Introduction to Neural Networks for Java(Class 3/16, Part 1/5) - hopfield

[Ashwinswarup]

Is it possible to explain the difference between asynchronous weight matrix and synchronous weight matrix update in your algorithms for hopfield neural networks ?

Thanks very much!

Very good, thanks por the vids!

Mr. Jeff Heaton, I really need some help. How is the threshold value used in the sigmoid activation function in encog workbench? I thought sigmoid doesn't have a threshold.

[HeatonResearch]

The threshold value is held as part of the weight matrix. It is added to the calculation for that neuron, and then fed to the activation function, which can be TANH, Sigmoid, etc.
