Step 1
Each neuron in the input layer represents a feature or attribute of the input data. The primary role of the input layer is to receive the raw data and pass it on to the subsequent layers for processing. It does not perform any computations; instead, it simply Show more…

Explain how a Multi-layer perception can address the limitation of a single layer perception.

Consider a three-layer fully-connected network with n1, n2, and n3 neurons in the three layers respectively. Inputs are fed into the first layer. The loss is the mean squared error, and the non-linearity is a sigmoid function. Let the label vector be t of size n3. Let each layer output vector be y and input vector be x, both of size ni. Let the weight matrix between layer i and layer i + 1 be W(i+1). The j-th element in yi is defined by yj = o(c(i-1)W(i-1),j-2,3), the same for the weight connecting the k-th and l-th neuron in layers i and i + 1, which is defined by W(i+1)kl. You do not need to consider bias in this problem. Input #1 Output #1 Input #2 Output #2 Input #3 Output #3 Input #4 Output #4 Figure 2: A three-layer fully-connected MLP network: Here is a summary of the notation: o(c) denotes the activation function for L2 and L3. There is no activation applied to the input layer. o(c(i-1)W(i-1),j-2,3) = o(c(i-1)W(i-1),j-2,3).

CASE STUDY: A neural network has a structure as shown in Figure below, assuming that all the activation functions are sigmoid. a. Explain briefly how neural networks differ from conventional computing. b. What are the neural networks limitations? c. Calculate the values of y12 and y22 when the input are x1=0.3, x2=0.5, when the weights and biases are: d. Find the values of y12 and y22 when the input are x1=0.9, x2=0.1, all activation functions are digital bi-polar, and use the same weights as in 3 above. e. Write a MATLAB program to evaluate the output y12 and y22. f. It should be submitted in a form of a report. g. The report to be presented in power point in the class room in front of classmate.
