Mar 31, 2021 at 10:07 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker @OliverMason: Does it make a difference to start with some constant weights?
Mar 31, 2021 at 9:30 comment added Oliver Mason Normally you start with random weights, and the training process adjusts them so that the mapping input to output is achieved; if you pre-define them with non-random values, you could in theory tell the NN to behave in a particular way (if you could choose the correct values).
Mar 31, 2021 at 9:15 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker @OliverMason: To the rest what you say, I fully agree: The weights are too much of a black box to make anything into this direction feasible. (In human brains it works!)
Mar 31, 2021 at 9:13 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker @OliverMason. Thanks for the comment. I would not say "predefine the weights" or "bypass the training" but to complement/adjust/modulate/correct them (it) - or the other way around: let the training do the fine-tuning.
Mar 31, 2021 at 8:53 comment added Oliver Mason I would say you are right, in that NNs only learn by being shown an input and an output, ie through 'experience'. "Being told" would map onto pre-defining the weights (ie bypass the training algorithm), but I guess they're too much of a black box for that to be feasible.
