XOR Logic Gate – Neural Networks

January 14, 2022February 13, 2017 by Simon

We have previously discussed OR logic gates and the importance of bias units in AND gates. Here, we will introduce the XOR gate and show why logistic regression can’t model the non-linearity required for this particular problem. As always, the full code for these examples can be found in my GitHub repository here. XOR gates … Read moreXOR Logic Gate – Neural Networks

AND Logic Gate – Importance of bias units

January 14, 2022December 29, 2016 by Simon

Previously, we talked about simple OR gates and now we’ll continue that discussion with AND gates, and specifically the role of bias units. We often neglect to consider the role bias plays in our models. We know that we should include bias units, but why? Here, I’ll walk through a short example using an AND … Read moreAND Logic Gate – Importance of bias units

OR Logic Gate using Theano

January 14, 2022December 24, 2016 by Simon

Theano is a powerful Python library that provides some useful tools for machine learning, such as GPU training and symbolic differentiation of the cost function during gradient descent. It can be a bit challenging to understand how Theano works, so before jumping into more complex non-linear models, we can get to grips with Theano by … Read moreOR Logic Gate using Theano
