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 was created to alleviate a problem with these constructs where a value “vanishes” (10[1])due to repeatedly applying the chain rule. Images can be processed using the “convolutional” type of these constructs. (10[2]-5[1])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” uses what (10[1])biologically-inspired (10[2])computational constructs? ■END■ (10[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”]
