ASSIGNMENT 1

1. Compare and contrast biological neuron and artificial neuron.

2. Why is the McCullough-Pitts neuron widely used in logic functions? Indicate the
difference between excitatory and inhibitory weighted interconnections.
3. Use the Hebb rule method to implement XOR function (take bipolar inputs and
targets). Justify- XOR function is non-linearly separable by a single decision
boundary line.
4. Finds the weights required to perform the following classifications using perceptron
network. The vectors (1,1,-1,-1) and (1,-1,1,-1) are belong to the class (so have target
value 1), vector(-1,-1,-1,1) and (-1,-1,1,1) are not belonging to the class (so have
target value -1). Assume learning rate 1 and initial weights as 0.
5. Implement AND function using Adaline network with bipolar inputs and targets.
