University of Virginia Chapter 5 Artificial Neural Network Discussion Questions

0 comments

Chapter 5 –discussion question #1-4 & exercise 6 & internet exercise #7 (go to  neuroshell.com click on the examples and look at the current examples listed, the Gee Whiz example is no longer on the page).

Discussion Questions:

1. What is an artificial neural network and for what types 

of problems can it be used?

2. Compare artificial and biological neural networks. What 

aspects of biological networks are not mimicked by artificial ones? What aspects are similar?

3. What are the most common ANN architectures? For 

what types of problems can they be used?

4. ANN can be used for both supervised and unsupervised 

learning. Explain how they learn in a supervised mode 

and in an unsupervised mode.

Excercise:6

Go to Google Scholar (scholar.google.com). Conduct a search to find two papers written in the last five years that compare and contrast multiple machine-learning 

methods for a given problem domain. Observe commonalities and differences among their findings and prepare a report to summarize your understanding.

Exercise :7

Go to neuroshell.com. Look at Gee Whiz examples. Comment on the feasibility of achieving the results 

claimed by the developers of this neural network model

Please find attached textbook for reference.
