Answer any FIVE questions

All questions carry equal marks
---

1. Briefly discuss about linear separability and the solution for EX-
OR problem. Also suggest a network that can solve EX-OR
problem.

2. Explain in detail the differences between competitive learning and

differential competitive learning.

3.a) What is meant by perceptron representation problem?

b) Explain why a single layer perceptron cannot be used to solve
linearly non separable problems? Give two examples for linearly
non-separable problems.

4.a) Write the advantages and disadvantages of perceptron.

b) Explain Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm.

5. Using back propagation learning, find the new weights for the
network shown in figure.1, when presented with an input (0,1) and
the target output is 1. Use a learning rate of α = 0.5 and the binary
sigmoid activation function.

6. What are the self organizing maps? Explain the architecture and
the training algorithm used for Kohonen’s SOMs.

7. Explain the procedure of identification of dynamical system using

neural networks.

8. What are the modes of operation of a Hopfield network? Explain

the algorithm for storage of information in a Hopfield network.
Similarly explain the recall algorithm.
