    Study Notes

    Biological Neural Networks

    • Two fundamental components: neurons and synapses
    • Neurons receive, integrate, and transmit information
    • Synapses enable communication between neurons

    Neural Network Functionality

    • A neuron receives excitatory input, and if it's sufficiently large compared to inhibitory input, it fires (generates an action potential)
    • Main function of a neural network: process inputs to produce outputs
    • Key elements: neurons, synapses, and weights (strength of connections)

    Neural Network Architecture

    • Input layer: represents the raw information fed into the network
    • Hidden layer: determines the behavior of hidden units
    • Output layer: determines the behavior of output units
    • Weights and biases determine the behavior of hidden and output units

    Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)

    • Role: model and simulate human brain functionality
    • Primary role: learn from data to yield correct results for new unknown problem instances
    • Significance of training: enables ANNs to learn and adapt to new data
    • Training data: ANNs learn from to yield correct results for new unknown problem instances

    Human Brain Functionality

    • Approximate number of synapses each neuron is connected to: 10,000
    • Brain processes information through complex neural networks
    • Difficulty in developing programs for face recognition or hand-writing recognition: complexity of brain functionality

    Neural Network Processing

    • Neurons within a neural network process inputs to produce outputs through a series of complex computations
    • Terminal button in a neuron: releases neurotransmitters into the synapse
    • A well-trained ANN yields correct results for new unknown problem instances
    • Synapse function: enables chemical communication between neurons
