Implementation of Artificial Neural Network for NOR Logic Gate with 2-bit Binary Input

NOR
2-bit binary variables
0 0 1
0 1 0
1 0 0
1 1 0
Approach: Step1: Import the required Python libraries Step2: Define Activation Function : Sigmoid Function Step3: Initialize neural network parameters (weights, bias) and define model hyperparameters (number of iterations, learning rate) Step4: Forward Propagation Step5: Backward Propagation Step6: Update weight and bias parameters Step7: Train the learning model Step8: Plot Loss value vs Epoch Step9: Test the model performance
Python Implementation:

# Initialized all the weights in the range of between 0 and 1
# Bias values are initialized to 0
