Update weight vector regardless of correctness for perceptron algorithm

For the perceptron algorithm, what will happen if I update weight vector for both correct and wrong prediction instead of just for wrong predictions? What will be the plot of number of wrong predictions look like w.r.t. number of passes? The algorithm of perceptron is the one proposed by Rosenblatt (1958) as below:

My question is that what will happen if we remove if condition and execute update for all instances in each pass.

• If you look at the cross-entropy loss function, loss is equal to zero when you have the correct prediction. Hence, in this case, error is not propagated backwards, and the weights not updated accordingly. – Buomsoo Kim Sep 15 '17 at 23:27

The learning rule says that the weight vector $\mathbf{w}=(w_i,...w_n)$ is updated according to $w_i(t+1)=w_i(t)+(d_j-y_j(t))x_{ji}$ (see wikipedia). So if the output $y_j$ (obtained applying the $j$th input vector $x_j$) is equal to the desired output $d_j$, that is $d_j=y_j(t)$, the rule becomes $w_i(t+1)=w_i(t)+0$, hence there is no change to the weight.
• Oh I see. I have reported a more "modern" and general version of the algorithm. In the original one, inputs $\mathbf{x}$ and outputs $y$ are $\in \{1,-1\}$. I think that if you update after each pass (regardless of correct or wrong output) then the perceptron will not find the solution. This becase while the original algorithm minimize a meaningful loss function $L(w)=\frac{1}{m} \mathop \sum \limits_1^m {\rm{max(0,}}{{\rm{y}}_i}\left\langle {w \cdot {x_i}} \right\rangle {\rm{)}}$, your modified version does not and add random changes to the parameters after each correct response. – matteo Sep 17 '17 at 0:09
