| | | | | [AI summary] This text explains how a single perceptron can learn basic Boolean functions like AND, OR, and NOT, but fails to learn the non-linearly separable XOR function. This limitation led to the development of modern artificial neural networks (ANNs). The transition from single perceptrons to ANNs involves three key changes: 1) Adding multiple layers of perceptrons to create Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) networks, enabling modeling of complex non-linear relationships. 2) Introducing non-linear activation functions like sigmoid, tanh, and ReLU to allow networks to learn non-linear functions. 3) Implementing backpropagation and gradient descent algorithms for efficient training of multilayer networks. These changes allow ANNs to overcome the limitations of ... | |

| | | | | [AI summary] The text provides an in-depth explanation of the backpropagation algorithm in neural networks. It starts by discussing the concept of how small changes in weights propagate through the network to affect the final cost, leading to the derivation of the partial derivatives required for gradient descent. The explanation includes a heuristic argument based on tracking the perturbation of weights through the network, resulting in a chain of partial derivatives. The text also touches on the historical context of how backpropagation was discovered, emphasizing the process of simplifying complex proofs and the role of using weighted inputs (z-values) as intermediate variables to streamline the derivation. Finally, it concludes with a citation and licens... | |
