What are weights and biases in AI?

June 12, 2023 

For the answer to this question check our AI Wiki source. 

Weights and biases are parameters added to regulate the signal from one neuron to another in artificial intelligence (AI) neural networks.

AI neural networks are meant to replicate to some extent the neural operations of the human brain. In human brains, neurons send signals to other neurons to activate mental associations that generate learning. Likewise, in AI neural networks neuromorphic chips called also "neurons" receive input and communicate signals to other layers of neurons to produce output. 

Weights regulate the importance of input variables within a signal. Important input should carry more weight into the signal than less important input. For example, let's assume that your AI model is calculating lifestyle habits that may correlate to good health. Variables include sleep, nutrition, exercise, meditation, relationships, income, etc. If sleep is more important than income, weights would be used to reflect that difference. Biases are added to influence output even in the absence of relative weights. For example, in the same health study is the person indicates yes to tobacco use, a bias may be added to reflect a health risk independent of the other input variables.

Weights and biases are added to the AI models during the training sessions by which machines learn to improve the accuracy of their predictions and results. You can become an AI programmer, or an AI trainer. This is an ever growing field. Think about it.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
