Overview

Artificial Neural Networks are computing systems inspired by the biological brain. They process information through interconnected processing units called neurons, and they are used for tasks such as pattern recognition, classification, and regression. The first artificial neural network was the Per

Key Concepts

An ANN is a computing system

An ANN is a computing system inspired by the biological brain. It works through interconnected neurons and learns from data by adjusting weights.

Perceptron was the first artificial neural

Perceptron was the first artificial neural network, invented in 1958 by Frank Rosenblatt. It was intended to model how the human brain processes visua

A neuron has four parts

A neuron has four parts: dendrites, soma, axon, and synapses. Dendrites receive information, soma processes it, axon sends it onward, and synapses con

The input layer receives raw data

The input layer receives raw data with no processing. It corresponds to dendrites in a neuron.

Hidden layers perform feature extraction

Hidden layers perform feature extraction and complex computation. They process the information received from previous layers and help the network lear
