What is a Neural Network? Explained with Its Types

Sharing is Caring

As we have discussed the Convolutional Neural Network earlier in the Deep Learning Sciences. In this article, we will discuss Neural Networks in detail.

What is Neural Network?

The human brain is the inspiration behind NN (neural network) system. Human brain cells also called neurons, form a complex, highly interconnected network (interconnection of neurons) and transfer electrical signals from one to another to help humans process information. The ANN (artificial neural network) is made of artificial neurons that work together to solve a bug. Artificial neurons are application modules, called nodes (pathways intersect), and ANN (artificial neural networks) are application software programs or problem-solving techniques that, at their core, use computer systems to solve mathematical calculations like asthmatic and logical calculations. NN (Neural net) reflects the behavior of the human brain, and allows computer programs and recognize patterns and solve related problems in the fields of deep learning, machine learning, and AI.

Definition and Layers of Neural Network

Neural networks, also called ANN (artificial neural networks) or SNN (simulated neural networks), are a subset of machine learning and AI (Artificial intelligence) is at the heart of deep learning problem-solving techniques. The structure is inspired by the human brain that biological neurons signal to one another. It can be explained by example.

(ANN) Artificial neural networks are comprised of node layers, containing the following layers.

  • Input layer
  • Hidden Layer
  • Output Layer

Input layer:

The input layer is the first layer of ANN (artificial neural network). The input layer will accept the data and pass it to the hidden layer of the network. The input layer of an ANN (Artificial neural network) is composed of artificial input neurons and brings the initial data into the system for further processing by subsequent layers of artificial neurons. The first layer is the very beginning of the workflow for the ANN (artificial neural network).

Hidden Layer:

In ANN (Artificial neural network ) a hidden layer is located mid between the input and output layer of the algorithm, the function applies weight to the input and then processes the hidden layer to direct them through the activation function as output. The hidden layers perform nonlinear transformations of the input layer entered into the network.

Output layer:

The output layer is the last layer of ANN (artificial neural network) that proceeds meaningful information after processing the input and output layers. The output layer in an ANN (artificial neural network) model directly outputs a prediction. ANN (Artificial neural networks) is composed of artificial input neurons and brings the initial raw fact into the system for further processing by hidden layers of artificial neurons.

Conclusion:

ANN (Artificial neural networks) is used for input data and then is located mid of the input and output layer of the algorithm, the function applies weighting to the input and then processes the hidden layer to direct them through the activation function as output. From this, we know where in the ANN it is used and what its applications are. ANN (Artificial neural networks) is a popular deep learning and machine learning technique for current visual object recognition tasks. Like all deep learning and machine learning tasks and techniques, ANN (Artificial neural networks)  is depend on the size and quality of the training data or information ANN (Artificial Neural Network) used the processing of the brain as a basis to develop new algorithms that can be used to model complex patterns and predict problems or bug.
