Can you build a training set for an OR gate, and train it? What other operators can you implement this way? All you need to do is build a new training set and try training, which is pretty awesome if you think about it. (Hint: What does "separability" mean, and how is it relevant?) | Can you build a training set for an OR gate, and train it? What other operators can you implement this way?

Let's say we wanted to output smooth values instead of just 0 or 1. What wouuld you need to change in your evaluation step to get rid of the thresholding? What wouuld you need to change about learning to allow your neuron to learn smooth functions? (Hint: in a smooth output function, we want to change the amount of training we do by how far we were off, not just by which direction we were off.) | Let's say we wanted to output smooth values instead of just 0 or 1.

What if we wanted to do something besides multiple each input by its weight? What if we wanted to do something crazy, like take the second input, square it, and multiply _that_ by the weight? That is: what if we wanted to make the output a polynomial equation instead of a linear one, where each input is x^1, x^2, etc, with the weights as their coefficients? What would need to change in your implementation? What if we wanted to do even crazier things, like bizarre trig functions? | What if we wanted to do something besides multiple each input by its weight?
