.... Unlike the Boltzmann machine, BP cannot represent
probabilites of combinations of output units. For example, a Boltzmann
machine can give high probability to the output vectors 01 and 10 and low
probability to 11 and 00. BP cannot do this.
------
However, this is just the sort of thing one can do with
multiple hidden layers, in which the next hidden layer is
making (certainty/uncertainty) decisions about combinations of <output> units
below....of course with the caveat that learning time
increases and learning efficacy decreases...comparatively
BMs take a bit of training time as well..
