Neural networks : Introduction : Artificial NN's (3 of 3)

We have now seen how a single neuron works, but what can it be used for.

Let's take an example: Say we want to create a binary calculator by using "neural networks". We will only need a single neuron, the reason why we are making a binary calculator is that it is less difficult when you define the weights by yourself. The neuron has got 8 synapses and a linear activation-function. This is a quite unusual neuron because the weights goes beyond -1 to 1, but it reflects what we are using it for very well. The weights are listed on the following table. You can check out if it works yourself.
wk1=1 wk2=2 wk3=4 wk4=8
 
wk5=16 wk6=32 wk7=64 wk8=128
