Study Notes

Neural Network Principle

A neural network can predict an unknown output for a given new input after training.

Neural Network Categories

There are three main categories of neural networks:
- Fully-Connected Neural Networks (FCN)
- Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)
- Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)

Fully-Connected Neural Networks (FCN)

Building blocks are neurons
Inputs are processed in the forward direction only
Deals with vector data inputs
Advantages: simple design
Disadvantages: computationally expensive

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)

Building blocks are filters
Filters extract relevant features from input using convolution operation
Deals with matrices/image data inputs
Advantages: high accuracy in image recognition problems
Disadvantages: large training data needed

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)

Building blocks are neurons with recurrent loop in the hidden layer
Inputs are processed in both forward and backward directions
Deals with sequence data inputs
Advantages: finding relations within sequential data
Disadvantages: having difficulties with long sequences

Electrical Applications of Neural Networks

Neural networks have been used in electrical engineering applications, including:
- Fault detection/classification in electric devices
- Fault detection/classification in power systems
- Load estimation for electric devices and power systems
- Optimization of solar and wind power generation
- Self-driving/autonomous cars

Fully-Connected Neural Networks (FCN) - How it Works

FCN is also known as dense neural networks or multi-layer perceptron (MLP)
Every neuron in one layer is connected to every neuron in the subsequent layer
Information flows from the input layer through one or more hidden layers to the output layer

Illustrative Example of FCN

A simple example of using FCN to find the relation between inputs (x1, x2) and output (y)
The computer assumes a linear/straight line equation to approximate the relation
The task of the network is to find the constants (A, B, C) in the equation
