This set of Neural Networks Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Activation Models″.

1. Activation value is associated with?
a) potential at synapses
b) cell membrane potential
c) all of the mentioned
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Cell membrane potential determines the activation value in neural nets.

2. In activation dynamics is output function bounded?
a) yes
b) no
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: It is the nature of output function in activation dynamics.

3. What’s the actual reason behind the boundedness of the output function in activation dynamics?
a) limited neural fluid
b) limited fan in capacity of inputs
c) both limited neural fluid & fan in capacity
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: It is due to the limited current carrying capacity of cell membrane.

6. What is structural stability?
a) when both synaptic & activation dynamics are simultaneously used & are in equilibrium
b) when only synaptic dynamics in equilibrium
c) when only synaptic dynamics in equilibrium
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Refers to state equilibrium situation where small perturbations brings network back to equilibrium.

7. What is global stability?
a) when both synaptic & activation dynamics are simultaneously used & are in equilibrium
b) when only synaptic & activation dynamics are used
c) when only synaptic dynamics in equilibrium
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Global stability means neuron as a whole is stable.

b) f(x)=x2
c) f(x)=x3
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Perkels model assumes output function to be linear.

10. Who proposed the shunting activation model?
a) rosenblatt
b) hopfield
c) perkel
d) grossberg
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Grossberg proposed the model in 1982.

11. What was the goal of shunting activation model?
a) to make system dynamic
b) to keep operating range of activation value to a specified range
c) to make system static
d) can be either for dynamic or static, depending on inputs
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Stabilizing & bounding the unbounded range of activation value was the primary goal of this model.
