Error_surface_of_a_linear_neuron_for_a_single_training_case.png


Summary

Description
English: On the x-axis is the output, y, of a linear neuron and on the y-axis is the error, E, of the output compared to a target output of zero. The error is calculated by squaring the difference between the actual and target output. This demonstrates that training of a neural network can be thought of as an optimization problem where the correct output involves finding the minima of the parabola.
