Machine Learning and Neural Networks

Machine learning enables computers to learn patterns from data without explicit programming by humans.
Neural networks, a prominent machine learning method, stem from research in the 1940s focused on mimicking human learning through the structure of the brain.

Structure of the Brain

The brain is composed of interconnected neurons that communicate via electrical signals.
Neurons process signals and can become activated, allowing them to propagate further signals to other neurons.

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)

ANNs are mathematical models inspired by biological neural networks, designed to facilitate machine learning.
Each neural network functions as a mathematical function mapping inputs to outputs based on its structure.
The positioning and connection of units (or artificial neurons) within the network influence its functionality.

Functionality of ANNs

ANNs learn to adjust their parameters to model the appropriate mathematical function for given input data.
Input data examples include variables like weather characteristics (x1, x2) used to predict outcomes such as rain.

Hypothesis Function

The hypothesis function represents predictions based on the weighted sum of input variables.
It is expressed mathematically as:
- ( h = w_0 + w_1 \cdot x_1 + w_2 \cdot x_2 )
This function helps determine binary classifications like whether it will rain or not based on the inputs provided.
