Introduction to Neural Networks
Lesson 1 of 5
A neural network is a computational model that draws loose inspiration from the human brain. At its core, it is constructed from layers of interconnected units known as neurons.
When a neuron processes information, it follows a specific sequence of operations:
- It receives one or more input values.
- It multiplies these inputs by associated weights.
- It adds a bias term to the weighted sum.
- Finally, it passes this combined result through a non-linear activation function to produce its output.
This structure allows the network to process complex information and learn from data.
