WEEK 2 Assignment — ANN Fundamentals

Section A — Theory Questions

Q1. Why do we need activation functions in neural networks?

Explain:

• Sigmoid

• ReLU

• Tanh

Q2. What is Gradient Descent?

Explain:

• Learning Rate

• Cost Function

• How weights are updated

Section B — Practical Coding

Q3. Python Implementation

Write a Python program to:

• Take 2 inputs

• Calculate weighted sum

• Apply Sigmoid activation

• Print final output

Q4. Simple Weight Update using Gradient Descent

Write a Python program to:

• Initialize weight = 5

• Learning rate = 0.1

• Gradient = 2

Update the weight using Gradient Descent formula and print the new weight.
Use:

Where:

• η = learning rate

• dL/dw = gradient

Q5. Write a program which can compute the factorial of a given numbers.
