Question

How does the name counterpropagation signifies its architecture?

(a) its ability to learn  inverse mapping functions

(b) its ability to learn  forward mapping functions

(c) its ability to learn  forward and inverse mapping functions

(d) none of the mentioned

I have been asked this question in an international level competition.

This intriguing question comes from Multi Layer Feedforward Neural Network in section Architectures for Complex Pattern and Applications of ANN of Neural Networks

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) its ability to learn  forward and inverse mapping functions

To elaborate: Counterpropagation network has ability to learn  forward and inverse mapping functions.
