How do I check if the weights of my perceptron/step activation function are correct

I am new to stack overflow and deep learning so I hope I am doing this the right way. I tried to find the solution myself but it has not been successful so I am seeking some help. This is the ...

Differentiating output of layer with respect to its input [duplicate]

Say we have a relationship $ z = Wx$ for a multi layer perceptron where $z$ and $x$ are $n$ dimensional vectors. When we find $\frac{dz}{dx}$ , I would assume this would just be $W$, not $W^T$. I was ...

Rank of gradient-of-loss with respect to layer weights in an MLP

The paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.11309, makes the following claim at the end of page 3: The gradient of loss $L$ with respect to weights $W_l$ of an MLP is a rank-1 matrix for each of B batch ...

Kernelized perceptron algorithm weights update

I'm asked to find the maximum margin decision surface separating positive from negative samples by inspection. The positive examples are (1,1) and (-1,-1), the negative ones are (1,-1) and (-1,1). The ...

Why the weight vector is a linear combination of the inputs and the outputs in the Perceptron

I was studying Support Vector Machines and I've got stuck with this relation regarding the weight vector of the hyperplane. $w=\sum\limits_{i\in I}^{} y_i x_i$ For reference, I'm studying from the ...

Weight of MLP is larger than 1

I noticed when training MLP that weights of neurons can be larger than 1. Would this have negative effects on the outcome of the network? If yes, how to mitigate this problem?

Why do nodes in hidden layer produce different results?

Assuming a simple, fully connected Multilayer Perceptron network with one input layer, one hidden layer with multiple nodes and one output layer. In this case the nodes in hidden layer are ...

Question regarding weight update rule in Perceptron

In the single-layer perceptron, the weight update rule is given by:- $w_j := w_j + (y^{(i)} - \hat{y^{(i)}}) \times x_j^{(i)}$, where $w_j$ is the weight of the $j$th feature, $y^{(i)}$ is the ...

Initialization of perceptron weights

In this deck about the perceptron, there's a pseudo-code for the batch version on page 12. During each iteration of the inner loop, the dot product $y_ix_i\theta$ is compared to 0, however since the ...

Combine two single-level perceptrons

Suppose we have a training dataset with $s$ instances, and we split it to 2 sets, of lengths $n, m$ such that $s = n + m$ . We train two perceptron models $p$ and $q$, both are defined by a k-...
