Study Notes

XOR Problem

The XOR problem illustrates the limitation of a single-layer perceptron.
XOR problem's input and output are not linearly separable.
The output 'XOR' is achieved using the combination of 'AND' and 'OR' operations.
The problem demonstrates the need for hidden layers to solve non-linearly separable problems.

De Morgan's Rule

The De Morgan's rule simplifies the logical expression of 'XOR' with the combination of 'AND' and 'OR' operations.
It can be proven that 'XOR' is equivalent to the logical operations 'AND' and 'OR' combined using De Morgan's Rule.

Hidden Layer and Representation

The hidden layer is introduced to address non-linear separability by introducing new features that represent the data in a higher-dimensional space.
The 'Hebbian Rule' suggests that the weights are adjusted by applying a small amount of gradient in the direction of the input pattern.
The hidden layer allows the network to learn complex relationships between inputs and outputs.

Delta Rule and Hebbian Learning

The Delta Rule is an 'Error Correction Rule' for learning, it changes the weights using the difference between target and output.
The Delta Rule is the basis for many neural network algorithms and is similar to the 'Hebbian Learning Rule'.

Perceptron Convergence Theorem

The Perceptron Convergence Theorem guarantees that the perceptron learning algorithm will converge to a solution for any linearly separable dataset in a finite number of steps.
The theorem proves the finite convergence using the upper and lower bounds of the weight vector's norm during the training process.

Differences Between Perceptron Algorithm and LMS Algorithm

The Perceptron algorithm and LMS algorithm both adjust weights based on errors but have different output functions and convergence properties.
The perceptron algorithm uses a threshold function, while the LMS algorithm directly uses the linear combination of weights and inputs.
The perceptron algorithm converges for linearly separable datasets, while the LMS algorithm can converge for both linear and non-linear datasets but may not always achieve zero classification errors.

Activation Functions

The activation function is introduced to introduce non-linearity, facilitating the learning of complex patterns.
It transforms the weighted sum of inputs into the output of a neuron.
The sigmoid function is used to introduce a smooth and differentiable non-linearity to the network.
The sigmoid function has the property of transforming a continuous range of values into a bounded interval [0, 1], making it easier to work with.
