Question

What is the objective of backpropagation algorithm?

(a) to develop learning algorithm for multilayer feedforward neural network

(b) to develop learning algorithm for single layer feedforward neural network

(c) to develop learning algorithm for multilayer feedforward neural network, so that network can be trained to capture the mapping implicitly

(d) none of the mentioned

The question was posed to me in an interview for job.

This question is from Backpropagation Algorithm in portion Feedforward Neural Networks of Neural Networks

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) to develop learning algorithm for multilayer feedforward neural network, so that network can be trained to capture the mapping implicitly

For explanation: The objective of backpropagation algorithm  is to to develop learning algorithm for multilayer feedforward neural network, so that network can be trained to capture the mapping implicitly.
