Neural Network – Enhanced

Assignment with Examples


1. Perceptron Model – The Building Block of Neural Networks
The perceptron is the most fundamental unit of a neural network, introduced by Frank
Rosenblatt in 1958. It simulates the behavior of a single neuron in the human brain. A
perceptron takes multiple input values, applies weights to them, adds a bias, and passes the
result through an activation function to produce a single binary output.

### How it works:

The formula used by a perceptron is:

output = activation(w1*x1 + w2*x2 + ... + wn*xn + bias)

If the output value after applying weights and bias crosses a certain threshold, the
perceptron outputs 1; otherwise, it outputs 0. This is known as binary classification.

### Example:

Imagine you are trying to classify an email as "spam" or "not spam" based on features like
the number of suspicious words, presence of attachments, etc. A perceptron can take these
features as input and decide whether the email is spam.

### Key Concepts Introduced:

- **Weights**: Determine the importance of each input.

- **Bias**: Allows the decision boundary to shift.

- **Activation Function**: Step function in basic perceptron; modern networks use sigmoid,
tanh, or ReLU.

### Limitation:

A single perceptron can only solve linearly separable problems. For example, it can separate
points with a straight line but cannot solve the XOR problem.

### Why It Matters:


Even though it’s simple, the perceptron model laid the foundation for all neural networks.
Understanding it helps grasp the basic logic of how machines learn using weights, inputs,
and thresholds.
2. Multilayer Neural Network – From Perceptron to Deep Learning
Multilayer neural networks, or multilayer perceptrons (MLPs), build on the perceptron
concept by adding multiple layers of neurons. This allows the network to learn more
complex and non-linear patterns.

### Structure:

- **Input Layer**: Receives the raw data (e.g., pixel values of an image).

- **Hidden Layers**: Intermediate layers that learn features from the input.

- **Output Layer**: Produces the final result (classification or prediction).

Each layer uses activation functions to introduce non-linearity, allowing the network to
solve problems like XOR that a single-layer perceptron cannot.

### Example:

Imagine recognizing handwritten digits. The first hidden layer might detect edges, the
second might detect shapes, and the final output layer classifies the digit (0–9).

### Why Use Multiple Layers?

- **Hierarchical Learning**: Early layers learn basic features, deeper layers learn complex
patterns.

- **Generalization**: The model can learn from data without manually defining rules.

### Real-World Application:

- Face recognition in phones.

- Fraud detection in banking.

- Predicting house prices based on multiple factors.


Multilayer neural networks are the core of deep learning and have revolutionized how we
handle tasks involving image, speech, and language data.
3. Neural Network with Backpropagation – How It Learns from Mistakes
Backpropagation is the learning algorithm that trains multilayer neural networks. It helps
the network learn by reducing the error between predicted and actual outputs.

### Steps in Backpropagation:

1. **Forward Pass**: Compute the prediction by passing inputs through the network.

2. **Loss Calculation**: Measure how far the prediction is from the actual result.

3. **Backward Pass**: Calculate gradients using the chain rule of calculus.

4. **Weight Update**: Adjust weights to minimize the loss using gradient descent.

### Example:

Suppose a neural network is predicting house prices. If the actual price is ₹50 lakhs and the
predicted price is ₹40 lakhs, backpropagation computes this error and updates the weights
to reduce it in future predictions.

### Key Components:

- **Loss Function**: Measures prediction error (e.g., Mean Squared Error).

- **Gradient Descent**: Optimization technique to update weights.

- **Learning Rate**: Controls the size of weight updates.

### Real-World Analogy:

Backpropagation is like a student checking their exam answers, finding out which ones
were wrong, understanding why, and improving in the next exam.

This technique is essential for training deep networks, making it the core of modern AI
systems like speech assistants and recommendation engines.
4. Different Types of Neural Network Architectures
Neural networks come in various forms, each suited to a specific type of data or task. Here
are some popular architectures:

### 1. Feedforward Neural Network (FFNN)

- Data flows one way: input → hidden layers → output.

- Used for basic tasks like image or tabular data classification.

**Example**: Predicting student exam scores based on study hours and attendance.

### 2. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)

- Excellent for image and video processing.

- Uses filters to detect patterns like edges, shapes, and textures.

**Example**: Used in Facebook for face detection and in medical imaging to detect tumors.

### 3. Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)

- Designed for sequential data like time series and text.

- Remembers previous inputs using loops.

**Example**: Used in Google Translate, stock price prediction, and chatbot conversations.

### 4. Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)

- Two networks: Generator and Discriminator compete.

- Generator creates data; Discriminator checks if it's real.


**Example**: Used to create deepfake videos and generate realistic images.

### 5. Transformer

- Latest architecture for NLP tasks.

- Uses “attention” to focus on important words.

**Example**: Used in ChatGPT and BERT for text generation, translation, and
summarization.

Each architecture is specialized to maximize performance in its domain. By selecting the


right architecture, AI can be trained to analyze, understand, and generate human-like data.
