Supervised Learning - Classification Week 9 Challenge
Q1. What is a Neural Network?
Ans. A neural network is a method in artificial intelligence that teaches computers to process data in a way that is inspired by the human brain. It is a type of machine learning process, called deep learning, that uses interconnected nodes or neurons in a layered structure that resembles the human brain.
Q2. What is deep learning?
Ans. Deep learning is a machine learning technique that teaches computers to do what comes naturally to humans: learn by example. Deep learning is a key technology behind driverless cars, enabling them to recognize a stop sign, or to distinguish a pedestrian from a lamppost.
Q3. What is the role of the activation function?
Ans. Deep learning is a machine learning technique that teaches computers to do what comes naturally to humans: learn by example. Deep learning is a key technology behind driverless cars, enabling them to recognize a stop sign, or to distinguish a pedestrian from a lamppost.
Q4. What are the different types of activation functions?
Ans. Popular types of activation functions and when to use them
- Binary Step Function. ...
- Linear Function. ...
- Sigmoid. ...
- Tanh. ...
- ReLU. ...
- Leaky ReLU. ...
- Parameterised ReLU. ...
- Exponential Linear Unit.
Q5. What do you understand by backpropagation?
Ans. Backpropagation, or backward propagation of errors, is an algorithm that is designed to test for errors working back from output nodes to input nodes. It is an important mathematical tool for improving the accuracy of predictions in data mining and machine learning.
