Talk:Artificial neuron

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There seems to be at least a little overlap between this article and perceptron. Perhaps a partial merge of the overlapping info and some cross-links would be a good idea? --Delirium 23:04, Oct 25, 2003 (UTC)

Exactly what I was about to point out myself. Maybe this article should be whittled down to the key concepts of an artificial neuron per se (biological basis etc), and Perceptron expanded to cover the specifics of the McCullough-Pitts implementation - after all, there are other kinds of neural net, which therefore contain other kinds of neuron. Indeed, some of the comments here (such as the values being boolean) arguably don't even generalise over all perceptrons. Once I've finished defining them for my coursework, I'll try and sort out the various articles here. - IMSoP 18:24, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] What does this article want to tell us?

Once u guys are clear about what u want to describe here, u may want to fix the interwiki links to either de:Künstliches Neuron or de:McCulloch-Pitts-Zelle --chrislb 问题 07:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] citation needed

Where does that criticism come from -- namely the one about artificial neurons not having multiple output axons? I've never come across that, pls provide citation!

[edit] W0 to Wm inputs is m+1 inputs, not m

I found this article researching something else. w₀ through w_m makes w an array with m + 1 elements. I would think that the first sentence under Basic Structure should be either:

For a given artificial neuron, let there be m + 1 inputs with signals x₀ through x_m and weights w₀ through w_m.

or

For a given artificial neuron, let there be m inputs with signals x₀ through x_{m - 1} and weights w₀ through w_{m - 1}.

I don't want to make this change as A) it might be correct in Engineersp33k and B) I don't have the expertise to know how this might change other parts of the discussion that follows. TechBear 17:03, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Synapse?

Shouldn't the output be axon, since it refers to input as dendrites? Just wondering... --Bobianite (talk) 02:00, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
