Don't have an account? Evaluates the contribution of the relational perspective to our understanding of individual activism by contrasting it to traditional rational choice theory. The author exposes the limitations of rational choice reasoning by noting that future expectations are often difficult to calculate and challenging the equation of social ties with prospects of future interaction. Alternatively, he emphasizes the dynamic role of activism in transforming lives and, by doing so, changing the meaning and the impact of the ties in which prospective activists are involved.
The chapter shows how discussions of networks and collective action can illuminate our understanding of social conflict and cooperation in general. Keywords: activism , collective action , cooperation , expectations , interaction , participation , rational choice , social conflict , social networks.

These input-weight products are then summed up. Finally, the hidden layers link to the output layer — where the outputs are retrieved. See how neural networks play a role in artificial intelligence.

Our first goal for these neural networks, or models, is to achieve human-level accuracy.
Until you get to that level, you always know you can do better. Types of Neural Networks. Examples include: Convolutional neural networks CNNs contain five types of layers: input, convolution, pooling, fully connected and output.
Each layer has a specific purpose, like summarizing, connecting or activating. Convolutional neural networks have popularized image classification and object detection. However, CNNs have also been applied to other areas, such as natural language processing and forecasting. Recurrent neural networks RNNs use sequential information such as time-stamped data from a sensor device or a spoken sentence, composed of a sequence of terms. Unlike traditional neural networks, all inputs to a recurrent neural network are not independent of each other, and the output for each element depends on the computations of its preceding elements.
Feedforward neural networks , in which each perceptron in one layer is connected to every perceptron from the next layer. Information is fed forward from one layer to the next in the forward direction only. There are no feedback loops. Autoencoder neural networks are used to create abstractions called encoders, created from a given set of inputs.
Although similar to more traditional neural networks, autoencoders seek to model the inputs themselves, and therefore the method is considered unsupervised.
