| Jason - I'm a grade 11 International Baccalaureate Year One student at Sir Winston Churchill. I've been interested in science for as long as I could remember. I have written numerous math and science competitions, and enjoyed some of them very much. At school, I'm an editor for the school's science magazine, a dissection club executive, a member of debate club, and a player for Reach for the Top. I enjoy reading, solving puzzles, and playing Ultimate Frisbee. I plan on studying science or mathematics upon entering a post-secondary institution. | | Manuel - I am a Grade 11 student currently attending Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School. I am interested in math, programming and cybernetics. I am a member of the local First Responders team. |

A Different Look at Perceptrons
| Division: | Earth & Environmental Sciences | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Greater Vancouver | | City: | Vancouver, BC, Richmond, BC | | School: | Sir Winston Churchill Secondary | | Abstract: | A perceptron is a linear classifier that learns to differentiate between two data sets by making guesses and corrections. Its algorithm is linear, and classifying non linear data sets would require multilayering nodes or though other mathematical manipulations. This project generalizes the algorithm to a general quadratic and compares the classic backpropagating error method with our quadratic method. |
