Lecture 5: Into to neural networks

Question 1

What is a neuron made of(3)?

Answer 1

-Dendrites: filaments that provide input to the neuron
-Axon: sends an output signal
-Synapses : connection with other neurons

Question 1

What are neural networks(3)?

Answer 1

-Inspired by biology(neurons in the human brain)
-Set of many simple processing units(neurons) connected together
-The behavior depends on weights on the connection between the neurons

Question 2

What happens if enough inputs are received at the same time?

Answer 2

-The neuron is activated and fires an output to its neighbors

Question 3

What is a perceptron?

Answer 3

A single computational neuron

Question 4

What is learning in perceptron and backpropagation?

Answer 4

Use the training data to adjust the weights in the percetron
