10 Perceptrons as Logic Gates Threshold needed to produce AND OR NOT a a 2 - θ r =.5 θ r = 0.5 θ r = -0.5 Linear separability: a 2 a 2 a 2 a a a Perceptron Learning Rule If the target output for unit r is t r w ri = w ri + "(t r # a r )a i η > 0 δ r = t r - a r Equivalent to the intuitive rules: If output is correct: don t change the weights If output is low (a r =0, t r =): If output is high (a r =, t r =0): Must also adjust threshold: increment weights for inputs = decrement weights for inputs = " r = " r # $(t r # a r ) (or, equivalently, assume there is a weight w r0 for an extra input unit that has a 0 =-: bias node) 0

11 Example of Perceptron Learning θ r =.0 w ri = w ri + "(t r # a r )a i " r = " r # $(t r # a r ) Suppose η = 0. and t r = 0 + Perceptron Learning Algorithm repeatedly iterate through examples adjusting weights using perceptron learning rule until all outputs correct initialize the weights randomly or to all zero until outputs for all training examples are correct for each training example do compute the current output a r compare it to the target t r and update weights each pass through the training data is an epoch when will the algorithm terminate?

12 Perceptron Properties Perceptron Convergence Theorem: If there are a set of weights that are consistent with the training data (i.e., the data is linearly separable), the perceptron learning algorithm will converge on a solution. Perceptrons can only represent linear threshold functions and can therefore only learn functions that linearly separate the data, i.e., the positive and negative examples are separable by a hyperplane in n-dimensional space. Unfortunately, some functions (like xor) cannot be represented by a LTU. Error Backpropagation widely used neural network learning method seminal version about 960 (Rosenblatt) multiple versions since basic contemporary version popularized 985 uses multi-layer feedforward network 2

13 Uses Layered Feedforward Network O output units H hidden units I input units Representation Power of Multi-Layer Networks Theorem: any boolean function of N inputs can be represented by a network with one layer of hidden units. XOR a a 2 θ 3 =.5-2 a 3 a 4 θ 4 = 0.5 θ r = 0.5 a r = a 4 ~ a 3 = or(a,a 2 ) ~and(a,a 2 ) a r 3
