个输出神经元y1 = W[0, 0] * x[0] + W[0, 1] * x[1] + W[0, 2] * x[2] + b[0]print(f"\ny[0] = W[0,0]*x[0] + W[0,1]*x[1] + W[0,2]*x[2] + b[0]")print(f"     = {W[0,0]:.2f}*{x[0]:.2f} + {W[0,1]:.2f}*{x[1]:.2f} + {W[0,2]:.2f}*{x[2]:.2f} + {b[0]:.2f}")print(f"     = {y1:.2f}")# 计算第二个输出神经元y2 = W[1, 0] * x[0] + W[1, 1] * x[1] + W[1, 2] * x[2] + b[1]print(f"\ny[1] = W[1,0]*x[0] + W[1,1]*x[1] + W[1,2]*x[2] + b[1]")print(f"     = {W[1,0]:.2f}*{x[0]:.2f} + {W[1,1]:.2f}*{x[1]:.2f} + {W[1,2]:.2f}*{x[2]:.2f} + {b[1]:.2f}")print(f"     = {y2:.2f}")# 最终输出y = torch.tensor([y1, y2])print(f"\n最终输出 y = {y.numpy()}")return y# 测试
x = torch.tensor([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
W = torch.tensor([[0.5, -0.3, 0.2],   # 第一个输出神经元的权重[0.1, 0.4, -0.2]])   # 第二个输出神经元的权重
b = torch.tensor([0.1, -0.5])y = detailed_linear_computation(x, W, b)

2. 批量样本的计算

当我们有多个样本（一个batch）时：

$$\mathbf{Y}=\mathbf{X}\cdot {\mathbf{W}}^T+\mathbf{b}$$

其中：

• $\mathbf{X}$: 输入矩阵，形状 [batch_size, in_features]
• $\mathbf{W}$: 权重矩阵，形状 [out_features, in_features]
• $\mathbf{b}$: 偏置向量，形状 [out_features]（广播到每个样本）
• $\mathbf{Y}$: 输出矩阵，形状 [batch_size, out_features]

# 批量样本示例
batch_size = 4
in_features = 3
out_features = 2# 创建Linear层
linear = nn.Linear(in_features, out_features)# 批量输入
X = torch.randn(batch_size, in_features)  # shape: [4, 3]
print(f"输入 X shape: {X.shape}")
print(f"输入 X:\n{X}")# 前向传播
Y = linear(X)  # shape: [4, 2]
print(f"\n输出 Y shape: {Y.shape}")
print(f"输出 Y:\n{Y}")# 验证每个样本的计算
print("\n逐样本验证:")
for i in range(batch_size):y_i = linear(X[i])print(f"样本{i}: 输入{X[i].shape} -> 输出{y_i.shape}")print(f"  与批量计算结果一致: {torch.allclose(Y[i], y_i)}")

3. 多维张量的处理

Linear层可以处理任意维度的输入，只要最后一维匹配即可：

def test_multidimensional_linear():"""测试Linear层处理多维输入"""linear = nn.Linear(10, 5)# 2D输入：[batch_size, in_features]x_2d = torch.randn(32, 10)y_2d = linear(x_2d)print(f"2D: {x_2d.shape} -> {y_2d.shape}")# 3D输入：[batch_size, seq_len, in_features]x_3d = torch.randn(32, 100, 10)y_3d = linear(x_3d)print(f"3D: {x_3d.shape} -> {y_3d.shape}")# 4D输入：[batch_size, height, width, in_features]x_4d = torch.randn(32, 28, 28, 10)y_4d = linear(x_4d)print(f"4D: {x_4d.shape} -> {y_4d.shape}")# 5D输入：[batch_size, time, height, width, in_features]x_5d = torch.randn(32, 10, 28, 28, 10)y_5d = linear(x_5d)print(f"5D: {x_5d.shape} -> {y_5d.shape}")return y_2d, y_3d, y_4d, y_5d# 运行测试
print("🔬 测试多维输入:")
