The Perceptron - Supplementary material Points in general position Points not in general position Definition: p points in dimension N are in general position iff no subset of size less than N is linearly dependent = generic case, typically true for points chosen at random

In terms of hyperplanes: in general position not in general position Definition: p points in dimension N are in general position iff no subset of size less than N is linearly dependent = generic case, typically true for points chosen at random

Cover result: = number of dichotomies of p points in dimension N Recursion : one shows that In the space of patterns p + 1 points. Dichotomies of the p points: A = those which can be realized by an hyperplane passing through the new point B = those for which this is not the case Clearly: In the case of zero threshold (hyperplanes passing through the origin), one shows:

proof in the case of zero threshold: hyperplanes passing through the origin new point Every hyperplane in this set goes through the origin and the (p+1)th point. Projection of each hyperplane and of each one of the p points, onto the (N- 1)-dim space orthogonal to [O, (p+1)th point]. Each projection is a linear separation (passing through the origin) of the projected p points. Figure from Hertz, Krogh, and Palmer, 1991 back
