1. Explain the difference between supervised and unsupervised training.

    2. What is the primary difference between the delta rule and Hebb's rule?

    3. Consider the following four results; calculate the RMS error.

Training Set #1, Expected = 5, Actual = 5
Training Set #2, Expected = 2, Actual = 3
Training Set #3, Expected = 6, Actual = 5
Training Set #4, Expected = 8, Actual = 4
Training Set #5, Expected = 1, Actual = 2

    4. Use Hebb's rule to calculate the weight adjustment.

Two Neurons: N1 and N2
N1 to N2 Weight: 3
N1 Activation: 2
N2 Activation: 6

    Calculate the weight delta.

    5. Use the delta rule to calculate the weight adjustment.

Two neurons: N1 and N2
N1 to N2 Weight: 3
N1 Activation: 2
N2 Activation: 6, Expected: 5

    Calculate the weight delta.
