Question

The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis attempts to explain these constructs’ efficiency despite their low VC dimension. Proving that a sequence of these constructs converges to any arbitrary function is the goal of several Universal Approximation Theorems. One type of these constructs passes a 2D “mask” over values to compute an activation map. The LSTM (10[1])was created (10[1])to alleviate a problem (10[1])with these constructs where a value “vanishes” due to repeatedly applying the chain rule. (-5[1])Images can be processed using the “convolutional” (10[2])type of these constructs. The weights of these constructs are typically updated using backpropagation, (10[1])which was popularized by 2024 Nobel Laureate Geoffrey Hinton. For 10 points, “deep learning” (10[1])uses what biologically-inspired (10[1])computational (10[1])constructs? ■END■ (0[1])

ANSWER: artificial neural networks [or deep neural networks or ANNs or DNNs; accept specific types of neural networks such as convolutional neural networks or recurrent neural networks or CNNs or RNNs; accept “The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis: Finding Sparse, Trainable Neural Networks”; prompt on classifiers or learners or machine learning models or large language models or LLMs; prompt on artificial neurons; reject “biological neural networks”]
