Name:

Neural Nets: Practicing neural net error prop & learning

(NN Assignment # 1)

Note: This assignment will be submitted via canvas! You print out then write on the assignment, write the answers on a piece of paper, use a tablet, etc. Whatever you use, make sure it’s legible and we can understand what you’re writing. If we can’t understand it, you won’t get credit for it (and your grade will reflect that issue!)

Given the following initial network configuration and target function, name the weights of the network after one full epoch, when using incremental learning

Work alone for this exercise.

Target Function: XOR w/ two inputs

  • Input nodes: 2
  • Hidden Layers: 1, Hidden nodes: 2
  • Output nodes: 1
  • I1: 1, I2: 0
  • Weights: -0.37, 0.16, 0.34, -0.24; -0.11, -0.05
  • α : 0.2
  • All bias (or θ) : 0
  • Node’s activation function: Sigmoid function
