In such larger networks, we call the step function units the perceptron units in multi-layer networks. As with individual perceptrons, multi-layer networks can be used for learning tasks. However, the ...

The backpropagation algorithm will adjust each weight in a direction that would have produced a higher value. The larger an input's value, the more its weight gets increased.

Geoffrey Hinton, professor at the University of Toronto and engineering fellow at Google Brain, recently published a paper on the Forward-Forward algorithm (FF), a technique for training neural networ ...
