Question

What is an auto-associative network?

(a) a neural network that contains no loops

(b) a neural network that contains feedback

(c) a neural network that has only one loop

(d) a single layer feed-forward neural network with pre-processing

This question was posed to me during an online exam.

Origin of the question is Neural Networks topic in portion Learning of Artificial Intelligence

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) a neural network that contains feedback

Best explanation: An auto-associative network is equivalent to a neural network that contains feedback. The number of feedback paths(loops) does not have to be one.
