Introduction to ANNHistory of ANNBiological neuron
Card 1Introduction to ANN

What does ANN stand for, and what is it inspired by?

Answer

ANN stands for Artificial Neural Network. It is a computing system inspired by the biological brain and its network of neurons.

Card 2Introduction to ANN

Why are artificial neural networks used in AI?

Answer

Artificial neural networks are used because they can learn from data, recognize patterns, and make predictions. They are useful for tasks such as classification and regression.

Card 3History of ANN

Who invented the first artificial neural network, and when?

Answer

The first artificial neural network, called Perceptron, was invented in 1958 by psychologist Frank Rosenblatt. It was intended to model how the human brain processes visual data and learned to recogni…

Card 4Biological neuron

What is a biological neuron?

Answer

A biological neuron is the basic functional unit of the nervous system. It receives, processes, and transmits electrical and chemical signals.

Card 5Biological neuron

Name the four parts of a neuron.

Answer

A neuron has four parts: dendrites, soma, axon, and synapses.

Card 6Biological neuron

What is the function of dendrites?

Answer

Dendrites are tree-like branches that receive information from other neurons. In an ANN, they correspond to the input layer.

Card 7Biological neuron

What is the function of the soma?

Answer

The soma is the cell body of the neuron. It processes the information received from dendrites. In an ANN, it matches the idea of hidden layer processing.

Card 8Biological neuron

What is the function of the axon?

Answer

The axon is the cable-like part of a neuron through which information is sent to the next neuron. In an ANN, it corresponds to the output layer.
