• The output a network contains the solution to a problem. For example, in the case of a loan application, the output can be yes or no.
• The ANN assigns numeric values to the output, such as 1 for “yes” and 0 for “no.”
• The purpose of the network is to compute the output values.
• Often, postprocessing of the output is required because some network use two outputs: one for “yes” and another for “no.”
• It is common to round the outputs to the nearst 0 or 1.
