Abstract: - This paper describes a simple tactile probe for identifying error signal

in Multilayer. In multilayer having the

number of hidden layers error signal can be process as irrespective manner so difficult to find out the error signal. The multilayer perceptron having the number of hidden layers with one output layer. This networks are fully connected i.e. a neuron in any layer of this network is connected to all the nodes/neurons in the previous layer signal flow through the network progress in a forward direction from left to right and on a layer by layer. In this networks we can identify the two kinds of networks. First one is Function Signal-A function signal is an input signal that comes in at the Input end of the network. Second one is Error Signal- an error signal originates at an output neuron of the network and propagates backward i.e. layer by layer through the network. In this paper, we adapt a multilayer perceptron algorithm for label ranking. We focus on the adaptation of the BackPropagation (BP) mechanism.

Keywords: Label Ranking, back-propagation, multilayer perceptron.

Consequently, whereas a true perceptron performs binary classification, a neuron in a multilayer perceptron is free to either perform classification or regression, depending upon its activation function. The two arguments raised above can be reconciled with the name "multilayer perceptron" if "perceptron" is simply interpreted to mean a binary classifier, independent of the specific mechanistic implementation of a classical perceptron. In this case, the entire network can indeed be considered to be a binary classifier with multiple layers[11][12]. Furthermore, the term

"multilayer perceptron" now does not specify the nature of the layers; the layers are free to be composed of general artificial neurons, and not perceptrons specifically. This interpretation of the term "multilayer perceptron" avoids the loosening of the definition of "perceptron" to mean an artificial neuron in general. 1.1. ARCHITECTURE The network topology used in this study is based on fully connected feed-forward ANNs. The number of nodes in the input layer is equal to the number of features presented by the data, while the number of nodes in the output layer (L) is equal to the number of classes that this data map to. At least one hidden layer must be added to the architecture in order to treat the non-linear separation among classes. Several networks with one and two hidden layers, with different number of nodes in each hidden layer, have been used[11][12][15]. The architecture for a multilayer perceptron with two hidden layers.

Next, the input pattern is applied and the output calculated (this is called the forward pass). The calculation gives an output which is completely different to what you want (the Target), since all the weights are random. We then calculate the Error of each neuron, which is essentially: Target - Actual Output (i.e. What you want – What you actually get). This error is then used mathematically to change the weights in such a way that the
