Understanding What Units Compute
•Suppose you have a 2-input unit with a step function and a fixed threshold t.
•Let x, y be inputs.
•What set of points on the x-y plane are at the unit's threshold? (Simplify equations.)
•Answer: The line Wx,i´x + Wy,i´y = t
–rewritten: y = (-Wx,i/Wy,i)x + (t/Wy,i)
