In theory, should neuromorphic computers be more efficient than traditional computers when performing logic?
There is this general sentiment about neuromorphic computers that they are simply "more efficient" than von Neuman.
I've heard a lot of talk about neuromorphic computers in the context of ...

Delta rule for binary step function
I have a question of understanding about the Delta Rule:
$\Delta w_i = (y - \hat{y}) \times x_i$
Why does $x$ have to be multiplied again after the difference? If the input is $0$, the product of $w$...

Using a point as an input for a perceptron
Can a point be used as the input for a perceptron/neural net?
The relationship between the two numbers that make up a 2D point does not affect the output, but does this not matter when the ...

If the human brain is a Turing machine then how is it able to ascertain that certain problems are undecidable? [closed]
I recently read about the idea that the human brain might be a Turing machine (or Turing complete). If that is true then how is the brain able to reason that a certain problem is undecidable for e.g. ...

Analog circuits for neural networks?
Neural networks in machine learning are inherently a continuous model of computation. Yet we use digital logic circuits with floating point numbers to "emulate" this continuity.
I am wondering: is ...

Is deep learning appropriate to approximate dynamic programming problems?
I have a problem which can be completely solved using dynamic programming, but in a very intractable way (On^4, where n is around 1000). I won't get into the details of the problem since it's a bit ...

Replace EKF by Neural Networks
I made a SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) using Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and it works really good, but I want to see if it works better using Neural Networks.
For the EKF I used an ...

Is it Possible to Get Maximum Weighted Input Value in a Neural Network?
Let's say that I have a standard feedforward neural network which has $M$ inputs, some number of hidden layers $N$, and a single neuron in the output.
Is it possible to construct a network such that ...

How to model a set of categorical values in the input of a neural network
One of the inputs to my neural network is a set. I have a set $S = \{s_0, s_1, ..., s_n\}$ in which all values $s_i$ are constant. An example of such a set could be the set of French wines (...

How many layers should a neural network have?
Are there any advantages of having more than 2 hidden layers in a Neural Network?
I've seen some places that recommend it, others prove that there is no advantage.
Which one is right?
