Neuron output

The architecture of a backpropagation neuronal network is comparatively simple. The network consists of different neurone layers. The layer connected to the network input is called input layer while the layer at the network output is called the output layer. The different layers between input and output are named hidden layers. The number of neurones in the layers is determined by the developer of the network. Networks used for classification have commonly as much input neurones as there are features and as much output neurones as there are classes to be separated. 

An appropriate perceptron model for this problem is one that has two input neurons (corresponding to inputs X and X2) and one output neuron, whose value... 

Consider the Boolean exclusive-OR (or XOR) function that we used as an example of a linearly inseparable problem in our discussion of simple perceptrons. In section 10.5.2 we saw that if a perceptron is limited to having only input and output layers (and no hidden layers), and is composed of binary threshold McCulloch-Pitts neurons, the value y of its lone output neuron is given by... 

As we mentioned above, however, linearly inseparable problems such as the XOR-problem can be solved by adding one or more hidden layers to the perceptron. Figure 10.9, for example, shows a solution to the XOR-problem using a perceptron that has one hidden layer added to it. The numbers appearing by the links are the values of the synaptic weights. The numbers inside the circles (which represent the hidden and output neurons) are the required thresholds r. Notice that the hidden neuron takes no direct input but acts as just another input to the output neuron. Notice also that since the hidden neuron s threshold is set at r = 1.5, it does not fire unless both inputs are equal to 1. Table 10.3 summarizes the perceptron s output. 

The output layer likewise consists of as many neurons as are necessary to set up a natural cori espondence between the output neurons and the output-fact set. Using the same example of learning the alphabet, the output space might consist of 26 neurons, one for each letter of the alphabet. A perfect association between input and output facts would be to have - for each input letter - the value of the output neuron corresponding to the letter equal one and all other output neurons equal zero. 

Ef, as long as it is differentiable and is minimised by Of = Sf. One interesting form that has a natural interpretation in terms of learning the probabilities of a set of hypotheses represented by the output neurons, has recently been suggested by Hopfield [hopf87] and Banm and Wilczek [baumSSb] ... 

We have seen that the output neuron in a binary-threshold perceptron without hidden layers can only specify on which side of a particular hyperplane the input lies. Its decision region consists simply of a half-plane bounded by a hyperplane. If one hidden layer is added, however, the neurons in the hidden layer effectively take an intersection (i.e. a Boolean AND operation) of the half-planes formed by the input neurons and can thus form arbitrary (possible unbounded) convex regions. ... 

Boolean OR operation will be performed if the synaptic weights between the second hidden layer and the output layer are equal to one and the output neuron s thresholds are set to 0.5 [lipp87]. 

A graph of this function shows that it is not until the number of points n is some sizable fraction of 2( V + 1) that an (N - l)-dimensional hyperplane becomes over constrained by the requirement to correctly separate out (N + 1) or fewer points. In therefore turns out that the capacity of a simple perceptron is given by a rather simple expression if the number of output neurons is small and independent of N, then, as —> oo, the maximum number of input-output fact pairs that can be...

GABA is the predominant intrinsic transmitter of the basal ganglia. Inhibition and disinhibition are considered to be the most important modes of information transfer in the basal ganglia. Ninety-five percent of all neurons in the striatum are GABAergic medium spiny neurons. These neurons are the striatal output neurons. The medium spiny neurons which give rise to the direct pathway also contain substance P or dynorphin as a co-transmitter, while those striatal output neurons that give rise to the indirect pathway contain enkephalin as a co-transmitter. Most striatal interneurons, as well as neurons in GPe, GPi and SNr are also GABAergic. Because striatal and GPe... 

With very few exceptions, the neurons in the medial, lateral, and anterior cell groups of the AL fall into two main classes (19,65,67,72,73). Projection neurons (PNs or output neurons) have dendritic arborizations in the AL neuropil and axons that project out of the AL, and local... 

The male moth s pheromone-analyzing olfactory subsystem is composed of pheromone-specific antennal ORCs projecting to the similarly specialized, anatomically defined MGC in the AL and MGC output neurons that project to olfactory foci in the protocerebrum. This subsystem is an example of a labeled-line pathway (18). Its specialization to detect, amplify, and analyze features of sex-pheromonal signals and its consequent exaggeration of common olfactory organizational principles... 

Neural Nets (NNs) relate a set of input neurons with an output neuron (providing the prediction label of a data point) by a network of layers of neurons in the interior. They are certainly among the most frequently used Machine Learning methods in the field [148] and allow for a high degree of customization since the architecture of the network itself is part of the parameters the user may define. 

A feedforward neural network consisting of 31 hidden and one output neuron was generated 97% inhibitors and 95% non-inhibitors of the training set were predicted correctly 36 inhibitors and 36 non-inhibitors of a test set, which have not been used to generate the model, were predicted with 91.7% accuracy for inhibitors and 88.9% for non-inhibitor. 

Dopamine is a catecholamine (see Chapter 10 and Fig. 31.2) whose actions are mediated by dopamine receptors that are classified as Dj-like (Dj, D5) or D2-like (D2, D3, D4). Dopamine actions on Dj receptors exert an excitatory effect, whereas the actions of dopamine on D2 receptors inhibit neuronal activity. The loss of striatal dopamine produces an imbalance in information processing in the neostriatum that modifies transmission in other basal ganglia regions. Also important in neural transmission are the striatal interneurons that are found within the confines of the striatum, that use the excitatory neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and that modulate the activity of striatal output neurons. 

These neurons transmit information to the third—output—layer, as a weighted combination (Z) of values. The neurons in the output layer correspond to the response variables which, in the case of classification, are the coded class indices. The output neurons transform the information Z, from the hidden layer, by means of a further sigmoid function or a semilinear function.

Figure 8.4 Funt et al. (1996) transform the colors of the input image to rg-chromaticity space. The input layer of the neural network samples the triangular shaped region of the chromaticity space. The network consists of an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The two output neurons estimate the chromaticity of the illuminant.
