What is Neural Network
Computing system mimicking brain structure
Neural Network — a computing system whose architecture is inspired by biological neural networks of the brain, capable of learning from data.
Architecture
- Input Layer — receives raw data
- Hidden Layers — process and transform data
- Output Layer — produces results
- Neurons — computational nodes with weights
- Activation Functions — ReLU, Sigmoid, Tanh
Types of Neural Networks
- CNN — convolutional networks for images
