Study Notes

Neural Networks

A neural network is a bunch of neurons connected together.
It can have multiple layers, including an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer.
A hidden layer is any layer between the input layer and output layer.

Training a Neural Network

The process involves three steps: initialize weights, repeat forward and backward passes, and modify weights.
Forward pass: calculate outputs from inputs using current weights.
Backward pass: calculate error and modify weights to minimize error.

Feedforward Neural Network

Calculate outputs from inputs using current weights.
Output of one layer is used as input to the next layer.

Back Propagation

Calculate error and modify weights to minimize error.
Calculate errors for each layer, starting from the output layer and moving backwards.

XOR Problem

A simple neuron (perceptron) cannot classify XOR problem.
Solution is to add a hidden layer to create a multilayer perceptron (MLP).

Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)

A feedforward neural network with one or more hidden layers.
Can solve non-linear problems like XOR.

Example Neural Network

Given a neural network with 2 inputs, 2 hidden neurons, and 1 output neuron.
Calculate output using given weights and activation functions.

Building Blocks: Neurons

A neuron takes inputs, applies weights, adds bias, and passes through an activation function.
Activation function is used to turn an unbounded input into a predictable output.

Activation Function

A commonly used activation function is the sigmoid function.
Sigmoid function outputs numbers in the range (0,1) and compresses (-∞, +∞) to (0,1).

Linear Classifier

A simple neuron can solve linear classifier problems like OR.
But it cannot solve non-linear problems like XOR.
