Consider a single AN used for classification in a 2D space with an augmented vector as discussed in the Engelbrecht text. This AN is a summation unit (SU) and its activation function fAN is a step function with outputs \gamma 1=1 for fAN(net)>=0 and \gamma 2=0 for fAN(net)<0. Given the weights v1=1.0, v2=0.3, and v3=0.5, draw this AN.
Draw (on graph or engineering paper or by using software) the decision boundary encoded by this AN. Be sure to indicate the \gamma 1 side of the boundary.
Add the following points on the graph you just drew and label the class of each according to the AN.
(1.0,0.2)
(0.0,0.0)
(0.1,0.5)
(1.7,0.1)
(1.8,1.4)
Assume that the ANs classification of each of the points above is correct. List a new labeled data item which, if added to the data set above, would necessarily cause the AN to misclassify at least one data item. (That is, given this new data item, there would be no set of possible weights that would allow this AN to correctly classify all data items.) Explain why the AN would necessarily misclassify at least one data item.
Explain how the decision boundary for this AN would change if \gamma 2 were changed to 1, rather than 0.
[Note for explanatory questions, like this one: To explain the answer, describe what the answer is in this case, what changes (if any) there are to the decision boundary and also why that is the correct answer in this case that answer would be based on how the value of \gamma affects the decision boundary.]
Explain how the decision boundary for this AN would change if fAN were changed to be a sigmoidal logistic function.
Explain how the classification of each of the points listed above would change if fAN were a sigmoidal logistic function.
