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
