Deep Learning: Practical Neural Networks with Java
by Yusuke Sugomori, Boštjan Kaluža, Fábio M. Soares, Alan M. F. Souza
Summary
In this chapter, as preparation for deep learning, we dug into neural networks, which are one of the algorithms of machine learning. You learned about three representative algorithms of single-layer neural networks: perceptrons, logistic regression, and multi-class logistic regression. We see that single-layer neural networks can't solve nonlinear problems, but this problem can be solved with multi-layer neural networks—the networks with a hidden layer(s) between the input layer and output layer. An intuitive understanding of why MLPs can solve nonlinear problems says that the networks can learn more complicated logical operations by adding layers and increasing the number of units, and thus having the ability to express more complicated ...
