PERCEPTRON
Perceptron is a simple two layer neural network with several neurons in input layer, and one or more neurons in output layer. All neurons use step transfer function and network can use LMS based learning algorithm such as Perceptron Learning or Delta Rule. This network can be used as a linear classifier, and it can only be applied to linear separable problems.
To create and train Perceptron neural network using Neuroph Studio do the following:
- Create Neuroph Project.
- Create Perceptron network.
- Create training set (in main menu choose Training >New Training Set).
- Train network
- Test trained network
Step 1. Create Neuroph project.
Click File > New Project.
Select Neuroph Project, click Next.
Enter project name and location, click Finish.
Project is created, now create neural network.
Step 2. Create Perceptron network.
Click File > New File
Select project from Project drop-down menu, select Neural Network file type, click next.
Enter network name, select Perceptron network type, click next.
In new perceptron dialog enter number ofneurons in input (2) and output layer (1) , choose Perceptron Learningand click Create button.
This will create the Perceptron neural network with two neurons in input, and one in output layer. By default, all neurons with Steptransfer functions.
Now we shall train this simple network to learn logical AND function. First we have to create the training setaccording to AND truth table.
Step 3. To create training set, click File>New File to open Data Set wizard.
Select DataSet file type, then click next.
Enter training set name, number of inputs andoutputs as shown on picture below and click Finish button.
Then create training set by entering training elements as input and desired output values of neurons in input and outputlayer. Use Add row button to add new elements, and click OK button when finished.
Step 4. Training network. To start network training procedure, drag n‘ drop training set to corresponding field in the network window, and ‘Train‘ button will become enabled in toolbar. Click the ‘Train‘ button to open Set Learning Parameters dialog.
In Set Learning parameters dialoguse default learning parameters, and just click the Train button.
When the Total Net Error is zero, thetraining is complete.
Step 5. After the training is complete, you can test the network for the whole training set by selecting training set to test, and clicking Test button..
This will show test results in the new tab.
To test single input, use Set Input button. This will open Set Network Input dialog in which you can enter input values for network delimited withspace.
The result of network test is shown on picture below. Network learned logical AND function. As we can see the outputneuron has value 1. Test the network to see how it behaves for other input values.
