Question

What is an outstar topology?

(a) when input is given to layer F1, the the jth(say) unit of other layer F2 will be activated to maximum extent

(b) when weight vector for connections from jth unit (say) in F2 approaches the activity pattern in  F1(comprises of input vector)

(c) can be either way

(d) none of the mentioned

This question was addressed to me in an internship interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Topology topic in division Basics of Artificial Neural Networks of Neural Networks

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) when weight vector for connections from jth unit (say) in F2 approaches the activity pattern in  F1(comprises of input vector)

The explanation: Restatement of basic definition  of outstar.
