Questions and Answers
Why is the XOR gate problematic with the Perceptron algorithm?
The XOR gate is problematic because it is not linearly separable, meaning a single Perceptron cannot learn to classify its inputs correctly.
How can the XOR gate problem be solved?
The XOR gate problem can be solved by using multilayer Perceptrons (neural networks) with hidden layers.
How can you compute the accuracy of a Perceptron model on the Pima dataset?
The accuracy of a Perceptron model on the Pima dataset can be computed by comparing the predicted class labels with the actual class labels and calculating the percentage of correct predictions.
How can you ensure that you are testing the generalization capabilities of the Perceptron model on the Pima dataset?

Study Notes
Learning Rate
- Simple approaches to learning rate include pre-established fixed values, linear decay, and exponential decay
- Advanced gradient descent schemes like Adam, RMSprop, and Adagrad can automatically adapt the learning rate
Overtraining
- Overtraining occurs when a network starts to over-fit the training data, learning specificities that are no longer related to the average function
- Over-fitting can be moderated using techniques like regularization, but monitoring is necessary to stop training at the right time
Monitoring Overtraining
- Confusion matrices provide more precise results than average accuracy and can detect overtraining
- Results should be represented using "observational proportions" to account for imbalanced datasets
Constructing a Deep Neural Network
- To tackle complex problems, more neurons are required, which can be stacked independently in a layer (Perceptron)
- Multiple layers can be stacked to create a Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP)
- Activation functions must be changed to allow non-linear combinations, such as using the sigmoid function
- The sigmoid function is continuous, preserves binary behavior, and has a nice derivative form
- For regression problems, the output layer can use sigmoids or linear activation functions, as previous layers handle non-linearity
- Stacking layers with sigmoid activation allows the construction of complex functions, such as reconstructing hill shapes, bumps, and point-like functions
