Backpropagation Training
1. **Problem Statement:** We are asked to use the backpropagation algorithm to develop and train a neural network given input-output pairs.
2. **Understanding Backpropagation:** Backpropagation is a supervised learning algorithm used for training artificial neural networks. It involves a forward pass to compute outputs and a backward pass to update weights by minimizing the error between predicted and actual outputs.
3. **Key Formulas:**
- Forward pass output: $$y = f(\sum w_i x_i + b)$$ where $f$ is the activation function.
- Error: $$E = \frac{1}{2} (y_{target} - y)^2$$
- Weight update rule: $$w_i := w_i - \eta \frac{\partial E}{\partial w_i}$$ where $\eta$ is the learning rate.
4. **Step-by-step Training:**
- Initialize weights and bias randomly.
- For each input-output pair:
- Compute the output using the current weights.
- Calculate the error.
- Compute gradients of error w.r.t weights.
- Update weights using the gradient descent rule.
- Repeat for multiple epochs until error converges.
5. **Example with one input neuron and one output neuron:**
- Let input $x$, weight $w$, bias $b$, activation function $f$ (e.g., sigmoid).
- Forward pass: $$y = f(wx + b)$$
- Error: $$E = \frac{1}{2}(y_{target} - y)^2$$
- Backpropagation updates:
- $$\frac{\partial E}{\partial w} = -(y_{target} - y) f'(wx + b) x$$
- $$\frac{\partial E}{\partial b} = -(y_{target} - y) f'(wx + b)$$
- Update weights:
- $$w := w - \eta \frac{\partial E}{\partial w}$$
- $$b := b - \eta \frac{\partial E}{\partial b}$$
6. **Training on the given data:**
- Use the 12 input-output pairs.
- Choose learning rate $\eta$ (e.g., 0.1).
- Iterate over data multiple times, updating weights and bias each time.
7. **Result:** After sufficient training, the neural network will approximate the mapping from input to output.
This process requires iterative computation and cannot be fully shown here step-by-step for all data points due to length, but the above outlines the method to develop and train the network using backpropagation.
