Task 4 Flashcards
What is meant by connectionism ?
- human mental processes (such as learning) can be explained by the computational modelling of neural nets
- Computational modeling is INSPIRED by neuronally information processing
How do human neurons generally work ?
- One neuron passes info to the next neuron
- learning changes the strength between neurons
- Work parallel
- Information proccessing is distributed over many neurons
What are the 5 Assumptions of neuronal or connectionim network ?
- intergrate info and need to overome a treshold
- Neurons give info about there input lvl via the first firing rate of the output
- Brain structues work in layers (hierarchically / transformation of represntation)
- The influence of one to another neuron depends on the strength
- Learning is achieved by changing the strength between two neurons
What is meant by weight ?
- amount of connectons between neurons
What is meant by the activation function?
- Different functions representing the activation of the ouput of a neuron
- linear, threshold binary and sigmoid
What is meant by the linear activation function ?
What ever I put in is what I will get out 1 = 1
- f(x) = x
What is meant by the thershold activation function ?
- if my input was larger then some threshold then it is equal to the input
- f(x)>0
- if smaller then the threshold then the output is zero
What is meant by the binary activation function ?
- if my input is larger then my threshold then it would be one
What is meant by the sigmoid activation function ?
- it is a super complicated function which represnt that a variety of function can be used as a Activation function
- it is also the best function to ensures that theactivty can not go beyond a fixed minimum
What is meant by the output function in the equation principle ?
- determines the output actually sends onwards
- usually in conncetionist model it is a liner function 1=1
- usually in biological model it is not linear
What is meant by the bias ?
- it is just the same as the threshold but a negative thershold
- the negative threshold can learn to identify the optimal threshold
What are some properties of the connectionist model ? (Task 3: Why are neuronal networks so key for machine learning ?)
- AI are damage resistant and resistant to fault tolerant
- Allow for content addressable memory (cue activates a pattern of memory)
- Tries to satisfy/compromise as much as it can regarding the constraints
Why are connectionsist model so damage resistant and resistant to fault tolerant ?
- No individual neuron/ connection is crucial
- If one neuron is incorrect the population will make up for it (graceful degregation)
What are the two type of neuronal networks ?
- pattern associator
- Autoassociator
What is meant by the pattern associator ?
- Describes how different stimuli become linked when they are repeatedly presented together (training) in a learning period
- can generalize from existing input which means it can respond to novel inputs and is damage resistent
- have been used to model the function of memory
- consist of input and output unit each input unit is connected to all output unit
- it is a non recurrent network
