Beyond Mathematical Unity: From the XOR Problem to the Theoretical Limits of Backpropagation

Introduction Our previous exploration of "The Mathematical Unity of Sigmoid, Perceptron, Logistic Regression, and Softmax" established the foundational equivalences between these core machine learning concepts. We demonstrated how sigmoid-activated perceptrons are mathematically identical to logistic regression, and how softmax functions generalize sigmoid to multi-class scenarios. This mathematical unity

The Mathematical Unity of Sigmoid, Perceptron, Logistic Regression, and Softmax

Introduction In the landscape of machine learning and neural networks, certain mathematical formulations stand as foundational pillars upon which more complex architectures are built. Among these are the sigmoid function, the perceptron model, logistic regression, and the softmax function. While often introduced as separate concepts, these mathematical constructs share profound
