Q&A: Can an artificial neural network not take binary inputs?
Question by Jason F: Can an artificial neural network not take binary inputs?
I have read about simple feedforward neural networks. Is there some form of neural networks in which the inputs need not be binary (on or off) but say can take a real number?
thanks

Those values would be weights. I took a trip to wikipedia and found this page:

Depends on the structure of the NN!
A physical NN made with ICs can be both binary or analog.
A programmed NN can use the same kinds of inputs.
I designed (electronic) NN fully analog in the past, with “weights” being anything from 0 to 5V.
In programming, the input could be a float value… anything!
