CSSE 313: Day 4

Outline

• Introduction to Neural Networks
• Activation functions
• Perceptrons
• Linear separability

Materials

• Wisdom from AI reserachers:
  • "No matter how bad things are ... You can always make them worse" Randy Pausch
  • "[AI] is like a sewer ... What you get out of it dependes on what you put into it." A slight adaptation of a Tom Lehrer quote
• Slides on neural networks and perceptrons.
• Narration of slides on neural networks and perceptrons. Please notice that the last figure in the narration slides, the one about XOR is incorrect. The output values are flipped. I correct this in the slides posted above and will re-record the narration soon.
