Assignment 1: Perceptron Analysis

Consider a perceptron that predicts if you’ll pass a quiz based on:

• Hours studied (0-5)
• Hours slept (0-8)

Part1: Make predictions for:

1. Different study patterns:

• Studied 4 hours, slept 7 hours
• Studied 1 hour, slept 8 hours
• Studied 5 hours, slept 4 hours
• Studied 3 hours, slept 3 hours
• Studied 4 hours, slept 4 hours

2. Weight changes:

• Study hours more important
• Sleep hours more important
• Both equally important

Draw simple diagrams showing:

• How you think the perceptron would classify each case
• Why some combinations might work better than others

Part 2: Predict what happens when:

1. The perceptron starts with:

• Thinking only study hours matter
• Thinking only sleep matters
• Thinking nothing matters (zero weights)

2. The perceptron learns from:

• One student’s data
• Five students data
• Twenty students data

Explain in simple terms:

• How you think it would change its decisions
• Why more data might help
• What problems it might face

NOTE:

• No calculations needed
• Keep explanations simple
• You will be graded on:
  • clarity of explanation
  • use of diagrams to support your explanation
