Why in some quizzes I see that the single neuron weights are stored in a column, but in others they are stored in a row? I’m lost Sometimes I see “wT * X”, (which means that single neuron weights are stored in a column, so that the transpose will switch them to horizontal direction), but sometimes the T is omitted So, what’s the proper way to store weights? single neuron - 1 column or single neuron - 1 row?

Is the issue resolved sir? Thank you

Hi, @Denys. Welcome to the Specialization.

Please see this recent thread on the topic. If that doesn’t help, then maybe you think that there is an issue with a quiz question that you can raise.
