A BASIC INTRODUCTION TO NEURAL NETWORKS
WHAT IS A NEURAL NETWORK? The simplest definition of the neural network is " a computing system made up of a number of simple, highly interconnected processing elements, which process information by their dynamic state response to external inputs.' BASIC OF NEURAL NETWORKS Neural networks are typically organized in layers. Layers are made up of a number of interconnected 'nodes' which contain an 'activation function'. Patterns are presented to the network via the ' input layer', which communicates to one or more 'hidden layers' where the actual processing is done via system of weighted 'connections'. the hidden layers then link to an 'output' layer' where the answer is output.
