Question

Which of the following statements are correct, regarding Artificial neural networks (ANN's)? A. ANN's inspired by biological neurons. B. Feed forward networks have loops. C. Backpropagation is used for learning. D. ANN's can not handle non-linear problems. E. Activation functions introduce non-linearity.

• A. A, B and D only
• B. A, C and E only
• C. A, B, C, D and E
• D. B, C, D and E only

Hint:

ANNs are inspired by biological neurons. Backpropagation helps in learning, and activation functions make neural networks capable of solving non-linear problems.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
Artificial Neural Networks are computational models inspired by the structure and functioning of biological neurons. They are widely used in machine learning and deep learning.

Step 1: Check statement A.
ANNs are inspired by biological neurons of the brain. \[ A \text{ is correct} \]

Step 2: Check statement B.
Feed forward networks do not have loops. In feed forward neural networks, information flows only in one direction from input layer to output layer. \[ B \text{ is incorrect} \]

Step 3: Check statement C.
Backpropagation is used to train neural networks by updating weights using error gradients. \[ C \text{ is correct} \]

Step 4: Check statement D.
ANNs can handle non-linear problems because they use activation functions. \[ D \text{ is incorrect} \]

Step 5: Check statement E.
Activation functions such as sigmoid, tanh, and ReLU introduce non-linearity into neural networks. \[ E \text{ is correct} \] Therefore, correct statements are: \[ A, C \text{ and } E \] \[ \therefore \text{Correct Answer is (B)} \]
