tf.nn.softmax(logits, name=None)
If logits is just a generic Tensor input, why is it named logits?
Secondly, what is the difference between the following two methods?
tf.nn.softmax(logits, name=None)
tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(logits, labels, name=None)
I know what tf.nn.softmax does, but not the other. An example would be really helpful.

It's not often clear which method is better for a particular project, and I'm certain the answer is always "it depends." Often, a combination of both along with Bayesian classification is used.
These questions on Stackoverflow have already been asked regarding ANN vs SVM:
ANN and SVM classification
what the difference among ANN, SVM and KNN in my classification question
Support Vector Machine or Artificial Neural Network for text processing?
In this question, I'd like to know specifically what aspects of an ANN (specifically, a Multilayer Perceptron) might make it desirable to use over an SVM? The reason I ask is because it's easy to answer the opposite question: Support Vector Machines are often superior to ANNs because they avoid two major weaknesses of ANNs:
(1) ANNs often converge on local minima rather than global minima, meaning that they are... less

I could think of limiting the height of the tree, but this seems trivial. Could anyone give me a better idea on how to implement my termination function.
Here in my tree building algorithm.

For example, when mapping the AND function, when I use 2 inputs and 1 output, it does not give the correct weights, however, when I use 3 inputs (1 of which is a bias), it gives the correct weights.

I'm not implying that Python is the best language. But the fact is that most of the famous AI frameworks have primary support for Python. They can even be multi language supported, for example, TensorFlow that supports Python, C++, or CNTK from Microsoft that support C# and C++, but the most used is Python (I mean more documentation, examples, bigger community, support, etc). Even if you choose C# (developed by Microsoft and my primary programming language) you must have the Python environment set up.
I read in other forums that Python is preferred for AI because the code is simplified and cleaner, good for fast prototyping.
So what is the big deal with Python?
Why is there a growing association between Python and AI? less
