Teaching Simple Linear One-Layer Neural Networks

5.1 Building Teaching File

This chapter explains how to teach the simplest neural networks. Theoretical knowledge often gained from reading algorithm descriptions is completely different from hands-on practical knowledge gained from designing an activity and seeing the results. Chapter 4 covered research involving the simplest networks. We built a simple linear network and conducted some research to demonstrate how neurons and networks behave. The experiments in this chapter will expand your knowledge of linear networks.

We will explain linear networks and discuss the limitations imposed by their simple structures. For our purposes, linear networks are easier to teach, they perform certain ...
