Study Notes

Brute Force Method and MP Neuron

The brute force method is used to calculate the threshold value in a neural network.
The threshold value (b) is calculated by the brute force method, which is used in the McCulloch-Pitts (MP) Neuron model.

Limitations of MP Neuron

The MP Neuron model has limitations, including:
- Handling non-Boolean inputs
- The need to hand-code the threshold value
- Assumption that all inputs are equal
- Inability to assign more importance to some inputs
- Inability to handle functions that are not linearly separable, such as the XOR function

Solution for Limitations of MP Neuron

Frank Rosenblatt proposed the classical perceptron model in 1957, which overcomes the limitations of the MP Neuron model.
The perceptron model is a more generalized computational model that allows weights and thresholds to be learned over time.

Perceptron Model

A perceptron is an artificial neuron where the output is determined by a threshold function.
The perceptron model consists of:
- Input signals (x1, x2, ..., xn)
- Associated weights (w1, w2, ..., wn)
- Bias term (w0)
- Output determined by the threshold function

Artificial Neural Network (ANN)

An ANN models the relationship between input signals and an output signal.
ANN uses a network of artificial neurons or nodes to solve learning problems, inspired by the biological brain.

Biological Motivation

The biological brain uses a network of interconnected cells called neurons to process information.
Biological neurons receive incoming signals through dendrites, weight them according to importance, and transmit the output signal down the axon.

MP Neuron Model

The MP Neuron model was developed by McCulloch and Pitts in 1943.
The model has four basic components: inputs, adder function, activation function, and output.
The MP Neuron model is also known as the linear threshold gate model.

MP Neuron Model Components

Inputs: (x1, x2, ..., xm)
Adder function (g): applies weights to inputs and sums them
Activation function (f): determines the output based on the adder function value and threshold value
Output: Y

Weights, Adder Function, and Activation Function

Weights (w): parameters that show the contributing power of the input feature towards the output
Adder function (g): aggregates the product of inputs with weights
Activation function (f): decides whether the neuron input is relevant for model prediction or not based on the threshold value
