One artificial neuron

Should you go for a bike ride? The neuron weighs warmth and rain, adds a bias, and squashes the total into a chance from 0% to 100%.

Triangles are days that were good for a ride, circles days that were not. Tap the plane to move Today.

Try this

  • Flip the sign of the weight on rain and watch the boundary swing.
  • Slide the bias and watch the boundary move without turning.
  • Press Learn from the examples, then reset and try to beat it by hand.

Try "embedding", "softmax", "overfitting", or "backpropagation".
