The connectionist network has learned the correct pattern for a concept when
A) the connection weights add up to exactly +1.00.
B) the output pattern matches the initial input pattern.
C) the back propagated error signal is zero.
D) the output unit response is greater than zero.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the back propagated error signal is zero, it means that the network has successfully learned and can accurately reproduce the desired output pattern for a given input pattern. The other choices do not necessarily indicate successful learning, as connection weights that add up to exactly +1.00 may not be relevant to the learning process, output pattern matching the initial input pattern may not always be desirable, and output unit response being greater than zero does not necessarily indicate accurate learning.
