Study Notes
Basic Understanding
- Neural networks are inspired by the human brain.
- Neural networks recognize patterns and make predictions.
- The three main types of layers in a neural network include the input layer, hidden layer(s), and output layer.
- The input layer receives raw data such as pixels from an image.
Working Mechanism
- Neurons in a neural network process inputs through activation functions.
- Weights in a neural network determine how important an input is.
- Activation functions introduce non-linearity in the model.
- A commonly used activation function is ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit).
Training Process
- Backpropagation trains a neural network.
- The purpose of backpropagation is to adjust weights and minimize error.
- Gradient descent is the algorithm used to update the weights in backpropagation.
- Gradient descent calculates the direction to reduce error.
Neural Network Structure
- In the hidden layers, data is transformed through weighted connections.
- Weights connect the neurons in a neural network.
- Without hidden layers, a neural network may not learn complex patterns.
Applications and Use Cases
- A major application of neural networks include is image recognition.
- Medicine and healthcare heavily rely on neural networks for predictions.
- AI-based chatbots are built on neural networks.
Advanced Concepts
- Neural networks require vast amounts of data to improve accuracy and generalization.
- A neural network that is too complex with too many layers may overfit the data.
