Mcculloch-Pitts Neural Model and Pattern Classification.

The earliest artificial neural model was proposed by McCulloch and Pitts in 1943. The McCulloch-Pitts neural model consists of input units connected to a single output unit through weighted links. There are two types of inputs - excitatory inputs which have positive weights, and inhibitory inputs which have negative weights. The output is determined by a binary step activation function that fires (equals 1) if the net input is greater than or equal to a threshold, and does not fire (equals 0) otherwise. This simple model can implement logical operations like AND, OR, and XOR.

The McCulloch -pitts Neural Model

• The earliest artificial neural model was proposed by


McCulloch and Pitts in 1943.
• Following fig .depicts its structure .
• Its consists of number of inputs units connected to a
single output unit.
• The interconnected links are unidirectional.
• There are two kinds of inputs, namely
i) Excitatory input and
ii) Inhibitory inputs.

Features of the McCulloch -Pitts artificial neuron
• There are two kinds of inputs , excitatory and inhabitory.
• In fig. excitatory inputs are shown as a inputs X1...........Xm.
• Inhibitory inputs are connected Xm+1.................Xm+n.
• The excitatory inputs are connected to the output unit
through positively weighted links.
• Inhibitory inputs have negative weights on their connecting
paths to the output unit.
• All excitatory weights have teh same positive magnitude w
and all inhibitory weights have the same negative magnitude
-v.
Features of the McCulloch -Pitts artificial neuron

• The activation y_out =f(y_in ) is binary that is either 1( in case the


neuron fires) or 0 (in case the neuron does not fire.
• The activation function is a binary step function. It is 1 if the net input
y_in is greater than or equal to a given threshold value θ and 0
otherwise.
• The inhabition is absolute. A single inhibitory input threshold
prevent the neuron from firing irrespective of the number of
active excitatory inputs.
