UNIT -2(Part1)

FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT OF ARTIFICIAL NETWORKS

Models of ANN :-
Model of ANN are specified by the three basic entities namely:-
(1) Model’s Synaptic Connection
(2) Training or Learning Rules adopted for updating and adjusting the
connection weights
(3) Activation functions
• (1)Model’s Synaptic Connection

(A) Single Layer Feed Forward network

(B) Multilayers Feed Forward Network
(C) Single node with its own feedback
(D) Single Layer recurrent network
(E) Multilayer recurrent network
• (2) Training or Learning Rules
 Supervised Learning - Providing the
network with a series of sample inputs and
comparing the output with the expected
responses.

 Unsupervised Learning - Most similar input

vector is assigned to the same output unit.

 Reinforcement Learning - Right answer is

not provided but indication of whether ‘right’
or ‘wrong’ is provided.
• (3) Activation functions:

(A) Identity

(B) Binary step

(C) Bipolar step

(D) Binary sigmoidal

(E) Bipolar sigmoidal

(F) Ramp
