Neural Networks Question and Answers – Pattern Classification – 2

This set of Neural Networks Test focuses on “Pattern Classification – 2”.

1. Convergence in perceptron learning takes place if and only if:
a) a minimal error condition is satisfied
b) actual output is close to desired output
c) classes are linearly separable
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Linear separability of classes is the condition for convergence of weighs in perceprton learning.

2. When line joining any two points in the set lies entirely in region enclosed by the set in M-dimensional space , then the set is known as?
a) convex set
b) concave set
c) may be concave or convex
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: A convex set is a set of points in M-dimensional space such that line joining any two points in the set lies entirely in region enclosed by the set.

3. Is it true that percentage of linearly separable functions will increase rapidly as dimension of input pattern space is increased?
a) yes
b) no
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: There is decrease in number of linearly separable functions as dimension of input pattern space is increased.

4. If pattern classes are linearly separable then hypersurfaces reduces to straight lines?
a) yes
b) no
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Hypersurfaces reduces to straight lines, if pattern classes are linearly separable.

5. As dimensionality of input vector increases, what happens to linear separability?
a) increases
b) decreases
c) no effect
d) doesn’t depend on dimensionality
View Answer

Answer: b

8. Intersection of linear hyperplanes in three layer network can only produce convex surfaces, is the statement true?
a) yes
b) no
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Intersection of linear hyperplanes in three layer network can only produce convex surfaces.

9. Intersection of convex regions in three layer network can only produce convex surfaces, is the statement true?
a) yes
b) no
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Intersection of convex regions in three layer network can produce nonconvex regions.

10. If the output produces nonconvex regions, then how many layered neural is required at minimum?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Adding one more layer of units to three layer can yield surfaces which can separate even nonconvex regions.
