C++ Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic: Preface

L

Lateral connection

A connection between two neurons that belong to the same layer.

Layer

An array of neurons positioned similarly in a network for its operation.

Learning

The process of finding an appropriate set of connection weights to achieve the goal of the network

operation.

Linearly separable

Two subsets of a linear set having a linear barrier (hyperplane) between the two of them.

LMS rule

Least mean squared error rule, with the aim of minimizing the average of the squared error. Same as

the Delta rule.

Local minimum

A point where the value of the function is no greater than the value at any other point in its

neighborhood.
