All of the mentioned are true
(ii) and (iii) are true
(i), (ii) and (iii) are true
None of the mentioned View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Neural networks have higher computational rates than conventional computers because a lot of the operation is done in parallel. That is not the case when the neural network is simulated on a computer. The idea behind neural nets is based on the way the human brain works. Neural nets cannot be programmed, they cam only learn by examples.
Which of the following is true for neural networks?
The training time depends on the size of the network.
Neural networks can be simulated on a conventional computer.
Artificial neurons are identical in operation to biological ones.
All of the mentioned
(ii) is true
(i) and (ii) are true
None of the mentioned View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The training time depends on the size of the network; the number of neuron is greater and therefore the number of possible ‘states’ is increased. Neural networks can be simulated on a conventional computer but the main advantage of neural networks – parallel execution – is lost. Artificial neurons are not identical in operation to the biological ones.
What are the advantages of neural networks over conventional computers?
They have the ability to learn by example
They are more fault tolerant
They are more suited for real time operation due to their high ‘computational’ rates
(i) and (ii) are true
(i) and (iii) are true
Only (i)

: Answers
Which of the following(s) is/are found in Genetic Algorithms? The correct answer is (d).
An initial population evolves to some optimal solutions. Selection biases for better individuals, judged by their fitness values; two individuals are chosen for reproducing offspring. By combining portions of good individuals, this
.process is likely to create even better individuals

Q3.
Where are Genetic Algorithms applicable? The correct answer is (b).
Genetic Algorithms can be used to evolve strategies for interaction in the Prisoner's Dilemma in economics. GAs are used as a computational method in
Alife - simulation of living systems starting with single cells and evolving to orgranisms, societies or even whole economic systems. These features compete for the limited resources in this virtual world. In biology, GAs are used in protein structure prediction, protein folding, stability of DNA hairpins
.and modeling of immune system
DNA structures Protein Structures
It cannot be applied in real time systems. The response time is critical. However, GAs cannot guarantee to find a solution. The time spent in evaluation of fitness function and other genetic operations is substantially
.large, especially in a poorly- understood, complex search space
...Go Back
Q4.
Which of the following(s) is/are the requirement(s) when Genetic Algorithms are applied to solve problems?
The correct answer is (c).
The problem is mapped into a set of strings with each string representing a potential solution (i.e. chromosomes). A fitness function is required to compare and tell which solution is better. GA performance is heavily
.dependent on the representation chosen
GAs are designed to efficiently search large, non-linear, poorly understood search space where expert knowledge is scarce or difficult to encode and where traditional techniques fail. However, domain knowledge guides GAs to obtain the optimal solutions. Moreover, GAs are powerful enough to solve for
set of (nearly) optimal solutions
...Go Back
Q5.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are true? The correct answer is (c).
The search space is too complex for exhaustive search such that GAs successfully find robust solutions after evaluating only a few percent of the
.full parameter space
It can never be guaranteed that GAs will find an optimal solution or even any
.solution at all
Their probabilistic nature and reliance on frequent interactions of members of a large population make a complete analytic understanding of GAs extremely
.difficult
...Go Back
Q6.
If crossover between chromosome in search space does not produce significantly different offspring, what does it imply? (if offspring consist of one half of each parent)
The correct answer is (b).
When crossover operation does not produce siginificantly different offsprings, it shows that the parents involved are almost identical. Hence, it means that solution is about to be reached. However, this solution derived is not neccessarily the optimal solution. From here, we could see that mutation is necessary to maintain the diversity of the population so that GAs would not be
.trapped in partial solutions
...Go Back
Q7.
Which of the following comparison is true? The correct answer is (a).
This is true since GAs require only information that would evaluate the fitness function for the possible soulutions (individuals in search space). But for other searches which generally require more information, like differentiability of problem function, might find it hard to find them.
This holds true in most circumstances. However, if the search space is small enough, other search like hill-climbing or heuristic, which are very effective in explorating small space, would just perform as good.
GAs have only been developed for a couple of decades while traditional searches have been investigated for a longer time. Thus GAs do not necessarily produce a better quality solution.
Evidently certain algorithms are only applicable to limited domains . However, certain difficulties, like encoding of problems, might hinder the use of GAs.
Q8.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are true? The correct answer is (b).
Alife is characterised by a bottom-up synthesis approach, so that the robotics work tends to aim for insect-like capability rather than human, and complex hebaviours are developed by putting together more simple ones. Artificial forms of evolution such as Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming are widely used to evolve solutions or behaviours rather than designing them in a
.top-down fashion in Artificial Intelligence
