Learning Neural Networks: Perceptron and Backpropagation

Toets

Two main forms of learning

The Perceptron by Frank Rosenblatt (1958, 1962)

Very simple example

Learning problem to be solved

Answer

Perceptron algorithm in words

Perceptron algorithm in rules

Perceptron algorithm as equation

Perceptron algorithm in pseudo-code

Perceptron convergence theorem

The Perceptron was a big hit

Limitations of the Perceptron

Only binary input-output values

Only two layers

Exclusive OR (XOR)

An extra layer is necessary to represent the XOR

Minsky and Papert book caused the `first wave' to die out

Error-backpropagation

Error-backpropagation by Rumelhart, Hinton, and Williams

The problem to be solved

The backprop trick

Characteristics of backpropagation

The gradient descent makes sense mathematically

Logistic function

Backpropagation algorithm in rules

Weight change and momentum

Backpropagation in equations I

Backpropagation in equations II

Backpropagation in equations III

NetTalk: Backpropagation's `killer-app'

Despite its popularity backpropagation has some disadvantages

Good points

Conclusion
