    Study Notes

    Neural Networks

    Definition

    • A neural network is a machine learning model inspired by the structure and function of the human brain.
    • It's a collection of interconnected nodes (neurons) that process and transmit information.

    Types of Neural Networks

    • Feedforward Neural Networks: Information flows only in one direction, from input nodes to output nodes, without forming cycles.
    • Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): Information flows in a loop, allowing the network to keep track of state and make decisions based on previous inputs.
    • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): Designed to process data with grid-like topology, such as images.

    Components of a Neural Network

    • Artificial Neurons (Nodes): Receive one or more inputs, perform a computation on those inputs, and send the output to other nodes.
    • Connections (Edges): Represent the flow of information between nodes.
    • Activation Functions: Introduce non-linearity into the network, allowing it to learn and represent more complex relationships.
    • Weights: Assigned to each connection, determining the strength of the signal transmitted between nodes.

    How Neural Networks Learn

    • Training: The network is presented with a dataset, and the error between predictions and actual outputs is calculated.
    • Backpropagation: The error is propagated backwards through the network, adjusting the weights and biases to minimize the error.
    • Optimization Algorithms: Used to update the weights and biases, such as Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) or Adam.

    Applications of Neural Networks

    • Image Recognition: CNNs can recognize objects, classify images, and detect anomalies.
    • Natural Language Processing: RNNs can process sequential data, such as text or speech, for tasks like language translation or sentiment analysis.
    • Game Playing: Neural networks can be trained to play games like chess, Go, or video games.
