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)
