# SECTION A

1. Attempt all questions in brief (2 x 10 = 20)

(a) What does convergence mean in neural networks?

Convergence in neural networks refers to the point during training where the model's error (or loss)

stops decreasing significantly, and the weights stabilize. This indicates that the network has learned

the patterns in the data effectively.

(b) Applications of Associative Memory

1. Pattern recognition: Recognizing images or text patterns.

2. Speech recognition: Matching spoken words to stored patterns.

3. Data retrieval: Accessing stored information based on partial input.

4. Error correction: Fixing errors in transmitted or stored data.

(c) Limitations of Backpropagation Algorithm

1. Slow convergence: It can take a long time to train.

2. Local minima: The algorithm might get stuck in suboptimal solutions.

3. Sensitivity to initialization: Performance depends on initial weight values.

4. Overfitting: It may memorize the training data instead of generalizing.

(d) Define Perceptron Model

A perceptron is a single-layer neural network that uses weighted inputs and applies an activation

function to classify data into two categories (binary classification).

(e) What is fuzzy logic used for?


Fuzzy logic is used for handling imprecise or uncertain information. Applications include:

1. Control systems (e.g., washing machines, air conditioners).

2. Medical diagnosis.

3. Decision-making systems.

(f) What are the operations of crisp set?

1. Union: Combines all elements from two sets.

2. Intersection: Finds common elements between two sets.

3. Complement: Includes all elements not in the set.

4. Difference: Elements in one set but not in another.

(g) Where is fuzzy controller used?

Fuzzy controllers are used in:

1. Home appliances: Air conditioners, washing machines.

2. Industrial systems: Temperature, speed, and pressure control.

3. Automotive systems: Anti-lock braking systems (ABS), cruise control.

(h) Define Fuzzification

Fuzzification is the process of converting crisp input values into fuzzy sets using membership

functions, making the data suitable for fuzzy logic systems.

(i) Applications of Genetic Algorithm (GA)

1. Optimization problems: Solving complex engineering challenges.

2. Scheduling: Optimizing job/task scheduling.

3. Machine learning: Feature selection and neural network training.

4. Robotics: Path planning for autonomous systems.


(j) Different Operators in GA

1. Selection: Chooses the best individuals for reproduction.

2. Crossover: Combines two parent solutions to create new offspring.

3. Mutation: Introduces small random changes to maintain diversity.

4. Fitness function: Measures the quality of solutions.

# SECTION B

2. Attempt any three of the following (10 x 3 = 30)

(a) Short notes on Recurrent Auto Associative Memory: Pros & Cons

Recurrent Auto Associative Memory (RAAM) is a neural network designed to store patterns and

recall them even from partial or noisy inputs. It uses feedback connections, allowing the output of a

neuron to influence its input.

Pros:

1. Noise tolerance: Can retrieve data even with noisy or incomplete inputs.

2. Pattern storage: Efficient for storing and retrieving patterns.

3. Dynamic memory: Capable of learning sequences over time.

Cons:

1. Limited capacity: Can store only a small number of patterns.

2. Complex training: Requires careful tuning of parameters.

3. Sensitive to initialization: Performance may vary based on initial weights.

(b) How does Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) work? Main problems with backpropagation

An MLP consists of:


1. Input layer: Accepts data.

2. Hidden layers: Processes data using weights and activation functions.

3. Output layer: Produces final results.

It works by:

1. Forward propagation of input data through layers.

2. Calculating errors using a loss function.

3. Backpropagation to adjust weights and reduce errors.

Main problems with backpropagation:

1. Slow convergence.

2. Local minima.

3. Overfitting.

4. Vanishing gradient problem in deep networks.

regression, and pattern recognition.

Layers in ANN:

1. Input layer: Receives input data.


2. Hidden layers: Process data using weights and activation functions.

3. Output layer: Produces final predictions.
