Question

What is the name of the function in the following statement “A perceptron adds up all the weighted inputs it receives, and if it exceeds a certain value, it outputs a 1, otherwise it just outputs a 0”?

(a) Step function

(b) Heaviside function

(c) Logistic function

(d) Perceptron function

I had been asked this question in an online interview.

My question is based upon Neural Networks topic in section Learning of Artificial Intelligence

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) Heaviside function

Best explanation: Also known as the step function – so answer 1 is also right. It is a hard thresholding function, either on or off with no in-between.
