Is it possible to predict non-classifiable label using single layer perceptron and sigmoid function? (without using any perceptron library)

Imagine predicting BMI index like 1,2,3,4,5 and having weight and height as input. I know it can be easily done with other method. Also I have to use sigmoid function and I am really new to this. I ...

How can I explain the difference in decision boundary and its reason in relation to the dimension of the hidden layer?

I got these 3 different plots of decision boundaries using 3 different parameters for hidden_layer_sizes of the MLPClassifier from sklearn on XOR gate. ...

How to resolve the perceptron dilemma for binary classification?

I have a following thought problem involving perceptron and binary classification that I wonder if anyone has thought about before. This is not from any textbook or reference, although I doubt I'm the ...

Rule of thumb for Data Requirements when Designing a Neural Network for Deep Learning

I'm designing an MLP classifier and I've been noticing that: Using a very shallow network, or one whose at least one layer has a small number of neurons yields bad performance Using a deep network ...

Why perceptron is linear classifier?

It is said that perceptron is linear classifier, but it has a non-linear activation function f = 1 if wx - b >= 0 and f = 0 otherwise If i will use some non-linear function on linear combination of ...

Neural Networks - Difference between one dimensional layer vs multi-dimensional layer

Please take a look at these Neural Network architectures: I can understand the architecture of Hidden Layer in Net-2 : you add 12 Neurons to your hidden layer... What I can't understand is the 2-...

Why use a restricted Boltzmann machine rather than a multi-layer perceptron?

I'm trying to understand the difference between a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM), and a feed-forward neural network (NN). I know that an RBM is a generative model, where the idea is to reconstruct ...

From the Perceptron rule to Gradient Descent: How are Perceptrons with a sigmoid activation function different from Logistic Regression?

Essentially, my question is that in multilayer Perceptrons, perceptrons are used with a sigmoid activation function. So that in the update rule $\hat{y}$ is calculated as $$\hat{y} = \frac{1}{1+\exp(...
